ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THAT'S HOW YOU END THIS BOOK? I MEAN, I'M GLAD I'M READING IN THE YEAR OF 2019 WHICH MEANS I HAVE THE FOURTH ONE READY TO GO. BLESSING TO ALL WHO HAD TO WAIT A YEAR JUST TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED AFTER BOOK THREE.

YOU'RE KILLING ME CAINE!

I mean, what else was I to expect with an Alyssa Cole story? The characters are fantastic. The story is fun. The romance is sweet and lovely. This entire series is going to be my go-to books for when I need a happy place.

Thank you Netgalley and HarperCollins for providing the ARC for an honest review.

Lucy Parker is a lovely writer and I adore her stories.

How in the hell am I supposed to function after listening to the end of this book?

I mean...

It reminds me of when I first saw Mad Max: Fury Road. All action with a few moments to pause and take a breath before everything happens once again. Rachel Caine is a skilled storyteller and I have a feeling that the second book in this series will be just as devastating.

I can't wait.

What fresh hell is this, Ms Caine?

WHAT FRESH HELL IS THIS?

*calmly fans self due to excessive drama and stress*

This was my first dive into Lyndsay Faye and I liked it a lot. Timothy does tend to be melodramatic in his first person narrative but I was so engaged with the story - with the narrator as I read this as an audiobook - that I didn't even care. The history of New York was very apparent throughout the story and it made me yearn for more stories in this time period. Have already picked up the second in the series and will be binging that in the coming days.
