received an ARC of this through NetGalley and HOT DAMN am I ready to own it IRL come 2025.
Having read Brianne’s first work, the unfortunate side effects of heartbreak and magic, I already knew that she could spin some magic into her words. This book was a deeper step into the realm of weaving real life practices and a touch of fantasy, and also “aging” her writing up? Not just in a tall dark handsome way, but in a method that involved deeper emotional conflict, a touch of violence, and a bit more at stake than a regular “love story”.
Really happy I had the opportunity to read this one, excited to have a physical copy as a “trophy” on my shelf, and looking forward to more of Breanne’s stories.
