I was really enjoying this story! Dani’s strength in the face of EVERYTHING having fallen apart around her was incredible. She was channeling her rage and taking down those who wronged her one by one, but then (SPOILER) 











she was basically shamed for her rage by her friend - who was the og in the revenge plot anyways! I get it, the djinn magic was destroying her but idk I didn’t love that she had to drop her awesome female rage and TADA everyone’s happy. 


But, still, it was a great read. I just was looking for more feminine rage I guess 😆

Loved it! The story has some unexpected plot twists that really got me! Dawsyn is a survivor. I’ll be forever crying for the den of girls!

Idk if I expected too much from this book based on reviews, but idk it just felt so slooooowwww - until the last chapter 😆 I’ll probably pick up book 2 in hopes that it stays more high stakes and not so blah

The wit and humor in this book alone deserve 4 stars! The story was engaging from the beginning, and the plot twist was one I did not see coming! Such a fun read!
