admin posted this on October 21st, 2020  Oh my goodness but I love love love these books!! Lucas Page is amazing, his wife and Whitaker are rockstars, the mysterious underpinning each book are original and well crafted, and the back and forth revelations – inch by painstaking inch – of his history with Kehoe are fascinating to witness unfold… There’s so much going on, layered seven secrets deep here – I want five more books to come out tomorrow just so I can watch it all unravel at the current pace, which is perfect for this series. If you haven’t started this series yet, do so quickly – there’s a lot going on and you won’t want to waste a minute catching up when the next installment hits the shelves!!
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my obligation-free review copy.

admin posted this on October 16th, 2020  Oh but how I LOVED this one!! I read Temper when it came out, and was thoroughly entertained. I expected the same this time around, but was blown away by how much she’s improved as a writer/storyteller – and that’s after an exceptional first offering in Temper… This was a marvelous revenge fantasy, but it was so much more than that. The characterization, the plotting, the pacing, the revelations – everything about this one was spot-on. I was captivated by the darkness, horrified (but not surprised, sadly) by the bad behavior, tickled and saddened by the naivete and its attendant consequences… But mostly I was entertained by it all!
