This is a nice cute, cosy fantasy book about far assassins who come to retaliate and kill a human. This human accidentally killed another fae assassin.
The problem is she finds out how to ensnare them and make them do as she says. Which leads to three fierce fae assassins working in a cosy coffee shop in Toronto. It’s cute, full of action and is a really good story to read. I saw it described as a palette cleaner and I agree with that vibe.
My one gripe, which is why it didn’t get 5 stars is that the ending was incredibly rushed, I also saw every one of the plot twists before they came. Which meant I wasn’t emotionally invested in a way I could have been, however the actual ending is what I wanted so I guess it’s fine?
It has a satisfying ending, despite the rushing it feels like a great place to stop. Which is a little weird since it’s the first book in a new series. Surely I should be wanting more?
Not sure if it’ll be one I reread, possibly if I want to read it again before the next in the series. That’s if I decide I want to know the next stages.
