I didn’t have time to write a review because I was in such a hurry to read the next book!

This was utterly fabulous, an absolute joy! I was laughing near-constantly, and greatly enjoyed all of the characters as well as the story. Seeing Killian and Hazel at the beginning was rather fun, and Leila quickly proved herself an amusing, likable, and generally wonderful main character! I love her! I warmed up to Rigel last the book went on, and I look forward to seeing their relationship develop in the next two books. The first book in the Court of Midnight and Deception trilogy was a great introduction to the night fae court, and Leila, who was a side character in Hall of Blood and Mercy. I really enjoyed the book and would absolutely recommend it! I've been reading K.M. Shea's books for seven or eight years now (and have nearly all of her books), and she never disappoints! 5 stars!

This was a fun reread! I really like Leila, and K.M. Shea does a great job of developing the world of the fae without being overwhelming or leaving out important details. Onto book 2! 4.5 stars.

Definitely best read after Hall of Blood & Mercy so you have the benefit of that world building + character backgrounds. This book has a bit of a slow start, but felt like it was laying a bunch of groundwork for book 2 and worth the setup. I'm eager to read the next book!
