Loved this book!! Was kind of disturbing and hard to read at times but overall really enjoyed. 

Was SUPER emotionally distraught with the rabbit story scene…and giving 4 stars because I’m still so confused about Darlington and his partial demon self and who killed who. Unsure if this will be explained further, but at this point it is very incompletely elucidated.

If you liked the first instalment of this series, you will not be disappointed by this one. In many ways the story line is more interesting and better developed.

Not quite as good as the first book but it reads so much quicker now that you have much more context to everyone and everything.

Leigh Bardugo's writing style is so enrapturing and I had an incredibly hard time putting this red down when I needed to do productive tasks. 

I loved this story a lot!! My only complaint was that the romance aspect felt a bit out of nowhere and forced. Otherwise, brilliant all around.

What, oh what could a demon offer you for your future, for your damnation. What would be worth your soul, anothers, or the suffering of others to be fed and damned by your hand.
