challenging dark mysterious tense medium-paced

4.0

 For about the first 1/3 of this book, I wasn't sure what to think of it. I didn't find any of the characters likeable, and it took a while for the mystery of the Cloaks to suck me in. I'd been interested in this book for months, so I really wanted to stick it out. I'm glad I did! In addition to the story, the narrators were perfect.

I was just sitting at work making IVs, having a good time. Then, chapter 34 hit me, and BAM! I've been trying to decide if this book counts as enemies to lovers, and I'm set on a strong maybe.

I called the twist about Lana, but was blindsided by who the bad guy really was. I feel like I should have seen it coming, but I never claimed to be the best at figuring these out. Probably why I'm trying to be a fantasy writer, not mystery 🤷‍♀️

The biggest issue I had with this book was the ending. I really hate when the epilogue just sums everything up and wraps the entire story up in a pretty little bow. I was hoping for more of a conclusion, but I'm mostly happy with the way it ended.
