You have to know that I WILL LOVE anything and everything that happens to do with Devil's Night (side note: Thank you to Penelope Douglas), so how could this masterpiece of a book be any different? That's right, it simply can't. Because the math must be mathing. And whenever Rina Kent is involved, nothing dissapoints. She's my favourite author after all. And one's favourites can't do no wrong.  

Btw, THE ENDING 😭😭😭😭. It's perfection incarnate < 3. The way that we share a love for happy ever afters, always brings me the uttermost joy. Because if that wouldn't be guaranteed in Rina Kent's books, you'd find me screaming, crying, throwing up and curled up in my bed 24/7 (more than you'd already find me doing now, with all of her absolute genius plottwists). So, this is just 1 more argument that explains why she's my favourite author. 

Now onto my love letter:

Dearest Rina Kent, I must thank you with all of my heart for all you do as an author. I didn't expect to become mesmerised with your writing and therefore read ALL of your published work, but life is nothing but full of surprises. And I absolutely couldn't be happier. If you are ever having a bad day, I'll have you remember that your work makes my life worth living and I'll forever be grateful for everything you do! I might be of the silent-supporter kind but if there's ever one author who I'll support and defend 'till my last day, it's definitely you < 3. 

You have my heart,
Katherine
