Goddamn, that final cliffhanger is delicious. I first read Serpent & Dove in 2020, so this is my re-read, and I had forgotten how spectacular the ending was!

I may not share Lou's excessive swearing, at least not aloud, but I sure as hell share her love for cinnamon rolls and buns! 🥐 I remember it was one of my favorite traits of her when I first read the book; so relatable. The descriptions of smells and such are magnificent.
