A heartfelt thank you to @Flatiron_Books and @maryepearson for the #gifted of the e-book!  Thank you to @macmillan.audio #MacAudio2024 for the #gifted audiobook.

I listened to the audio as I read the book and was thoroughly captivated by the audio version of this book! The writing was engaging, pulling me in from the very first page to the last. The characters were complex, each with their own rich backstory that intertwined beautifully with others. The ending was a pleasant surprise—not exactly a cliffhanger, but an unexpected twist that left me pondering long after finishing. 

The narrator truly elevated the experience, skillfully bringing each character to life with unique voices that added depth to the story.

If you love a blend of fantasy, romance, and intrigue, this book is one you simply cannot miss. I am eagerly looking forward to Bristol’s next adventure in book 2!  This book is available now.
