A review by booksandlemonsquash
Dangerous Remedy by Kat Dunn
4.0
I received this book from the publisher via Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
I definitely enjoyed this more than I thought I would, given I’m often not a fan of historical fiction. Turns out adding magic helps!
I did like our main crew, though there were lots of in group conflicts when I prefer a tighter knit crew. I did love the twists and turns those conflicts brought though! Camille and Ada in particular need to effing trust each other!! But they were super cute too. I did want to know a little more about our squad, but I feel that’s coming in book 2. From the way the ending played out, that would be hard to avoid! And I really enjoyed how that ending split our team.
I found getting to see a bit more about the French Revolution quite interesting as I only knew a little more than the basics, and I liked how it played into our tale our heists and secret magic. I also think the way the crew is “underground” is more realistic than other resistance novels I’ve read.
