What Readers Are Saying
"i’d go to the front lines for Elspeth and Ravyn‼️ ALL TEN TOES DOWN FOR THEM 😤 my god this was too mf good. i can’t even form words to express my love for this book. so ill try my best here. everything was a hit! the magic system. the characters. the found family. the romance. the plot. my scalp was tingling. our head girl Elspeth basically has this monster’s soul living inside of her. kinda like how Venom lives inside of Eddie Brock. this is her “curse” of sorts. having a sassy tongued creature keep her in check 24/7. then Elspeth meets homeboy (my husband) Ravyn Yew, with his knife to her chest but she beats his ass (literally) and runs ways. later they find out they have a similar problem and are off on this quest. they’re lots of slow heated moments and stolen glances. long story short: it’s kinda hard for them to break the law while they’re on this quest since the kings son is a living menace. iykyk this book dehydrated me. because tell me why i let go of all responsibilities in my life to read this book? drinking water included. Ravyn the man that you are. had me blushing left and right. the way he so effortlessly protects Elspeth. someone give him a medal. he’s so sassy and funny and fierce and loyal to his girl since page 1." — Ayman, Goodreads
"Elspeth got a fever when she was little and now has a furry Dr. Seuss with a mean right hook in her head. She meets a guy with a dumb name and the cleanliness habits of a frat boy. He brings her to a meeting with his wackadoo family and she finds out they're trying to get a bunch of Pokémon cards so they can break a fog curse. Ravyn needs Elspeth nearby so they pretend to date; I'm not questioning it and you shouldn't either." — Ali L, Goodreads
"because, like the synopsis suggests, this is indeed a really interesting story! i love the concept of providence cards, the way the magic in the world works, the main mission/quest, and the mystery of the mist tied in with local folklore and legend. i also found all of the characters to be quite developed and enjoyed how they interacted with each other, the world, and the magic - particularly elspeth x nightmare and elspeth x ravyn. this is definitely a book that, once it ended, i wanted to grab the sequel and read immediately." — jessica, Goodreads
