I generally lean towards genre fiction and love books with either a more campy nature or a darker atmosphere!

This book is the feeling of another hand in yours that comforts you when the going gets rough. It doesn't tell you "it's going to be okay." It says "I understand."
And there's nothing quite like that.

With his excellent characters and excellent use of flashbacks you'll slowly unravel just how everything is connected. There's the good and the bad but what happens for the rest of us left in the gray, it's messy and it sucks, but we can get through it "one bite at a time".

Witches, royalty, and Revolution. Oh my!!

Dani and Dorian are forced to pick their side in a revolt against the monarchy. While light and whimsical the darker moments can feel quite sobering in comparison. I read this back when it was a webtoon alone. A plot twist threw me through a loop, and it will come center stage in vol.2! Strap in this story is a ride and I'm here for it!

All I can say is wow. I wasn't sure what I was expecting going into it, but I was more than pleasantly surprised at what I got. If a fast paced, action packed, character driven story that knocks your socks off by the finale is what you're looking for, you're in luck.
