You must be wondering how we got here, well let’s start from the beginning…
The second my fingers gained access to this book I cracked it open and HAD to read it because everyone I knew said this book was made for me and so I couldn’t resist I’m a simple girl.
At first I was kinda underwhelmed?? But thought okay there has to be some reason there’s a craze over it so I’ll just be patient. Then came a turn in the story like fifty pages later and I was all yess we’re finally getting somewhere until it started to get boring again. It wasn’t until then that I realised the docu parts of the book kept taking me out of the story and I’d start daydreaming about other shit. Clace and Hoda had to scream at me to keep going, so persevere I did. And i can finally tell u that yes it was fucking WORTH IT. Idk what I would’ve done had I not stayed patient.
It wasn’t until I think the third part of the book where I was RINSING thru the pages like it was water. I was thirsty for answers I didn’t get up once during the second half of the book for NOTHING not food not air nor water, this book became my sole sustenance for those last moments. I was so consumed with it I didn’t see anything but Kate and Heath.
The plot twists, the mindfucks, the angst and tension kept me fed for decades to come. I truly don’t think you can replicate the feeling this book gives. You can look elsewhere but the characters you find will not compare.
|| IMPORTANT ||
I wanted to clear smth up, there was NO cheating in this book between the characters. Shit happens but there’s a really fine line. Inferences and opinions can be made however anyone sees fit but factually speaking there isn’t any cheating. I went into it with the misconception that there is and it kinda made me a little ?? bc the whole time was bracing myself only for it to not happen. Left me confused and a lot annoyed over the unnecessary stress.
The characters:

Kate — she’s such a passionate person. Whatever she puts her mind to she does it and sees it thru. I loved how flawed her character was and how her complexities were depicted. She was frustrating as fuck. She was endearing. She was cruel and a bitch. She was sweet and vulnerable. It’s these intricacies and nuances that I value in any written character. Her every facet added to her character and it made me love her a little more for it.
Heath — him I couldn’t get a read on for the life of me. To be very honest he’s still a mystery. He was an open book so easy to read for the first half of the book and then after it felt like I didn’t even know who he was. There was no safety in his character which was a new.. uncomfortable feeling for me.

This is most definitely a five I’m stunned into silence. I’m not even joking. The last 10% was SO unexpected I was just NOT prepared for it. At. All.
This is most definitely a five star read. Shit like this doesn’t happen to me and it not turn out to be a five star. Fuck. I feel like I’ve been ran thru a blender!
Reading this made me realise reading can still be fun. It made me think yeah omg books can still be wild and crazy and messy but so entertaining and I can be having the best time of my life. I’m genuinely so excited about reading again I just can’t stop appreciating this author for shifting this bright ray of joy to shine its warmth back on me. I never knew I missed this feeling till it was back. I never even realised I even felt this way till I discovered Mrs Fantome.
I’ve never experienced books like what this author writes. She’s so cherished by me I’m not even joking rn.
Yk how everyone talks about feeling that hangover when they’ve finished Rina Kent’s series or books, yeah well this author is MY Rina Kent.
You know you’ve hit the jackpot when an author doesn’t write around tropes, the storyline is unique and u just feel like their writing was TAILORED to fit u, just u.
I couldn’t stop thinking about this world, these characters. Anytime I’d be doing something that’s not reading I’d be YEARNING to go back to my book, to read more. I just HAD to know what was gna happen next. If bingeable was a book or author this/she would be IT. Im officially obsessed with mrs fantome. My money? It’s hers. She’s mothered too hard I’m scared what imma do when I’ve read all her released works omg ...more

Yk when the mmc somehow loses his personality and becomes stale bread once he gets with the fmc?? Yeah that did NOT happen here. I love love love the fact that the mmc, Jameson, didn’t change his whole personality and fall flat the moment he got with the fmc, Tate. He stayed true to himself, in fact Tate rlly encouraged his inner self while also softening him up that tiniest amount.
Omfds this author knows exactly how to write characters. Even the side characters have a LIFE, a vibrant colourful and 3D personality. I’ve fallen in love with all the side characters so imagine how obsessed I am with the MC’s ...more

It was a rollercoaster that’s for sure. There were some ups and downs with the way this was written, very simplistic but managed to keep me interested.
The characters were what drove this story forward and what kept me reading but only to a certain point. Then i got invested in the story and that was what made me stay to the end. I started to lose interest I think halfway thru but the book took a turn a couple chapters later and i was sucked back in.

This book has officially put me in the worst slump I’ve had this year. The book hangover is REAL and it’s driving me insane. I can’t even look at another book because I'm hopelessly, irreparably, frightfully in love with these characters to the point I might perish if I don’t read the second one, but I CANT DO IT IM SCARED-
Although, I felt like nothing was happening for the first 40% of the book or what direction the book would take, I remained patient and kept going bc I knew it’s only the first in a trilogy. And it really picked up after the halfway mark, I was speeding thru the second half bc of the sizeable increase in stakes, tension and drama.
Stacey, I hate u but I can’t help that I love u too. At first, I was a bit like she's annoying and there was nothing overly interesting about her to make me want to care for her outside Kade but boi was I wronggggg. I’m sorry bbg I’ll never doubt u again ...more

MakramNaime’s exquisiteness is beyond words. I’ve never read about two individuals that GENUINELY are meant for each other. That make sense together. That have the soulmatery connection type sh*
Them as a couple make me wanna cry. They called me single in every language that matters- don’t mind me imma just. . .

I tried to stretch this book out for as long as possible bc I didn’t want it to end I didn’t want to have to leave their perspectives so soon. I wanted to savour their journey towards each other but also fully immerse myself in this beautiful world JD Evans crafted. It was MESMERISING. Diving into this world, learning its magic and lore was an experience I need everyone to feel at least once in their lifetime. The subtle details and poetic nature of the story had me in a trance and I never wanted to leave.
The politics. The verbal sparring. The mind games. I’m a fiend for this shit and it was bark worthy trustttt
Idk if I wanna be Naime or wanna be WITH her. The chokehold she had on me the entire book ...more
