Thank you so much to the author and The Nerd Fam for an early copy of this book. I had so much fun reading it and my mind is spiraling after that ending!
A few things you can find in this book:
🪞Caraval style whimsical world
🪞Morally grey shadow daddy MMC
🪞Murder Mystery
🪞Enemies to Lovers
🪞Slow Burn
🪞Reluctant allies
🪞Vampires
🪞Godlike beings
🪞Magic with consequences
Where do I even begin?! This book sucked me in from page one. The world was so addictive and unique. It felt very similar to aspects of Caraval and rather than the deities we see in that series being contained to a deck of cards, there are godlike beings who are held within magical mirrors around the city. I love that the magic in this world comes with unintentional consequences and the bigger the wish the bigger the cost.
Quinn was such a fun FMC. She is so resourceful, resilient, intelligent and dedicated. She is also fiercely loyal to the people she holds dearest to her. Emrys, our hot and mysterious MMC, stole my heart IMMEDIATELY! He was witty, morally grey, and a complete puzzle to figure out.
The murder mystery aspects of this book has my brain spinning! I could not guess which was it was going to go which made the journey all the better. And even when I finally thought I’d figured it out…. I was wrong! Talk about a plot twist! The ending of this book left me with so many questions and aching for book two immediately!

"This is giving me the slightest feeling of Once Upon a Broken Heart. In the sense that the mirror gods remind me of the deities.
The deities were contained in a deck of cards and once released, deals with them rarely went as planned. These gods are contained to mirrors and those who dare bargain with them, suffer the consequences."

"“I promise you, Quinnevere Ashelle, if I murdered you, no one would ever discover your corpse.”
“Probably because you would devour me whole.”
“Oh, most definitely. But I might do that just for a good time.”
Oh shit!!!! Feminism who?!"

"If Jane gave her a key and said that her inheritance and secrets are now Quinn’s and can be found using that key… plus they discovered she had an apartment nearby…. AND they’re looking for clues to solve the murder….
THEN WHY HAVEN’T THEY TRIED TO GO TO HER APARTMENT?!"

"“I do remember you agreeing that anywhere you touched, I could also touch, and I don’t think we’re done with your lessons in passion yet for the day.”
“I am fairly certain you just did way more than touch me.”
“My shadows don’t count. Besides, I plan to touch you with my mouth this time.”
LITERALLY ON MY KNEES FOR THIS SHADOW DADDY! 🧎🏽♀️🧎🏽♀️🧎🏽♀️"
