This is the second in this series but it takes place before the first book. Why? Every ending is a beginning. The story is genius for a lot of reasons. This one was about identity, because the main characters aren't just sisters but twins. The story raises interesting questions about how we become who we are, how much what we look like influences those around us, and do we really decide who we are or are we just making the best of it?

I loved this book. I mean I LOVED this book. It's a 174 pages of amazing. It's imaginative and something that only this author could pull off. The second book is on its way right now and I can't wait. Did I have the killer pegged from the beginning? Yes, but the question is did I care? No I didn't. The power of this book is in the storytelling and no one spins a fairytale like Seanan McGuire. What an #awsomeapril

I LOVED this book. It's been a while since I've been so utterly mesmerized. This book had it all, a cursed main character, adventure, mystery, characters you want to know every detail about, and some laugh out loud moments you may want to be alone for. I loved every single second that I was in this world. It's an adventure with scary moments and you hope that Al has everything as much in hand as he appears to. 😅
