This was a terrific read, you really get drawn into the siren song.
it’s perfect for fans of dark YA. Huge thanks to the publisher for the chance to read and review this ARC, via NetGalley.

OH MY GOD THIS BOOK IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! i was hooked right from the start of the book and the twists and turns made my head spin. i can honestly see this book being the YA book of 2023 - it is honestly incredible.

this is now one of my all time favourite books and gabi burton has such an unbelievable talent with her writing. the world building was so easy to follow and it was not overwhelming at all which i normally find with fantasy books. i absolutely adored saoirse and how morally grey she is (i am such a sucker for morally grey characters). she may be very murderous but i LOVE her. the dynamic between hayes and saoirse was amazing - they have the grumpy/sunshine energy and that is one of my fave tropes. this book has it all: slow burn, badass FMC, betrayal, antiheroes, it is definitely worth the read.

ALSO THAT ENDING????? I NEED BOOK TWO RIGHT NOW! i am honestly so sad that i won’t have a physical copy of the book until june because i want it so badly. thank you so much for allowing me to read this book prior to publication. burton is such a raw talent and i cannot wait to see what happens next.
