3.5 ⭐️ For the unique storyline.
Iris is a professor in art history at Harvard. On her 30th birthday she receives an amulet and a letter from her dead mother delivered to her by her estranged father. Over time the amulet starts creating strange light and sometimes teleports her to another place. She meets someone else with the same magical amulet and they develop a strong connection. However if they touch each other they burn one another. This is a contemporary urban fantasy however I think it’s lightly sprinkled with the fantasy element. Maybe further on in the series the fantasy aspect will pick up since this is just book 1. I would say this is a good book for those that aren’t used to fantasy. I didn’t really care for the twist at the end but I’ll still be reading the second book. Why didn’t she just read the letter when she first got it 😩

A 3.5 for me, the story was good and the last few chapters lead up to a great cliff hanger for a second book making me want to know more about the prisms but I just couldn’t get over how much I disliked the main characters- iris didn’t have the balls to tell Aaron she didn’t love him so she broke his heart by emotionally cheating on him. Aaron was a needy spoilt brat and Hoyt just seemed off to me. When the next in the series comes out I may continue to read
Thank you NetGalley for letting me read and review, I also enjoyed the audiobook.
