I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I really wanted to read a short novel that had an interesting concept so when this one was recommended to me, I grabbed the chance!

I received this novel as an advanced copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This was a long time coming. I remember reading the second novel in this series and wanting to get started on this one right away … but life (and other books on my TBR list) got in the way.…
