This is a beautifully constructed story with imagery that will stay with me for a long time. I partly want there to be another one and also understand there may never be.
Addie LaRue will be in my thoughts for a very long time.
This book simultaneously tore my heart into pieces and put it back together again. I feel as if I, too, have lived with Addie for those 300 years, and I hated finishing the book because it meant, for now, saying goodbye. But it isn’t a goodbye, it’s an ellipses, it’s a see you later, because I will definitely be rereading this again and again. It’s a timeless tale that I can’t get enough of.
Read this if you want to immerse yourself in a magical, yet realistic and heartbreaking story. The writing is gorgeous, the characters feel genuine and they truly come alive on the page. It blends dreams and reality masterfully, a touch of dark magic in the real world. This is the kind of book you’ll be thinking about long after you finish reading it (I know I will be).
You’ll find a slow start, but simmering always blends flavors better than a roiling boil.
This book was excellent, awe inspiring! Addie is very clever.
Love the dark gothic story about things that go bump in the night paired with be careful for what you wish for.
Probably one of the best books I’ve read.
If I could rate this book lower, I would.
Maybe my favorite book of all time now. It has everything…
Held my interest from beginning to end. Great historical references and character development. Believe the hype…highly recommend. Great read the 1st, 2nd…
