Reviews with content warning for Blood - Une fenêtre sur les ténèbres

The insane hype for this book online feels a tad bit disproportionate… the magic system was unique and interesting, but the FMC was yet another naive 19 year old that’s slow on the uptake for everything. The cliffhanger was dramatic enough for me to give book 2 a shot still.

This book has mystery, intrigue, ghosts, magic, and romance! Love the interesting magic system and unique storytelling. The only reason it’s not 5 stars is because I think it needs a glossary to keep track of people and things. 😂

I did not mean to finish this in a few hours holy shit

what a page-turner! the world building had me worried in the first half, but it quickly began to make sense and now I’m INVESTED.

I also just love a main char that is inhabited by a morally ambiguous entity. Venom, Vespertine,… this is my jam

the romance was just enough and honestly I didn’t expect to like ye olde fake dating so much, even if it was a speedrun

so glad I bought the next one already
