 This gave me echoes of The Night Circus but with spice. The games were an intriguing concept. Blackwell/Salem was suspicious from the beginning. So, his reveal at the end wasn't a surprise. I did not enjoy the end though. Ophelia just accepts her potential death and gives him the key? No. I wanted to more.
I recommend it for lovers of NOLA and voodoo!
