This was a fun read - the world building was super unique and I really liked how the modern city elements were mixed with fantasy elements and magic. 

The spicy scenes were delightful and the banter amongst the characters really added to their depth. I appreciated the mystery component and wished we had lingered in the details a bit more. 

The missing star comes from what felt like a pretty rushed ending with a bit of a “cop out” solution for one of the main characters. 

Still, I’m excited to see what happens next in this world! 

I was given an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
