Mina is going blind. Losing her job in the fashion industry she goes back to a quant English village (her home) and applies for a job at the local bookshop she practically lived in. Little does she know that the grumpy owner Heathcliff, his roommate Moriarty and their pet Raven are not what they seem.
And better yet, she her ex-best friends arrives in town and is murdered the blame is placed on Mina. The Boys arenโt going to have that!
Itโs a great mix of literary references, mystery, hotties, and swoon worthy giddy glee!

Raeve is an assassin for the rebellion, but a magical one at that. Losing those she loves around her, her heart of guarded from letting anyone else in. Little does she know she has no choice but to trust the man who needs her most, Kaan.
In a world of dragons, wars, magical powers, and Gods. Raeve and Kaan must work together to unravel the truth that is within their grasps.
Long lost love, forgotten ties, and magical ties make this a page turner that I could not put down.

I was had such high hopes when going in to this graphic novel, and it kind of lived up to it. I found the male main character to be a flat character who hasnโt got a lot going for him except for his love for her. Maxi on the other hand is very much an abuse victim, and Iโm really worried she is just liking him because he is nice to her. I kind of ship her and the mageโฆ.
Lots of trigger warnings going in to this novel and I should have read that before hand, because geess!
๐ฃ๐ป๐ธ๐น๐ฎ๐ผ: touch her and die, strength growing female, warrior guy- maiden girl.
