Now have I read any other books in this series? No but I love a good FMC that’s black. I read Twisted Lies and I loved it. Ana writes her black FMCS in a way that isn’t cringey but relatable. I’m only 17% in so far and I’m loving it. Vuk does not play about Ayana and I know that’s mfn right!

I just love when I can feel the female rage through the pages. This was a great read. From the first page this had me on the edge, the mystery and gore that is laid out makes it almost impossible not to continue and it just kept getting better. The world building and magic systems are quite unique.
