I really loved the story, I devoured it in one sitting. I loved the concept of the book and the lush, atmospheric tone of the book added to the experience. I also really like the writing style of the author. I hope I get to read more book from her in the future.

The summary was very intriguing and I really enjoyed the first half but the second half felt more slow. The characters, and most of the plot was well written for the most part. I can't wait to see what else Colleen Nelson will write next.

This book was fast paced, with a lovely writing style! The descriptions were lush and the characters themselves were very interesting.

i really enjoyed reading this book, the characters were great and I really enjoyed the storyline and I liked the way the author writes. I look forward to more from the author.

3.5 stars

This started amazing. Mysterious. With a little girl found in an alley with no memories at all. It got me hooked up to 40% then somehow it became pretty predictable and thats a shame because I really wanted to love this.
I did like the story and how it developed and how everything started clicking on but in the end i got confused because too much story was "dumped" in one chapter and it became too hard to follow. Thats why im giving it this rating.

TW: mentions of sexual assault and child abuse

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the chance to read the ARC of the book in exchange for an honest review.
