I really enjoyed this book, the storyline was very interesting and kept me intrigued through the entire book! I’m very excited to see where the rest of the series goes!

Brilliant dark fantasy spin on the tale of the lost colony of Roanoke that all Americans learned about early in our history classes. The colony where the first English child was born on American soil…the colony that simply vanished a few years after being settled. The mystery that has surrounded that colony ever since - what happened to the colonists? Was the carving of “croatoan” a message of assimilation with the native tribes? Questions that have no answers.

Here though we get a spin on the story that is equal parts dark and alluring. I mean who doesn’t love a story with a deliciously dark curse that spans centuries?!

I should mention this story plays out through multiple points of view (3) - which never bothers me personally. I feel like it adds depth to the storyline. Eleanor’s POV is an imagined glimpse into the past; John’s POV spans time/worlds; and Redd’s POV gives the modern spin.

I’m eagerly anticipating the next book already and was thrilled to hear this would be a trilogy that explores issues such as are people born evil or is evil situational; would you choose to take a life to save more lives; what lengths would you go to to save your child?

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion - which is easy to give with this one as I absolutely LOVED it.

This book was amazing. I loved the writing style and the characters. Throughly enjoyed this. Katie brings this world to life, I found it hard to put this down.

**Thank you Netgalley and the author for this ARC.

This wasn't entirely my cup of tea, the romance fell a little flat for me. I didn't feel their chemistry at all. However, I was completely engrossed with the plot, the last 30% of the book had me at the edge of my seat.
If you like a page turner, ''i love you but have to kill you" romance, a fantasy with a historical and a contemporary settings then this is right up your alley.
Cons :
Eleanor's pov; I felt completely detached from the story during Eleanor's chapters. It was a struggle reading through those.
Confusing world building
Kinda Insta love!!
Twilight vibes
Pros:
Interesting plot
A fierce heroine
A great female friendship ( sisters before misters 😉)
Twilight vibes. ( Yep, its both con and pro)

I'm still undecided whether I'll be continuing on with the series or not.

LOVED loved loved this book.

The writing had me captivated from the start to finish, and I found myself reading it almost straight through one sitting. I look forward to reading more by this author.

Fantasy is one of my favourite genre. And I’m such a sucker for a good fantasy book, especially when it’s been quite some time for me to get hooked on to a single one that has hold my attention enough to finish it in a single sitting. I absolutely loved every single second of being in this world; loved the pacing, the characters and the word building. Henceforth, it’s quite an enjoyable read.
