Critics Review
Utterly unique, hilarious, swoony beyond my wildest dreams! This book is an instant classic and a true masterpiece, and I’ve never read anything like it. Like a warm hug, that also made me laugh, and also took my breath away and made my heart explode. It’s like the author took every single trope I adore and executed them in the most perfect way. A magnificent book, and I cannot wait for it to become everyone’s favourite and to bring them as much joy as it brought me! – Ali Hazelwood
Brilliant and wildly imaginative, with a delicious forbidden romance set in a fascinating fantasy world. Knightley is a remarkable talent, weaving together witty comedy, slow-burn longing, and heart-wrenchingly poetic imagery – Sarah Hawley, author of A Witch’s Guide to Fake Dating a Demon
With the most wickedly delicious banter, Brigitte Knightley is sure to become your next favourite author. This had all the things I love most: a slow-burn romance that hurts so good, truly agonizing enemies-to-lovers, with a twisty mystery at its core – Julie Soto, author of Forget Me Not
The slow burn romance of my dreams. Whip smart, creative, and brimming with banter and wit … both the hero and heroine had me laughing and shouting to just kiss already. This one is a rare delight – Isabel Ibañez, author of What the River Knows

This is the perfect romantasy for those who like their villains (and heroes) with a touch of murder, thievery, and questionable morals. Sexy and hilarious with dry-as-bone humour, Knightley’s writing is not to be missed – Elissa Sussman, author of Funny You Should Ask
A goddamn delight in every sentence. I cackled, I swooned, I was filled with bitter jealousy over Brigitte Knightley’s voice and prose. Read this if you have taste! – Yulin Kuang
Sworn enemies, underhanded shenanigans, dazzling magic and delicious romantic tension make this a witty, wonderful gem. Whether you’re Team Aurienne (she of the incandescent brilliance) or Team Osric (he of the magnificent cheekbones) or just Team Would You Two Just Kiss Already, I promise you’ll love this – Sangu Mandanna, author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches
