ARC review. 

One of the few second chance romances that I’ve enjoyed! Both of the main characters are super sweet and amazing people. No unnecessary drama, just lots of love.

ARC review 

Packed with mystery, self discovery, healthy dose of resisting the norms, and supernatural powers. I love to get more background into this literary world, and this prequel certainly gives more insight but in a mysterious and almost ominous way. 

I really enjoy the way Okonafor writes. Even though this story is short, it gives so much. All the relationships between the characters, the world, the environment. All of the elements feel so full and give life to this world. 

Great story!
