@TwitchSlowPoke I’m so sorry for your loss, Slowpoke. Sending you and your family lots of love. 🤍

and it never quite got there for me. Still an enjoyable read for dark gothic vibes and those who love a series of trials for the FMC to overcome.

[Lauren Butler @TheLaurenButler]

⭐️⭐️⭐️ I loved the concept of Phantasma & the vibes of a dark gothic and magical New Orleans as our setting. Also wonderful to have an FMC who’s tall! Finally we don’t have to read about how tiny and small the FMC is! I also want to applaud the author on their conveyance of OCD

[Lauren Butler @TheLaurenButler]

and how it might manifest in someone. My biggest criticism would be that I wanted more. I wanted the risks to be higher, our FMC to be smarter, and more descriptions of these rich and detailed settings that continue to change. I wanted to get fully immersed in this story

[Lauren Butler @TheLaurenButler]

So many deliciously dark and dramatic scenes set in contrast with tough to swallow, heart wrenching scenes. Overall I’d give this book a high 3 star rating. Can’t wait to see what Ava writes next!

[Lauren Butler @TheLaurenButler]

⭐️⭐️⭐️ No need to have read or seen Macbeth in order to read this book so do not let that be a barrier. Read through the key at the beginning of the book but don’t feel like you need to study it for a test. Just dive in and enjoy the story!

[Lauren Butler @TheLaurenButler]

I found the beginning a bit slow to start, but we were off to the races in Act 2! Dark themes and vibes as we observe manipulation, deception, and influence guide characters down paths of secrets, strategy, and posturing.

[Lauren Butler @TheLaurenButler]

Overall once the story got going and we had a few mysterious events occur, the pacing picked up and we were off to the races. Definitely thought about this story and these characters for days after I finished the book and this made me want to read more dark gothic stories.

[Lauren Butler @TheLaurenButler]

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really interesting story, mysterious events to figure out along the way, and fantastic dark gothic vibes. Often I wasn’t quite sure which direction the story would take which was exciting and kept me turning pages.

[Lauren Butler @TheLaurenButler]

I enjoyed our main characters as well as their chemistry and journeys too. I did find that scenes felt inconsistent with one another as some scenes I was completely immersed in and others I had to push through a bit to get to the next great scene.

While I found the end to be quite satisfying, I noticed we left a few things open! Truly hoping we get more books in the Sacred Stones series focused on some of our beloved side characters and their next journey.

[Lauren Butler @TheLaurenButler]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Whatever Kate writes next, I will be reading it. This finale was everything I wanted it to be as our characters go through more trials to overcome huge obstacles. The romance is beautiful and the found family and friendships heart warming.

[Lauren Butler @TheLaurenButler]

The stakes were high and events felt epic! I full out sobbed once and cried two more times towards the end. The way these characters are written along with their relationship dynamics…I’m going to miss them.
