Review

Don't start this book expecting it to be a standalone—once you finish, you'll immediately crave the sequel. The story expertly lays a foundation for future plot twists, ending on a cliffhanger that left me eagerly anticipating the next book, which unfortunately isn’t out yet!

We meet a young woman who has grown up in an orphanage, where she and the other children—bonded by the shared loss of their parents—care for one another. Her loyalty drives her to make a bold choice: when the fae come for their caregiver, she offers herself in their place.

She's taken to a cursed library and given an impossible task: catalog the books and retrieve certain genres for her fae captors. But along the way, she uncovers a dangerous secret, setting her sights on returning home. This journey pulls her into a world of friendship, love, passion, and ultimately, heartbreak.

The characters are easy to connect with, and their interactions feel genuine and heartfelt. I’m eagerly awaiting the next book in the series!
