  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes

I am going to tell you absolutely nothing about this book just that I loved it. I was obsessed. I read it in a day!! 

I cannot tell you how excited I was to read a book where one of my absolutely favorite paintings ever (if not THE favorite) was a major part in this story. The integration of art as a key element in the story arc was exceptionally fantastic and I loved reading all the supernatural twists Scott added to actual art history. 

I enjoyed the pacing, the characters, the dialogue and the general plot. I was happy with the ending considering this is a planned trilogy! I can’t wait to see where it goes.
