    "Solid debut and different from anything I had read before! There was a little bit of everything. Mystery, some romance and then it delved into religion and the soul. I really enjoyed the cast of characters and was invested in each of them.”

    Unique magic system & take on religion and spirituality; sad girl healing and lots of good brain-scratching theorizing.
    Mercy gives maximum sad girl energy that is absolutely heart breaking… but the way she climbs her way up from rock bottom? The way she learns to accept herself and find her true inner confidence—with some assistance from the most perfect golden retriever man, Aiden (who can have all of my forehead kisses muah muah muah muah)—absolutely adore this journey.
    I’ve read it twice and honestly need a third read through soon. I so excited to read the next book 💙
    Oh, and void is the best 🐈‍⬛ and should be president or king of earth and all other realms.
