We couldn't pick up Book 2 in this completed duology fast enough — both Lib and Em read them both like one story and it was a wonderful adventure. The editing in both books is fantastic — no words or plot lines felt unnecessary. Was it a little bit predictable? Yes. Was it still so enjoyable in how it played out? Definitely.
The first book in what Libby calls "the perfect duology!" — truly a 5 star read for both Em and Lib.
Overall, a fun book with a good story line that I’ll be looking forward to completing!
Our favorite read of the year — seriously — 6 star masterpiece!! Devney Perry has a way of bringing you along on the journey like you're right next to these characters as they experience the story. The storytelling and world building is right where it should be for book 1 in a series—a lot of it feels new and unique, but not over the top or hard to grasp. AND...this is how you do a slow burn right—our MMC and MFC are their own whole persons, and the slow progression of their relationship does falling in love justice. In short...GO READ THIS BOOK.
One of the reviews on the back of the book says “Half a Soul is the definition of a comfort read” — and we couldn’t agree more! Such a cozy, whimsical faerie tale.
This was our first official buddy read over on the Bookstagram channel! We invited our followers to read along with us and join us for a virtual book club — which was so fun and resulted in awesome dialog and new book friends. This is a SOLID 4 Star read — super enjoyable and really fun, especially if you love Greek Mythology.
4.75 Stars! I really enjoyed this book from start to finish—it followed a similar structure to Phantasma (i.e. rounds of games and trials), but definitely still felt unique. And it was chalk full of my favorite tropes: Enemies to lovers, forced proximity, games and trials, he falls first, lost memories and bargains with a devil. 👌
4.25 Stars! Overall this is an easy, fun read with great spice. It definitely hit all the right notes for me, and I still think about it every now and then even months later. **SPOILER ALERT** Don't click to read the full review unless you've already read the book.
This book seriously came out of nowhere and I AM HERE FOR IT.

2.5 stars rounded up…I found myself wincing at the writing in this one too many times. While there are great overall concepts in this book, I felt like the overall storytelling execution left a lot to be desired.
I had so much fun reading this book! The writing is light and sarcastic, I loved how awkward the characters were. I’m also a sucker for dual POV!
Once things really got cooking from a plot perspective, I couldn’t put it down!
This book has the potential to be the start of an amazing series! I just wish I had waited to read it until the rest of the series is out.
First, I am just unashamed to say I am very entertained by this series, despite its flaws. I honestly kept thinking about the last chapter of this one for WEEKS afterward.
Dragons! I'll be honest, this series might be a bit overhyped, but it is the perfect entry to the romantasy genre and is non-stop FUN! I had a hard time putting it down the first time, and started book 2 the same day I finished this.
