Thank you @Soubhiville and the #AuthorAMonth readers for introducing me to Leigh Bardugo!
Smart and a little sassy. Dark subjects, dark magic, dark humor. A fun and fast-paced read.

•This book explores the nature of sociopathy and the moral complexities surrounding the act of killing. It challenges your understanding of sociopaths and their motivations, asking provocative questions about justification and morality. But it does it entertainingly, putting a unique spin on a typical thriller and it leaves you plenty to contemplate.
•Allyson Ryan‘s narration was very well done…she really made this character come to life.
pickAncient dark magic mixed with murder mystery – why haven't I read this sooner?
Such an elaborate world created by LB yet again. I was in love with the characters and hooked from the beginning. There was always something exciting happening, the story never got boring. I'm off reading the sequel! 🐍🔮
pickHis story was sad. I‘m glad I listened to the audiobook.
pickA very nice and interesting story. I love the university setting. Sometimes I missed some details, of whole passages, because it all went a bit too quick. But overall the main plot was clear and captivating. I'm looking forward to part two.

#WickedWhispers Day 18: There are a lot of #Evil ghosts in this book, like seriously creepy. Too much exposition for the world-building and too plot driven for my usual fare, but ey its Leigh Bardugo, so will trudge on, hoping it improves towards the end.
pickMore #audiostitching while listening to Ruby's wild story. She stands accused of murdering the husband she adored which is ironic given that she's gotten away with three actual murders. I was so conflicted! I wanted her to be exonerated, as she was innocent of the murder she was accused of. But but but, there were those other murders. 😏 This was fun.
Been on the fence about reading this for years, let‘s see how it goes…
