I really enjoyed the concept of this fantasy world revolving around moon magic. I also LOVED how it's just one book rather than a series because the ending felt complete and let you wonder about what was next for certain characters. Catrin and Simon are hunting down a serial killer that keeps murdering women and leaving behind clues. Truly one of my favorite parts was the incorporation of mental illness within this book. The author did a great job of highlighting how mental illness is stigmatized and individuals with these issues are viewed as crazy. However, when it's an illness having to do with your kidney, lungs, or any other organs it's viewed as just that an 'illness'. The brain is also an organ so why is it frowned upon when you are experiencing mental health issues??

The beginning started off with plenty of action! I was drawn in from the get-go and wanted to explore more, but it also made me a little nervous about how the rest of the story was going to go. It felt fast-paced in the beginning then slowed down to pick back up towards the ending. I LOVED the twists and turns at the end!! I truly wasn't expecting that and every time I thought I had it figured out SIKE another curveball.

Overall, if you're looking for a whodunit book with a splash of fantasy this is right up your alley. I plan on reading more books from this author because this one didn't disappoint. I understood the concept of the fantasy world and found that I wasn't overwhelmed with the world-building like I can be with other fantasy books sometimes.
