This book was amazing. I’ll admit I wasn’t sure after the first chapter, but the more I got into the story the more I needed to read. I need part two immediately. Marlow Briggs is a cursebreaker living in the poor part of the city. She and her mother used to live in the rich part and she even went to school with the elite who will be the next generation power. When she is hired by Adrius, one of those elite, to break a curse that was placed on him she has to pretend to be in a relationship with him to do it. While she is back in the city she uses the opportunity to search for her mother who disappeared a year ago without a trace. But there are powers Marlow couldn’t have imagined and the loner she and Adrius pretend to be together the more danger she seems to stumble into. But they don’t have a lot of time to figure out who cursed Adrius and how to reverse the curse.
