"Easily one of my favorite reads this year! Make it Caraval, but for grown-ups, where everything is darker, bloodier, spicier, and full of twists and turns. Kaylie Smith has created an absolute page-turner with their inventive games, creepy setting, and a swoony love interest that will gladly have you offering up the key to your heart."--Nisha J. Tuli, bestselling author of Trial of the Sun Queen
