Critics Review

“The secrets under Lake Argen are chilling, the hellhounds and eldritch horrors are adorable, and the romance goes from fated to bitter to sweet in an epic climax. Highly recommended.” —Library Journal (starred review)“Plenty of humor, quirky characters, a sweet romance, and minimal scares make for a cozy, satisfying read.” —Booklist“Just a fun experience from start to finish.
