This was an entertaining mystery which certainly had a twist.

There was a little bit of romance and fantasy.

Unfortunately it was spoilt in my opinion by too much unnecessary foul language.

I give this story a solid 3/5 stars. The characters were realistic and enjoyable. The character development was alright. What I felt needed work was the world-building.

This review is based on an ARC.

I'm going to start by saying that I didn't like this book. I'm still giving it three stars because the issue is not that it wasn't a good book, it's just not a book I liked. I will also say that I, personally, would not consider this an LGBT book so much. Some might say any LGBT character means the book deserves this tag, but while the book contains romantic relationships I would not consider it romance and this is the same reason I would personally not consider it LGBT.

As for the story itself, it was well written and the plot is very interesting. However, the POV jumps around a bit too much for my taste. I understand what it was trying to accomplish but some of them just seemed unnecessary and ill-timed. I also think the last chapter is completely unneeded and that the book would be better off without it.

I do think there were some good points in the story and the plot itself is good. It was difficult for me to decide what rating to give it considering my personal dislike but I tried.
