When it comes to this author’s work, there really isn’t much to say that anyone else hasn’t said before. Xin has proven herself to be a seasoned author who can write a cohesive story from start to finish - one that will draw you in right off the bat and leaves you breathless once it’s over. So when a new novel came out, it was a no brainer for me to start and it didn’t take me long to gobble it all up. But what I love the most is how the author doesn’t stick to one form of the genre - first it was a contemporary story with MTDW, then a historical piece with TRoX and now, she’s delving into the world of the supernatural with HMDS. It seems her range knows no bounds, but one thing remains crystal clear: she stays true to her voice and writes with a uniqueness Xin can call her own. There’s a richness to her words and her writing is almost poetic as she fills the settings with great detail, transporting you as if you were there witnessing it all yourself. The novel is shrouded in mystery - layers upon layers, waiting to be uncovered, and each chapter reveals tiny clues that you’re unable stop yourself from trying to dissect and piece the puzzles on your own. The characters are likable, especially Adeline, who despite her drawbacks in the beginning, has a will and determination that burns - you can sense a potential in her and what she can be capable of, that you can’t help but root for her success. Then there’s Elias, our sexy ML, who is just a mystery in himself. And when you have both of our leads together, their dynamic is electric and the chemistry is through the roof. Once you pick up this novel, there wouldn’t be any doubt it’ll leave you thirsting for more.
Xincerely
