Goodreads review by Mela on April 26, 2023

A promising idea (characters). Both, Emily and Fleetwood had thrilling backgrounds. But, I was disappointed I didn't enjoy it more. I am inclined to believe that the convention this time spoilt a story. It needed more pages, perhaps even a deeper (serious) approach.......more
