Just wow! This book was so creative and unique. I was literally stuck in every moment with Iris and that ending… I need to know what happens next. The narrator was great and brought depth and dimension to the story through her voice.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/🌶️🌶️ An urban fantasy with art and alchemy elements.
It was a little slow for me to get into but I thoroughly enjoyed the quotes at the beginning of each chapter and the art piece descriptions sprinkled out as part of our fmc’s job.

A magical prism necklace that allows Iris to essentially astral project to a man she’s never met before, but yet once she actually meets him, they can’t touch without feeling pain! Not to mention he also has a matching prism of his own. While there’s definitely some spicy scenes, the romance did not take away from the plot and there was lots of magical elements throughout. Even from the beginning I was thinking “forget the finance, go for the mans that lives out in the mountains with his horse”. Hoyt, was that man! We get all the tension of a love triangle but tbh that fiancé had me so bored, I forgot his name most the time. Loved the support bestie the whole way through. But then that twist ending with a cliffhanger?! Diabolical. I can’t wait for book two and this is our reminder to not mess with magical artifacts we know nothing about lol.

3.75 stars- My favorite part of this book was the banter. The author did an incredible job developing their relationship and investing me into it. I've never read anything with a similar plot. I thought the premise with the crystals was incredibly interesting and I'm disappointed I can't finish the story, as of now, the author doesn't have a date for the next book. I tend to dislike reading incomplete series, but, this was worth the exception. I really loved Hoyt, he is absolutely everything. He's a hard working man who genuinely cares about Iris and wants her. He was kind and patient with her and didn't force her into anything she wasn't ready for. This is my first book by this author, I can only imagine book two will be so much better and I can't wait!
