Darkness Folding

by Zoe Conley 

I haven’t read the other book in this series, but this one works as a standalone told from Juliet’s POV.

I loved Juliet’s growth, she starts strong and becomes an unapologetic, empowered heroine. The story blends politics, scandal, lies, betrayal, manipulation, danger, longing, love, and secrecy. There are jaw-dropping twists, emotional highs and lows, and characters you’ll root for (and yell at).

One highlight for me was the council news breaks between chapters, which added depth and tied perfectly into the plot. And that ending, absolutely the kind that leaves you desperate for the next page. I can’t wait to see what’s next!
