It took FOREVER for me to finally read this beauty but my god when I did I fell head over heels with Lou 😍 Witches, magic, mystery and a LOTTTT of sass and snarkiness? YOU'RE RIGHT! THAT'S TOTALLY UP MY ALLEY 😆❤ Lou is a witch and a sarcastic QUEEN 😂 Reid is an enforcement officer for the Christian ruling authority... Whom obviously despise witches... In a strange twist of events the two ends up married to avoid controversy at the hands of a run in that Lou schemed to make him look bad and get herself to safety... Even if it slightly back fired 😂 The ensuing story follows both characters on their adventures together and separately and with plenty of action and hilarity (I LOVE THE HUMOR IN THIS!) I found myself captivated 😍 It take a little while to build into a story I was actually heavily invested in and I was kind of just casually enjoying it but the minute both Lou and Reid's worlds and clashing upbringings and socio-political thoughts came into play I was enamored 😍 Because I took so long to read it means I only had to wait a few kinda for the sequel! WOOHOOO 😂😂😂 With a certain plot twist at the end I'm SOOO excited for Blood and Honey and as soon as @bellusoddities announced she was doing a drinkware package and mini box for this... Well lets say she's actually the reason I read this book cause I loved the design of her cup (SWIPE TO SEE) so I read the book... Finished it VERY quickly and then upgraded my order immediately 😂😂😂😂 cause I need as much merch as possible for this wonderful series 💫 Sales have closed for the Serpent and Dove drinkware package (I was ranting about it in my stories when it was on sale! 🙈) but it's almost time for the goodies to be finalized and shipped out to us so I'm LOSINGGG MY MIND 😁 Like usual if you ever did LOVEVa drinkware package design Bellusoddities often allows for the design to be recreated as a custom! So if you haven't read the book yet and missed out on the sale period you don't have to miss out completely! 😍😍😍 . . . . . . . . . . . . . #bellusoddities #bellodians #cupcrew #cuppers #shelbymahurin #serpentanddove #bloodandhoney #witches #fantasy #fantasybooks (at Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDFcG_ugpVO/?igshid=1qkcwyv3qx767
