Wicked Twist of Fate

Wicked Twist of Fate by Gina LaManna
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ahhhh where to begin in a book that ends in such a catastrophic way?

Dani is even more frustrated in her relationship at the start of this book - Matthew continues to be an almost new character, hiding things, being distant, putting the job first, etc. Primrose is the new Willa until even crazier developments pull her away. We spend a lot of time learning about a new place - the Emporium, which is a magical bar filled with potions and secrets. We dive deep into that world because of a murder and because the plot needs us to know about it. I found this book pretty frustrating if my review so far did not convey that.

With all of the parts moving around, I thought we’d feel like things are going to be wrapping up, but instead it feels messier than usual. Her older brother’s reveal also felt SUPER forced and made up for plot purposes. All the characters I’ve grown to love seem so different when I just want them to be familiar. I guess this book accomplished what it most wanted to - put us ill at ease with the coming showdown. Nobody is safe, we still don’t know who the big bad is, and very bad things are afoot.
