it's rare for me to find a book whose world i wish to inhabit. THE GILDED WOLVES is just that kind of novel. everything about it leaps off the page, from the carefully constructed narrative to the wonderful cast of characters, spanning across the globe, from all walks of life. truly this is one of the most richly diverse books i've ever read.

you know how they tell you that good things come to those who wait? i never bought into this schoowhyyyyy, sabaa, whyyyyyyy???

you know how they tell you that good things come to those who wait? i never bought into this school of thought bc i'm pretty much veruca salt when it comes to books. but, holy hell, is A REAPER AT THE GATES worth it. i was immediately drawn back into this darkly dangerous world and all its amazing characters. each POV is distinct and painstakingly wrought. the action is intense, and the angst made my heart hurt for days afterward. it's smart, sexy, and gut-wrenching. exactly what you've come to expect from the brilliance of sabaa tahir.

The prose is lyrical, the atmosphere is windblown and sultry. And the boys? These are some of the most carefully wrought love interests I've read in a very long time. If you are haunted by the idea of a dark, modern fairy tale and knights in shining armor with Harleys for horses, this book is for you."...more
