The queen wore a high-collared black silk gown, with a hundred dark red rubies sewn into her bodice, covering her from neck to bosom. They were cut in the shape of teardrops, as if the queen were weeping blood. Cersei smiled to see her, and Sansa thought it was the sweetest and saddest smile she had ever seen.

This was supposed to be another quick one that took me a literal month of work, on and off, and over 20 hours of audiobook listened while doing it. There's something to be said about how nowadays I'm more comfortable with working on pieces for longer and just chipping away at work rather than staying up until 4 am to finish something on a rush but like. Anyway, Sansa's POV! Cersei's revenge dress! Murdered husband! Misogyny will come for us all in the end!

Commissions open!

Rating: 5/5

Book Blurb: From the New York Times–bestselling author of We Hunt the Flame comes the first book in a hotly-anticipated fantasy duology teeming with romance and revenge, led by an orphan girl willing to do whatever it takes to save her self-made kingdom.

On the streets of White Roaring, Arthie Casimir is a criminal mastermind and collector of secrets. Her prestigious tearoom transforms into an illegal bloodhouse by night, catering to the vampires feared by society. But when her establishment is threatened, Arthie is forced to strike an unlikely deal with an alluring adversary to save it—she can’t do the job alone.

Calling on some of the city’s most skilled outcasts, Arthie hatches a plan to infiltrate the sinister, glittering vampire society known as the Athereum. But not everyone in her ragtag crew is on her side, and as the truth behind the heist unfolds, Arthie finds herself in the midst of a conspiracy that will threaten the world as she knows it. Dark, action-packed, and swoonworthy, this is Hafsah Faizal better than ever.

Review:

Revenge, a deadly heists, betrayal, romance, and blood. Arthie Casimir is the owner of a tea shop... that also sells blood and she deals in secrets. She is a criminal mastermind who has created her own little kingdom in the streets of White Roaring, where vampires roam and politics are at every doorstep. Arthie is an orphan who has made herself into something more and she'll do anything to maintain her self-made kingdom. When her establishment is threatened she is forced to strike an unlikely deal with an alluring adversary to save it, and that means getting a crew together. Along for the ride is Jin, Arthie's brother ( a boy who she saved when his parents, scientists, were taken and his home was burnt down), Felicity (the adopted daughter to a wealthy lady with a talent for forging who has fallen out of grace with her mother), Matteo ( a charming and handsome half vampire who has an interest in Arthie), and Laith ( a general of the Ram, the military guards who hunt the streets, who is from Arawiya (yes this series is connected and set in the world of the Sands of Arawiya series) and wants to hunt down an artifact to kill the king of Arawiya cuz he blames him for the death of his sister). Laith comes to Arthie with a deal : they'll both steal a ledger that will destroy the Ram, the same Ram group who is threatening Arthie's business and the one Laith works for. Arthie is suspicious of Laith yet attracted to him.... and she knows she can't trust him. Arthie and her crew must find a way to make it out alive... but with the Ram hunting them down and betrayals and secrets within the group itself... who knows who will make it out alive. This is the first book in the duology and it was so good. I love Arthie so much and can't wait to see where the second one goes, especially with the way this one ended!! This is the perfect read for fans of Six of Crows or The Gilded Wolves, it's got romance, an fun crew of characters, heists, and my favorite: vampires.

*SPOILER: Arthie is actually half vampire half human, she was turned when she was sick by the doctor in her land... right as the colonizers killed and took it over. She was then taken in by Penn, an ancient vampire ruler of sorts who took her in as his own daughter. She ran away four years ago and met jin and made her own little kingdom but with this job she runs back into Penn ( he is her father figure she actually does love him) . Jin assumed his parents died in the fire but he discovers that they were taken by the Ram as the Ram were using experiments to turn vampires into war machines as they fabricated the entire events of the massacre of the Wolf of White Roaring ( in which a starved vampire went on a rampage and killed people). Felicity wanted to get back into the good graces of her mother by working with Arthie and then exposing Arthie and co to her mom so her mom would forgive her but the more time she spends with them the more she is realizing they might be her found family and that her mother really never loved her (she never betrays them but leaves her mother instead). Jin and Flick have been crushing on each other for years and finally kiss at the end of this one. Laith is from Arawiya and is hunting down the artifact his. sister was sent to retrieve by the king of Arawiya to protect the kingdom. His sister died on the boat ( he was ill at the time of the voyage). He and Arthie do kiss but he betrays Arthie as he realizes that Arthie's beloved weapon is the artifact and steals it from her while killing Penn. Arthie hunts him down and reveals that he actually killed his sister, he was sick during the voyage and got her sick and then she died. They both shoot each other and then the Wolf of White Roaring comes and takes Arthie ( I'm guessing it is Matteo as he tells her they are both alike and that they are both half vampire half human). Throughout the book Arthie is attracted to both Laith and Matteo. Arthie's little kingdom is burnt down and she has the option to rebuild it or to move on. (she hunts down laith and the book ends with her and laith both shooting each other and bleeding, and the Wolf of White Roaring coming to her).
