![]() ![]() By the end, as layer after layer was unraveled, I desperately wanted more motivation, introspection, and history on our characters. ![]() ![]() And, somehow, Whitecroft wriggled in a romance with characters carrying some serious baggage. Breathlessly, the book shot from kidnapping suspense to a cult mystery to a supernatural revelation. I clearly needed an extra hundred pages to appreciate All The Plot.Īnd whoooo boy there was a lot of plot. The dialogue flowed so easily from one topic to the other that I almost didn’t mind the condensed history of cults packed alongside the mommy issues that both characters had… until I was at the 85% mark and realized, holy crap, this book was going to end and I had so many questions remaining. Whitecroft’s prose is addicting, easy to consume, and littered with snarky asides or snicker-worthy jokes. Not only is there romance, but you get a mystery, crime and suspense, an evil billionaire, the supernatural, and even some nice historical padding. You’ve lost your socks, there’s a house barreling toward you on the other side of the cyclone, and you can sorta see where you’re going… until the wind decides differently, of course. Arcane by Jess Whitecroft is a bit like being caught in a tornado. ![]()
