Within These Wicked Walls: the must-read Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick

Product Information

Andromeda is nothing like that. She’s a strong female character—without the air quotes—who’s lived a hard life on the streets and learned to close herself off to survive. It’s not just that she feels misunderstood or out of place—no, she’s seen real horrors. So, when she steps into Magnus’ home, she’s only looking to do a job so she can, hopefully, get a patronage.

Raised by a man named Jember, who Andi considers to be her father, she was thus trained by one of the best.

Yes, but she’s seen war,” he said, pointing to my scar. I fought the urge to cover it with my hand.

But material possessions, especially too much money, seemed to be the worst offender. Most of the clients Jember and I saw were people who insisted on having too many nice things in their house. Or, in the case of the man I was on my way to see, more money than any one human should be allowed to possess. I looked like a homely, misshapen doll. But at least I didn’t look homeless. The last thing I wanted was Mr. Rochester to know he’d pulled me directly from the street. In spite of everything, she had such a capacity to give love and I wanted that for her. With this being said, the relationship between Andi and Magnus does tread a bit into Instalove territory; so, if this is a problem for you, you've been forewarned. As we’ve moved from the damsel in distress storylines for female characters, we charged full steam ahead into the territory of the “strong female character.” My problem with this characteristic is that some writers tend to create a female character with masculine traits and call it a day. Just change their name, and they could be a man. Oftentimes, these women are emotionless automatons that don’t feel, they just act (or react). When a handsome heir named Magnus reaches out to hire her, she takes the job without question. Never mind that he’s rude and eccentric, that the contract comes with outlandish rules, and that the many previous debteras had quit before her. If Andromeda wants to earn a living, she has no choice.POP SUGAR, "The 55 Best New Books of October" and "11 New YA Books You Won't Want to Miss This October" Magnus is your typical ya rich brat who’s inheriting his rich fathers money. Yeah... LIKE LITERALLY YOUR TOKEN YA love interest. And god the interactions were cringey. The dialogue in terms of how he flirts. Idk why im critical of this but it just urked me so much. Whenever Magnus is present its just an embarrassment HOW COULD THIS BOOK GO SO WRONG WITH THIS ONE THING??? Pretty much the banter was horrible and that one scene when they first kiss was so... uncomfortable to read about??? Yikes 😬. The chemistry between Andromeda and Magnus is undeniable and the rising stakes as mysteries unravel and the Evil Eye unleashes its wrath, make their relationship worth rooting for.

Oh.. the more I explore the knowledge about "Debtera" and this "Buda" evil eyes made me gone crazy! xD Won't tell y'anything more! *Beeeeeeeeeeep*When a handsome young heir named Magnus Rorschach reaches out to hire her, she takes the job without question. Never mind that he’s rude and demanding and eccentric, that the contract comes with a number of outlandish rules… and that almost a dozen debtera had quit before her. If Andromeda wants to earn a living, she has no choice. I didn't feel the chemistry between Andri and Magnus, and it all felt all of a sudden. To be honest, I'd prefer if the story was without it. Andromeda is a debtera―an exorcist hired to cleanse households of the Evil Eye. She would be hired, that is, if her mentor hadn’t thrown her out before she could earn her license. Now her only hope of steady work is to find a Patron―a rich, well-connected individual who will vouch for her abilities.
