i liked this! I will say, there’s a lot going on at once and it does get a bit jumbled and quite confusing at times.

like I’m still trying to understand the whole housekeeper thing and how it played into everything else..

this book seems like the perfect set up for the next one, so I think I’ll probably enjoy the second book more.

especially since they will already be witches, I think it’ll be more fun to learn more about these characters and their relationships

Protect Roe at all costs!!!!!

This was a good book to read in October even though this month isn’t Octobering the way it should be. 
It was fun and a little spooky (but not really) and I’m excited to get to the next one :)

I really enjoyed this. I don't always get on with YA these days but something about this made me think I'd like it and luckily my instincts were right. There were so many elements that worked for me - interesting characters, coming of age themes and witchy vibes. I thought the magic was woven into the real world in a really clever way and I'm interested in seeing what happens next. I don't think I'll get to the sequel soon but I will definitely read it.
