This book had the potential, and I really really liked the plot. It was unique but the execution was awful. I'm actually sad that I did not like it this much, especially since Ansel is my new found boy. It was also lacking in terms of Lou's magic, I know she's hiding, but I wanted to see more of her witch side. Aside from that, the book is way too long, I would have loved it if it were shorter. I still think that I would read the next books, and I just truly hope it gets better.

Overall a nice story, but it lacked some depth and world building in the beginning of the story. I also had to reread paragraphs to understand the story. And also the end was

a bit anticlimactic.
