I would agree with a lot of my fellow readers. I’m a big fan of V. Castro’s other books but this one fell a bit flat for me.
I really loved the main character Maya and her sister Magdalena and wished more time was spent with both of them. Didn’t love the romance storyline which felt a bit shoehorned in and unnecessary especially with such a short book.
I wish we got a bit more background on the powers and background of the creatures and the villain as well. I think because we didn’t the story itself felt a bit oddly placed especially with the villain being revealed very early on in the book but us still not learning that much about them.
