I find that as I get older (sob) it’s harder to keep my engagement with YA fiction (I know, I know, I’m not the target reader) but this one did it. Oliver channels JLA vibes (particularly her Lux series) as we follow a bookish/nerdy female lead who falls for the alpha bossy male teen. And I love it!
I really enjoyed the journey as Sophia turns from being book smart to being a full blown magical mage! And along with that comes the lovely Logan. I really liked their relationship (but would have enjoyed more of a build up to their bond and attraction). This had a great ending - I can’t wait for book 2 to be released!

I enjoyed watching Sophia learn about her abilities, it was nice to see her slowly relent as she learned more about herself. Can't wait to see the steam between Logan and Sophia grow!

I thought this is the perfect YA book, becoming of age and typical teenager-y read.
This took me back to when I was younger and all I ever read was YA and I loved the feel of them, they are just so light and airy, with no heavy emotions attached. This had that and then some, it was kind of like the characters were stuck in their teenage years but faced with adult decisions quicker than expected.
I loved the fast-paced storyline and character development throughout. It was very well written, it did take me a little while to get into but once my head was focused on the book, I was off and loving it.
The cliffhanger and twist at the end, I mean really Nicole, did you have to do that and make me wait!? I am super intrigued but such a great ending to a very good read.
If you like YA this book will be a great, easy read.
Thank you to @nicoleaoliverwrites for allowing me a copy of your book, I loved it and the cover is very pretty. And a huge thanks to @instabooktours for having me on your tour!

I wasn't sure when I got this book to be honest purely because I'm not a fantasy reader but I'm always wanting to try new genres and I was so surprised how much I enjoyed it

Ahhh cliffhanger! I need the next book now!
I loved the way the magic exists in the world and who has it. I also love how almost quirky Sophia is (kinda like me). Logan and Liz are great too. Sophia and Liz’s independence is super awesome especially when they put Logan in his place. I also love all the mystery and unanswered questions we have for the next book. I think a lot of this book reminded me of Hush Hush which I also really loved.
So thankful I got an ARC of this.
100% recommend this book if you love YA fantasy
