I loved this! The end felt rushed, but it was overall a well paced story and great characters. Tony and Eli are so sweet together. If there was a sequel to this to answer some questions/give us more background on the characters it would be even better!

5.0

 Queer, trans, chronically ill, witchy types, this one has it all, and some supernatural elements too. Really fun and damn, I really wasnt expecting the story to end there, so I assume we eventually get a part 2. Thanks to Macmillan for an early review copy.
