I loved the nature of witches and this was just as good! The descriptions are amazing and of course great characters! Hopefully there will be more coming!

this is REALLY well-written YA. i was so nervous i wouldn't like this one as much as The Nature of Witches, but boy was i wrong, and boy was i HOOKED from start to finish. i personally don't think any part of it was too cheesy, as some romance scenes were in Griffin's previous book (though i gave that one 5 stars too lol).
this author knows exactly how to write a witchy book. she knows the right amount of whimsy and magic to incorporate within a story, and you can just feel her passion for nature radiate through the pages. i loved the characters in this book, and the deeper reasonings behind their actions/opinions. i thought i would hate the reason why Pike hates witches, and i thought i would hate the fact that this story revolves around a bird. but wow was i invested in the hunt for this cursed owl until the very end. the magic systems in both of Rachel Griffin's books have been so fun to read, and i can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

If there were one word to sum this book up, it would be 'forgiveness'. It is a story that shows what can happen if we forgive ourselves, those we love, and even those we don't. It was a lovely, cosy read, and although it was tense at times, the beautiful descriptions of nature, animals and natural habitat made this the perfect non-challenging comfort read.

I really liked this book. I don’t mind reading YA books & this is more on the YA side but I still was very drawn into the story. I definitely was rooting for both the MFC & MMC. They both had great chemistry. Their banter was spot on & not cringy. It flowed. I am a fan of enemies to lovers & that’s what this book is. Plus, it has lots of animals! I just thought the ending was a bit too clique for my tastes, which is why it’s getting a 4.
