I snagged my copy from the Owl Crate February book box, and let me tell you, the ribbon and sprayed edges added such a delightful flair to the story! It's like someone took the time to read the book and make a magical connection with the colors.
I decided to dive into this adventure with a buddy read on StoryGraph, and trust me, it's worth every page-turning moment. Picture this: a YA romanticy enemies-to-lovers type of book that'll have your heart racing and your emotions soaring!
Despite being a bit older reader, I found myself totally engrossed in the character development. Sure, sometimes YA can make my eyes roll, but it also whisked me back to my younger years in the most nostalgic way possible. Plus, the flow of the book was impeccable, with just the right length of chapters to keep me hooked.
Now, I'll admit, a few events that popped up later in the story threw me for a loop, but overall, it was an absolute joy to read.
And guess what? I'm already counting down the days until I can get my hands on book two! 😏

The main type of magic system is blood magic so they obtain blood by either cutting themselves or other people so that might be triggering for some people.m_egg_o's review against another edition
