This was pretty much what I had anticipated it being. I liked all of the tension between the MCs, but they were really the only characters in the story. There were very few scenes with side characters imo.
It sort of made it feel like the main focus of the book was actually all of the sexual tension, rather than what was happening at the school. It was real light on the academia. lol 
I guess it’s just that the overall structure was a little off, but the world details were really entertaining. I liked the description of Willow’s magic, and there were some really good twists at the end.

Great story, love the witches and demon vessels... The twist at the end was great and gasp inducing. But I don't much care for the 16 year old who lost her virginity to a centuries old vessel and is in a relationship with said vessel... So heads up if that isn't for you. Also, parts of the story seemed inconsistent. I enjoyed it overall, but won't be buying a copy or rereading.

Oh wow.
Fairly short book with an ending that packs a punch many times larger than the story itself. 
Can hardly wait to get my eyes into the next book

The beginning of the book was pretty slow - I got to around 20% before Willow even made it to the school. 

It felt rushed at the end, however, the world building was pretty good. I have some unanswered questions but I assume they’ll be answered in book 2

Deliciously atmospheric with witches and demons. I’m not easily thrown off, but I was delightfully surprised by the ending. Super glad I already have the second book downloaded!
