If not for Veronica's character bugging the complete shit out of me, i would have given this book a 5 out of 5. I normally don't cry at books (especially when my suspicions were confirmed) so this one really surprised me. I already got the second book, beside me so i'm excited to read more!

It is an really nice book especially if you like books about witches. Furthermore it has some interesting plottwists I didn’t expected to happen. Moreover it is quite easy to get into the story and follow it along. All in all it was just an really nice book🫶

Felt like it was going to be a fast paced adventure with action, and solving the who dun it in fun YA Queer Magical setting, but unfortunately it was slow paced lacking action to drive the plot and focused on the teenage drama rather than character building and the plot

Loved this reading.  Magic and covens with sapphic riddled through out - including not only the MC’s first ex gf but also another budding potential love interest.  

Unexpected villians and betrayals left me shocked and I’m so glad I own the second as ill be reading it asap.
