It has magic, a spell that went a little unplanned, a tether between enemies, banter, an adventure and a lot of cozy feelings. 

The character development of both Leo and Grimm was so well done. This is an incredibly well done debut and I look forward to reading more from Maiga.

I’m invested in the sequel. 

Lots of twists and mystery/intrigue. The power of friendship. Drinking our feelings etc.

It’s a really charming sweet story about two boys who are unwillingly tied together by a curse and have to figure out how to get past their enmity to solve their problems, especially since the curse is determined to solve it for them. 

I hope the author gives us more with these two because it is really nicely paced for a high school enemies to lovers escalation, and I feel like the intended follow up books would do a similarly good job of building the romance up. Also the tension of the plot was fun and engaging, and the threads felt well woven in so that nothing felt unsupported even if I wasn’t expecting the turn.
