A witch getting revenge on her coven and getting with the headmaster of the school? Hot
I feel like I may have read a different book than everyone else because this just didn't do it for me.

This book is consuming my life. I am dreaming about it. I want to read it first thing in the morning and last thing at night. It has been a long time since I have had such a passion for a book. And it is surprising because I'm finding the super sexualised content a bit cringy.
Willow, a 16-yr-old girl in a witch university for 20-yr-olds, is on a mission from her parents, or maybe just her absent father. We don't get much background but when Willow's mother dies, and the wards protecting her from detection by the Coven are lost. But they knew this day was coming and she is prepared. She has to find the magic bones from her father's family to restore her family magic which somehow requires her to seduce the Headmaster vessel (vampire). It's not made clear why the vessels have anything to do with hiding her family's magic bones or what happens once she has her father's family magic. All the while the school, which has just reopened to 13 external students after a 50-yr hiatus due to a massacre is starting to lose those students again in the same way. The Coven, run by the Covenant, are shiftier than any of the vessels and are keeping secrets that are likely getting people killed.
The cringe:
Willow makes some odd decisions in the start just to be forced to make the same decisions for a worse outcome for her later (i.e. when the Coven comes for her). She teeters from sassy, prepared 16-yr-old witch to hyper sexualised temptress at very random times. The sexualised content is almost jarring me out of the story, but I am also loving it despite how inauthentic it feels. There is just some wording that makes me cringe.
But other than that, I am 100% invested in this. I loved almost every minute. The twists and turns, the mystery, the secrets and the seduction. I breathe for this story. I just can't get enough.

When witches are going extinct and their laws have given Demons bodies, it is up to Willow and her guardian demon, Grey, to halt the extinction.

I had a lot of fun with this story but there were quite a few plot holes that I hope get answered in the other books! I loved the way Willow uses her green magic, it's really fun and creative! I hope to see more of the other witches powers in book 2. One thing that I don't paricularly care for is when the FMC comes out swinging, strong, hard headed, and bad ass and seems to loose sight of that fire because of a man. While I know Willow's story isn't over, I hope she regains some of her fire in book 2! Excited and hopeful to see what's in-store for the rest of the series!
