This book got off to a strong start. I really enjoyed Mona’s unique magical abilities and how close she was with her aunt and family. The initial atmosphere in the bakery, even with a murder mystery kicking things off, was engaging and set high expectations. However, as the story progressed, I found some of the characters’ reactions puzzling and a bit unrealistic, especially the way Mona’s family seemed unconcerned about her whereabouts during dangerous times.

Details like Mona traveling hours alone took me out of the narrative, making it hard to stay invested. Also, Mona’s characterization fluctuated between childlike and mature in a way that didn’t always feel intentional, impacting how believable she felt as a main character. While there was potential and moments of charm, I struggled to stay connected to the story.
