Side note specific to the audiobook: this is the first audiobook I've listened to, and although I loved the narrators' emotional and funny performance, I did find it frustrating that they constantly mispronounced things, including Hafsah's name. Could really have done with someone to check pronunciations during recording.

This book was amazing and great for me! If you like some mystery a bit psychology and witchy stuff you will love this book! I’m usuall not into this genre but this book is an exception.
Also if you like the Netflix show ‚Wednesday‘ this is a great book to read because the characters and vibes are similar.

I did however like Alice, she was the main thing that kept me reading. This story was intriguing enough to keep me engaged but not really enough for me to be entertained. Some moments are simply jarring because it’s not exactly clear how characters come to the conclusions they do. The romance was rushed but not the worst thing in the world, a forgivable kind of bad, like straight people have crap romance stories so here’s a gay one to even the score slightly.
Ultimately I probably won’t read again, but I did manage to finish this book regardless of my distain for one of the central characters, the narration style is very easy to read so if you want something not exactly brilliant but enough to keep your attention a little while this is probably it.

What I didn't like:
✑ the romance felt incredibly rushed by the time it happened (not very enemies-to-loversy). To be honest, the 'I love you' scene was a little cringey.
✑ There's only so much repetition of 'she's sunshine personified!' one can stand, I was tired of reading about Lottie being so. It became incredibly annoying.
✑ The wrap up was too quick.
✑ The whole ruby possession felt boring.
Please don't harm cats to add shock value!!!
