Interesting but too short and jumpy. Episodes should be reserved for shows, not books. Still interesting enough that Iâ€™d consider reading the next book

This was a cute, cozy, mystery/adventure book. I really liked that it was divided into three stories. It reminded me of the show Psych but with magic. Lily and Sebastian are such a funny couple of friends, one studious and serious and the other mischievous and charming. I really enjoyed the different antics they got up to.

It was fine, I didn't hate it, but I didn't really love it either.

Love love love this! The characters are so different and unique. The proper Lily, the go with the flow Sebastian. I love their chemistry, you can feel it while reading. Their friendship is unlikely but somehow, just somehow, it works. Together they make comedy, intrigue, and plenty of trouble...which seems mostly his fault and her tagging along to save him. Which was another thing I loved! The girl is often the knight in shining armor. It's very interesting I cannot wait to read number two!
