A solid, low spice romance with found family and a side of paranormal. Very cute and cozy.

I didn’t hate it. But I didn’t really like it either.

It was cute but the book didn’t pick up until the last few chapters and felt rushed in the end, leaving you feeling a bit disappointed as a reader. However I loved the representation and the idea of the book.

I liked this! I didn’t realize it was fantasy but I liked the hints of fantasy melded with real world concerns. I like the characters backstories and personalities. It all worked well together to create a found family without being overly cheesy.

Hmm kinda weird. There was just sooo much going on. It felt like 3 different plots that didn't need to intermix.

The character development in general was good but the romance was undeveloped and choppy
