This was fine. I liked the dynamic between the besties as they worked to dismantle a decades old curse. The magic was fine, the spooky factor was not on par with other books by this author. The writing was good. The audiobook was well done.

dont think the takeaway from this is supposed to be that magic is silly

also tristan doesnt let the only person who cares about him in his life burn to death and thats supposed to redeem him for all the other shit??? he needs professional help and monsterrat needs to find something else to be happy about other than being the only person who gets tristan.

I picked this up because it seemed to have a similar vibe to a book that I LOVE - Night Film by Marisha Pessl. It was good, but I kept expecting it to get better and it just ... didn't.
