Witches aren't very well-liked in this universe. And Iris HATES her coworker Pike. So when she makes a curse for him, and it accidentally ends up in an owl, she must race to find the injured owl or it will wreak havoc on the entire community.

The good: I love Griffin's witchy lore and universes. She crafts really fun powers for these witches and always focuses on a connection to nature. I liked the rivals to lovers plotline as well. 

The meh: I think this was filled with characters when I wanted a little more plot. All in all, they spent a lot of time hiking and going to and from locations. Also, I kind of hated Pike, don't know why. Compared to her other books, this one fell a little bit flat. An animal dies and I was very upset about it too.

The verdict: You will like this if you like witches, animal connection powers, rivals to lovers, animals in general, nature and the PNW.
