"This boy has upended every part of my life, set my entire existence on fire."

This book made me feel so many things. It's not often that I am pulled into a story to the point where I can smell what is being described and see each scene so clearly.
From the very first page I knew I was in for a beautiful ride.

Keywords are: YA romantasy, witchy, soft ennemis to lovers, elemental magic, duty Vs desire, angst, AAAAAAAAH SOOOO GOOOOD.

Tana Fairchild lives on the Witchery, island and home of the witches where harmonious and soft magic is being practiced. She is also the only daughter of the coven leader and her life has been planned out since the beginning: She will marry the most powerful mainlander's son to guarantee security for all the witches, after so many centuries of being seen as a threat. She takes her role with pride and honour.

But her life is turned upside down when she misses the monthly rush where all witches are supposed to drain their excess magic into the sea to avoid dying from the build-up.

Her world opens up and goes into crumble when she meets a boy, Wolfe, pretending to be from another coven, one that should have disappeared centuries ago when dark magic was still practiced. He is her only hope of survival after missing the rush.

"We surface, and Wolfe's rough voice reached me, his wet lips brushing against my ear. "Breath", he says."

I screamed, swore, I threw my kindle in frustration, gasped, blushed and giggled. I felt the peace and wilderness of the ocean and the warmth of magic. These characters haven't left me since I finished this book and Rachel Griffin's lyri al writing was absolutely perfect for the colourful universe she created.

In my top 10 favourite books of all times!
