Coming back from the dead in a modern world was not for the weak, being a dog on a leash, breaking away from toxic relationships, learning how to read, and realizing how much has changed.

Loved this book so much. The plot was so entertaining, the magical system mixed with modern times and mentions of past decades. Ambrose and Emery were such lovable characters. I got my preorder early and I instantly started this one. The trans rep was seriously written so well, I really enjoyed it. Some parts of this book had me on the edge of my seat with the promise of just one more chapter. The epilogue did not disappoint either.
