Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a chance to read this story early for an honest review.
This book was compulsively readable. I picked it up and read it straight through. Mateo was funny, sarcastic, no-nonsense, and spontaneous. It was enjoyable to watch him as he muddled his way through helping Topher and his curse, with Ophelia at his side. Saying too much about the plot will get spoilery and I don’t want to spoil this fresh and engaging story for anyone.
I’m not sure if this is a standalone or the beginning of a series, but I would definitely tune in for the further adventures of Mateo, Ophelia, and Topher.
