I loved the first third with my whole heart.  It was autumnal and magical and sweet and I LOVE a good isolated setting (in this case, the wedding venue). Then came the sex. So. Much. Sex. I'm all for physical attraction and a good explicit jaunt, sure, but there were at least three or four too many for me. I know the whole point is that they're basically soulmates and drawn to each other and all that, but after a few, I started fastforwarding as quickly as possible to get back to actual plot. Speaking of which... I definitely saw the conflict's true nature coming, and the "treatment" and subsequent resolution were nice but nothing really special? Idk. I did like Scott and Dina as a pair. I liked their chemistry. I just... am left feeling a little underwhelmed. This is a great witchy fall read if you're looking for something fun and fast, smutty, angsty, and perfectly happy by the end.
