5.0

I read Bewitched and immediately stepped into this, and the momentum was strong.  I must also give credit, this is one of the few (but very highly appreciated) books that has a "the road so far" summary at the beginning of the book.  Let's all take a moment to appreciate authors who recognize that sometimes their readers need a reminder of what happened in the previous book!

This second installment continued to build on what happened in the first book.  Everything turned up a level - the angst, the longing, the plot, the "I feel like something is sketchy here...." vibes.  I read this entire book in 24 hours, I could not put it down.  

Also, this is one of the few books I have read that uses a small amount of modern vocabulary and slang and isn't cringy.  Rather, it feels natural and in line with the characters.  It gives that feeling that this could be happening in our world, or at least it makes you wish it was.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bloom Books for a digital ARC.  All opinions are my own and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
