Fun witchy story with a lot of aspects that were really well done.  The characters were super dynamic and individually well-developed and the vibes were on point and the audiobook reader did a great job (with only occasional odd intonations, but fantastic identifiable voices).  I did feel like their relationships with each other were not adequately fleshed out, which took the emotional punch out of the moments when internal conflicts would flare up.  Some moments would also have hit more effectively if some of the backstory had happened at the beginning (e.g., a prologue for each character) rather than after the event in questions (e.g., Iris and Logan's meeting).  There were also some really convenient details/happenstances that I felt could have been better hinted at or planted in advance.  But overall solid read.
