There's Magic Between Us by Jillian Maria
4.0
4 stars. I couldn’t stand the main character, Lydia and she never did grow on me by the end. She was too much ‘edgy, angry teen’ for me and I couldn’t deal with it. She was annoying as hell.
However, it was everything else about this book that made this a four star read for me. The plot in this was so much fun and I really loved the side characters. Particularly, Lydia’s mom, grandmother, and Eden who is the love interest. They were all great. Eden was so likable and I think she really balanced out Lydia’s brash and abrasive attitude. Their romance was really cute and had such a sweet innocence to it. They were adorable together.
The plot kept me intrigued from the moment Lydia first encounters the magical forest and it just got better from there. The writing in this was really good and it’s paced really well. There was never a dull moment for me. There were some great action scenes, I loved the mystery and myths surrounding the forest, and the family aspect in this was so well done. Everything wrapped up well and I genuinely had such a good time reading this book. It was a very fun read and I’m interested in reading more by this author.
