The writing isn’t amazing, but the story is pretty fun. It’s a college age Harry Potter, but darker with a little sex. I was hooked from the beginning, however I do wish there was more world building. 

Trigger warning: the boys in this story are bullies and abusive, the adults aren’t any better, and there are a lot of moments that I think could really upset some people. It should probably have come with a warning, especially as a YA Fantasy Romance sort of book. 

4 stars, I ordered the second one 👍🏼
