“…but I’m okay with damnation if he’s the reason.” 

“Because you don’t get to be alone right now.” 

For a book I expected to be a light rom com about holiday royal families this was so much more. It was about the commodification and commercialization of joy and holidays, grief, and growth. 

I struggled with the exposition, it was an info dump that was a struggle. Personally, I found Hex and Coal to be a little insta-lovey but the story was so good I can mostly look past it. I also wish we got to learn more about Halloween!! 

Coal and Hex were magic and the supporting cast of characters were so fantastic! Perfect read to start off the holiday season! 

Can’t wait for the second book!
