thank you to Margaret K. McElderry Books and NetGalley for this e-arc in exchanged for this honest review!

if you love supernatural, a good girls guide to murder, truly devious, blood and moonlight, the chilling adventures of sabrina, or wednesday, you will adore love at second sight!!

this follows out main character Cam who has been human all his life. he’s starting his sophomore year of high school and is finally back in the same school as his best friend, again, who, much to his parents dismay, happens to be a witch. on his first day, he’s at the wrong place, at the wrong time and gets caught up in a fight between the werewolves and sprites. Cam suddenly passes out and has what he thinks is terrible nightmare of a girl being violently attacked, potentially a murder. when he comes to, he finds out it was not a nightmare but a vision of the future.

with his new clairvoyant abilities comes a new found friend group. a witch, a werewolf, who happens to be Cam’s long time crush, a medium, a sprite and a human. with the help of his friends, Cam decides to try to save the girl from his vision, while also trying to be a regular teenager, come to terms with his new abilities, date, meet with all the paranormal fractions and deal with his not so thrilled parents.

i love this so so much!! this was spooky and so fun! i loved all the characters in Cam’s friend group so much!! the found family in this book was so good. i loved that all of his friends rally around Cam to help guide him and to support him, no matter what. the murder mystery investigation was so good! it had so many twists and turns!

this reminded me so much of an episode of supernatural meets a good girls guide to murder and i ate it up! this was so much fun and i highly recommend it!! i would honestly read a whole series about these characters! i adored them so much!!
