I loved this story! 
I picked this up at a local bookstore honestly because it was pretty. I glimpsed the blurb on the back, then went and looked up reviews on the apps- because that’s what we do. I saw a small number of reviews but good ratings so gave it a shot. I’m new to the indie author world because I normally go off of recommendations, and a lot from social media. 
HOLY COW I AM SO GLAD I READ THIS BOOK!!!

I loved the characters! 
Without giving away any possible spoilers, I’m sure this will be confusing. 
The coven, the new found worlds, the new found family, the side characters, the friendships, the interesting magic, the trauma, the growth, the betrayal. This FMC was not a whiny helpless thing complaining of all that had been done to her, no. She wanted answers and solutions, and to be a PART of the solution. And our MMC?! We love a shadow daddy, broody, possessive but also reluctant man. Friends who see you, and not your flaws, but love you for all you good and bad regardless, friends that believe in the good?! Oooof. 
Then the freaking BETRAYALS and twists and turns?!

I finished this book and felt ANNOYED. 
Annoyed because whaaaaat?! I didn’t see it coming.  I don’t understand why the villain did that or how this is being twisted. And I’m not annoyed at the author, let’s me clear, I’m annoyed because I loved this story and that was a heck of a well done cliffhanger and I have no idea how book 2 will go but I know I’ll love it and I need it like right now.
