Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book
I really enjoyed this book! I didn’t know much about other than what I learned from the synopsis. Within the first few chapters I was absolutely hooked!
I was expecting it to be cozy romance; which it absolutely was. However, the plot twist took me a little by surprise; it was a great addition. I will admit some of plot was a bit predictable but it absolutely did not take away from my enjoyment.
My favorite thing about this book is the diversity and representation. There’s so much of it ! And it does not seem force! I like that the author chose to include several different racial, gender, and lgbtq+ identities. All the characters were really well written and nicely flushed out. Quinn and Rhia were some of my favorite characters; mostly because I could relate to them.
If you love books about witches and romance, this is definitely the book for you!
