This book gave me Ella Enchanted vibes! There was crazy turns and mystery, some parts had me giggling and kicking my feet (i actually had a good chuckle at some parts!) There is no smut in this book, it's been a very, very, veryyyyy slow burn but the plot is interesting!

*eye twitching*
 If anyone (cousin included) said "hey I'm going to try to split up you and your significant other, hope your okay with that!" I would gorilla glue their toes together in their sleep because WHAT?! 
And for the MFC to just say "Yeah! I'll battle you!" 🥴🥴 (other that that this probably would have been a 3 star because it was sweet until what ever the heck that little cousin thing was....)

5.0

This is my favorite book of 2025 so far!! The main characters give a Evie & Rick from the Mummy type of vibe (to me at least in the beginning lol) mixed with Bridgerton, set in a fae world. ✨️
 I was struggling with reading recently and this book was a breath of fresh air and such a wonderful reset! I loved every moment, in fact I purposefully tried to read slower because I didn't want their story to end so soon. 😂

This book is a standalone in a series of several couples journeys in the same place and time. 

Spice: 🌶 🌶🌶/5 (It was steamy but more tasteful and not nearly as much as some books I've read lol!)

Plot: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ honestly i would give it more than 5 stars, and granted it's my review and I could but I might not stop hitting the star emoji so for the sake of self discipline, 5 out of 5 stars!! The plot was so good!
