    Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Harper UK for the ARC of this book in exchange for honest feedback.

    This book had a lot of potential but it reads like a first draft. It felt like there were so many scenes that would move the story forward but they weren’t fleshed out enough. The book is very cozy so I loved that but at times it feels like the author was writing more to meet a “vibe” than give the reader a full story.

    The FMC was also very unlikable. I think there needed to be more backstory about why she felt the way she did about Oak Haven because her attitude about being home read more “bratty” than “regretful about the past”.

    I’m giving it 2.75 stars. I definitely think the author has potential and I would probably read another book by her.

    Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book.

    I LOVED this book! Scarlett and Nate’s romance is beautiful, the mystery of magic being haywire was intriguing, the banter all throughout the book was perfectly timed and funny, and the ending was actually the most perfect idea I’ve ever read. Absolutely a fantastic book for spooky season- and outside of spooky season!
