What. A. Gem.

Why isn’t this book talked about more?! I found it on a whim while finding bargain sales. ALL OF THE CHARACTERS OMG??

Each of them have a ✨ personality.

No one is flat.

And spice?! 👀

I wasn’t expecting caregiver trauma either. It had me bawling my eyes out. I hope everyone would read this book because 😭 Roxy and Luke will live on in my heart. The Nouvelles are all darlings. Also Sam 😡😡😡

Luke’s backstory had me in tears.

I love the childhood friends to enemies to lovers to enemies again to be lovers. THE TENSION UGHH

That cliffhanger was BRUTAL. And here I thought this was a standalone. I’ll wait until I get the next book for my full thoughts. 🥺😭🥺

Couldn't get into it. DNF at page 22. Writing felt very flat. Didn't care about the characters.

This book was so hard to put down! Loved the tension between the enemies to lovers. 🥹 THE FUNNY BANTER, THOUGH?! I laughed SOOO MUCH. I cried a lot as well. Neave and Ty were written so emotional. I’m so impressed that each character isn’t forgetful. It was well incorporated.

Killian 😡😡😡

One of my favorite indie reads of this year! It felt like I was reading a traditionally published book from the formatting.

One thing I wish was put into more was that Ty’s dad was gonna kill him, but Ty didn’t dwell on those feelings more. Also, what happened to his drug stash that he just got? Some parts made me long for more questions than answers. I would like to know Neave’s life was like with her witch friends more. I know the book would have been longer for that reason, but would have been nice to fit some pieces in.

🤣 The glowstick commentary SENT ME. I love it.

Also way 🤦🏻‍♀️ when Ty couldn’t piece together “Where’s Neave?!” I was screaming at him at the book like, TY, HELLO?! 😆 Until he got the call from Julian. Kinda wished Ty punched Killian in the face. 😫 Maybe the fanfiction in my head will satisfy that need.

Neave’s my favorite character! Ty is a close second. Third is Julian. I loved the banter between Ty and him. I always thought Killain was a bad influence.

So happy I read this book! Even though I am longing for more, I think the romance part was extremely well-paced and executed. Well done, author! I’ll be back for more of your books in the future.

DNF. It’s cute, but the romance is too rushy for me. I don’t like love at first sight 😅 I’m more of a slowburn girly.

DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS BOOK!

Pros: I loved the premise of this book. The humor—especially that one line in chapter 10—was a surprise. 🤣🤣

AND HOLY CRAP?!?!? THE TWIST?!?

I was NOT expecting that. It was so disturbingly SATISFYING. Omgggggg.

So it’s like Scary Movie meets Saw movies. I LOVE IT. Some of the language reminds me of 90s storytelling, so it made me appreciate it more. Some parts had me cackling. 💀 As a woman, I thank you. Lmao.

Cons: Some of these did knock off a star. The one that did was sometimes I couldn’t tell who was talking. There was more telling and not showing in those parts. Sometimes maid and butler language as well. A lot of punctuation errors—BUT the punctuation didn’t ruin my enjoyment for being unable to put it down. 😆 I’d love to come back to this book if it’s ever remastered with more edits, because it definitely was one of my favorite indie reads for a while!

Now what am I gonna do? It’s 1 a.m….what kinda dreams am I gonna have?! 😭🤚🏻

Edit: ON SECOND THOUGHT, I am rating 5 stars because I enjoyed it so much. 😆😆
