I kinda felt lost in the the ether on this one at times. I loved how we were set up for grumpy/sunshine with forced proximity. What's better than only one bed? Well, it would be a spoiler to say, but they are really close! Technomancy is new to me. There was quite a bit of technical descriptions and I appreciate the effort they took, but some of them did not enhance my understanding of the elements. I will be assuming this is a me thing, however, I would've enjoyed the book more with less of the nitty gritty. More page time given to Hollis harnessing his powers and taking us along on the discovery would have been fun! More time understanding Hollis as a whole would've been awesome. Theo was such a good soul. Who else could have a cow for a best friend? I adored how he cared for Brigid and the wee ghosties. The details that he notices about Brigid liking colder weather and such were excellent additions. I liked how he would always work things out, he just needed time to process. I wonder how Hollis would feel to know that his behavior was so cow coded? Another fun addition to the ExorSquad!
Thank you Sam Northman for this ARC. This review contains my own opinion and personal thoughts on the book.

I picked this up because I saw someone say something like âif youâre going to have a baby, youâve had a baby, or know someone having a baby check this book out!â Well, my children are grown and my first grandbaby is on the way! I figured I would vet it for my kids. Goodness do I wish I had this kind of information when I was pregnant! Iâm going to happily recommend my kids and their spouses read this book. Jen Hamilton is one of those people that I truly believe is good. To her marrow.
For all the people that are giving this a lower rating because she said pregnant people/person, get over yourself. Go refresh yourself on the Christian values you claim to stand by. As far having an issue with the term âpregnant friend,â did you pay attention you what you read?! There is a deliberate reason she uses friend and itâs not about being politically correct, however inclusivity is a delightful bonus for all our friends.
