This was such a fun read! I had no expectations going in because I'd never heard of this series or the author before, but I had a blast! There are great found-family vibes in here, and the magic was a fun addition to the romance. I liked Lou and Declan a lot, felt they had really good chemistry. Once it gets going, their relationship goes from 0 to 60 real quick, but it felt earned/didn't really bother me personally. I just love witch-meets-werewolf romcoms, sue me!

If you're in the mood for a feel-good paranormal romcom with some relatively high-pressure stakes re: old demons resurfacing, I'd highly recommend it. Already placed a hold on book 2 because I just wanna stay near this merry group of misfits.

I especially recommend listening to the audiobook, as it is duet-narrated, even within the other POV's chapters. Such an immersive experience!

Unique!

I read so much witchy romance that sometimes it's hard to parse one from another but this one was truly unique!

I loved every bit of it

Genuinely so torn over my rating for this one! When I started it I was so invested I loved Lou’s character and her job as a magical vet tech was instantly interesting to me. And i loved Declan’s opening with leaving Seattle after his girlfriend got with his sister. But then… it just fizzled out for me. I can’t really pin point what felt off, maybe the pacing? But i was super bummed because it seemed so promising in the beginning. Could see this being a fun October read so maybe will try the next book in the fall :)
