A cute second chance witchy romance. I wish we’d gotten accents on the audiobook however.

I’m kind of all over the place on this one. At the beginning the power dynamics made me uncomfortable, but once we get inside Calai’s head I was charmed (especially when he comes back into the hall!). Things get real violent real quick though (not between him and Starling) and I wasn’t on board. I think it wrapped up well but it was a bit off-putting there in the middle.

The cover art had me thinking this was going to be a darker romance, but do not let it fool you: this is a small-town romance with a cinnamon bun hero and IT. IS. ADORABLE. I love a secret softie MMC and Jackson is that to a T. He’s so gone for Sadia from the jump. And Sadia is so strong and knows herself so well. I was really glad we didn’t get her agonising over Paul, and I thought the plot and the obstacles she and Jackson had to overcome were realistic and well-paced. This is going on my ‘purchase’ list because I need to revisit these two again and again.

Paranormal romance from this time period was a true delight. Takes me back to my Buffy days.

Is there anyone out there who understands people as well as Fredrik Backman? Another book where he knocks it out of the park, where I got so caught up in his perfectly real characters. I know they’ll stick with me forever.

The way I got my back up as soon as I learned Easton was a prosecutor and then this turned out to be the loveliest romance that didn’t shy away from the issues. These two are so great together but you also really see why their relationship is a struggle. One of the few hot and cold relationships where I bought every moment of it and was never annoyed. I’m quickly becoming obsessed with this series.
