Quick fun read
Completed in one day

This was a nice take on an enemy to lovers scenario that had a few twists that broke your typical ya vibes.

I loved the fact there was no slut shamming and the lgbtq+ aspects that were brought in

I could really appreciate the mc coming to terms with trying to figure out what she wants in a relationship and to me this had good insight to what transitions people go through leaving high school and entering college.

As much as this was a romanced based book I kind of felt that the last two chapters were very flat and somewhat unnecessary.

I think if they had left the mcs as they were prior to the last two chapters I would have been a bit more satisfied.

I think if we could have seen the mc grow without the love interest would have made it a bit more unique

Or if the character development further progressed I may have thought differently about the two staying separate.

But this was still an amazing book on its own and I look forward to reading more in the series.

Kudos

i gotta say, this book has been given so many good reviews, i was super hyped. unfortunately, although it was a worthwhile read, i was kindaverymuch let down. the lack of diversity was a start; it was incredibly off-putting. of the 4 mains, only one was a POC, two of the others were your classic blonde hair, light-eyed perfect TV show type high schoolers. and i know that may have been a bit deliberate, but,,,,, cmon. the fact that one of the characters was queer was more of a plot point as opposed to actual rep. another con is that the characters seemed incredibly flat, especially at the beginning. if i'm gonna spend 300 pages reading about these characters, i wanna enjoy them

so pros. THis was definitely an intriguing read. although slightly predictable, it still sometimes left you guessing as to why something happened. that romance got me screaming, we stan an enemies to friends-in-a-situation to friends to lovers.

so yeah, i truly did enjoy this book, even though it doesnt look like it. it was a good read, and maybe i'll pick it up again? who knows.

Kudos

I know who I really am. But if my coven finds out, they’ll hunt me down until I’m erased from history.

Seth, the arrogant demon hunter, is dangerously close to knowing too much. If that prick gets anywhere near one of my demons, there will be Hell to pay. Unfortunately, he’s also the one teaching me shadow magic.

Secrets hide in the shadows. And some secrets should never be known. But I won’t stop looking for who killed my birth mother. If I must face trauma from my previous lives, so be it.

I have my lovers. I have my coven. But I still need answers.

I really enjoy Crystals approach to demons and angels, heaven and hell! Her character development is so good and she writes her sex scenes making you want more without it overpowering the story! This is the 3rd book and i flew through it! Her style has such a nice flow from one book to another!

I'm lookin forward to seeing where things go from here now the 4 are about to become 5 while contending with the witches hunting them!!
