I enjoyed this a lot more than i expected

Initially, it took a little getting into with its slow start but once it kicked into gear I was hooked. It had everything I love in a book. Some action, some romance, a bit of attitude from the female lead... I'm really surprised by how much I enjoyed it after several failed YA Paranormal reads before this.

I cannot wait for book 2!

I was struggling with this before I put it "on hold" and after reading a few reviews of the book on here I've realised that as much I quite like zombies books--as long as they feature some romance--that this is quite lacking in that respect as the characters don't end up meeting until near the end.

As I've mentioned in other reviews I read a book for the romance aspect and it seems like this is sadly lacking.

I was surpised in the way this was set up. Though I am not all for it. It was good. There some things that is relates to romance. I would not to be hard on the rating. I think it a four star rating. It could have been more of a plot. It does have some mystery to it. It is a good book. I enjoyed it. The way she lost her husband was something new.

This was a fun book to read and it had some different twists on the typical romance. The characters were well developed and all fit together. I need to read some of the authors previous works since I loved the characters so much and apparently they are intoduced in earlier works. I would classify this as a good beach read since it is not heavy topics but it is not fluff either. It is just a well written story.

This is a light-hearted story about magic with a side interest of romance. The story and relationships in the book flow very naturally but don't expect everything to be straightforward! There are some twists and turns in this book, some that are explained and some that aren't. This book drew me in from the start and the time passed very quickly whilst I was reading it. Very enjoyable both as Young Adult and as a Paranormal. Further books in this series are now on my wish list.

Overall, this was a great read. Some parts were completely terrible while others were absolutely fantastic. I would only reread parts of this novel as certain stories are better than the others but all in all, it’s a 4 star read.

Type: Stand-alone/ multiple short stories contained in one book

Interests: Witchcraft, Short Stories, LGBTQ+, Romance, Family, Multiple POV’s.

Point of View: Multiple of different characters

Audience/ Reading Level: 14+ as there are some serious scenes that are a bit more mature.

Unpredictable storyline. (0 more)
Hooked from the start.
I picked this book up on a whim over the Christmas holidays and couldn't put it down. Not only did it have some amazing points of romance that I love it was an amazingly different from any other books I have ever read. It grips you from cover to cover.
