The story was compelling, and both main characters had a solid amount of development; although, I think Dana could have had more/could have ended on a solid trajectory towards change.

I wouldn't say that the characters are necessarily all that likeable? But I think that's partly the point. Even if they aren't super likeable, they are well-developed, centering around this main event that happened with Ivy's mom. The characters in both the present day and the flashbacks were fully fleshed out, and that made the book more enjoyable to me.
However, I didn't quite believe the romance. Like, it's intertwined with the magic and the mystery, but it just didn't feel believable to me. But other than that, if you enjoy witchy YA books, you'll definitely enjoy this one!
