Honestly, I was worried when I saw this all over tiktok, if it would live up to the hype. 

It did and more! 

I’m not usually into paranormal romance and I do feel like the magical competition trope is overdone, but I really enjoyed this. Tense but funny, deeply romance and terrifying, I sped thru this book in just a few days

I will say, I felt like they jumped really quickly into “I’m supposed to be cautious/afraid of you” to “I have feelings for you” but the spice was pretty good
