This book has probably ruined all my future reading in 2024—I can feel the slump coming. I loved everything about the story, the writing, and the characters; it strikes an expert balance of dark and funny, making it a perfect little cozy horror/fantasy novel.

Cordelia's mother, the sorceress, is not going to let anything get in between her and marrying a rich man, the Squire, but his sister is like, 'oh heck nah,' this B is cray cray. So, we follow Cordelia and her newly acquired crew of middle-aged friends as they attempt to thwart her mother's sinister plans.

Hester and Richard are the legit cutest; I loved their awkward second-chance romance side story. Honestly, if anyone is saying anything bad about this book ima fight them. There's something for everyone; coming of age, ax murders, a demon horse, body snatching, guard geese, fake engagements, magic...I mean, what else do you want?
