This was awful. The FMC is locked in her room, never experiencing Halloween in her however many years, and then one night escapes. She goes to a festival or something, meets the half demon Jax and just follows him around for the night, has sex with him, and he leaves. She waits allllll year for this demon and he doesn't show up for their one time Halloween fling.
So she somehow accepts that there's a demon realm, finds a vampire, and a witch.... but doesn't know what a familiar is?! That doesn't make any sense. There's no world building. Nothing interesting happens. You can't throw out the Howl's Moving Castle and Hocus Pocus comparison and NOT deliver. Just adding "there you are, I've been looking for you," is not Howl's Moving Castle.
The FMC was stupidly obsessed with this demon she barely knew. And Jax was just cardboard. Neither had any kind of personality.

HELLO?!

This is the quintessential Halloween read -- Hocus Pocus meets Howl's Moving Castle with a little bit of the TV show Lucifer sprinkled in?

I absolutely devoured this - the fall/Halloween vibes are immaculate. It has ALL of my favorite tropes -- one (demon) horse, a ball, forbidden love. PLUS a Rhysand-esque man? I'm not kidding. This is MK Ahearn at her best.

The OCD representation is so accurate and made me feel seen. The way it's handled and woven into the storyline is STUNNING and purposeful. I genuinely have not seen OCD handled this way (and so well) and I'm so grateful to be able to see myself in a character like this.

This is the ultimate comfort read; the vibes are perfect, the stakes are low, the characters are FUN, the worlds are beautiful, the love is REAL, and BINX CODED FAMILIAR!!!

In short, this book is about overcoming your own demons while falling in love with one, stepping into your own strength, and finding family every step of the way. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
