I absolutely adored this book! So much so I am kicking myself for not reading the first one, which I will be doing asap! I really loved how the story gave cozy & badass witchy vibes without Halloween, it truly felt whimsical yet modern instead of cheesy.

The whole story had a tasteful amount of spice while still emphasizing their love to the reader. Do I wish there was a little more spice? Of course, but it’s not a requirement, the plot was strong!

I loved Rosemary’s personality, she holds herself with such badass energy but has such kindness underneath. I think her magic and personality was tied together wonderfully, and made me want to be a Bay sister.

I wish we got slightly more deeper insight into Asher and why he left Buffalo/why he’s not talking to his mom other than a few sentences. I loved the scenes where he spoke with his sister, would have really enjoyed it if there were a few more scenes.

I admire the relationship all of the sisters have, how they support each other; questions are asked but they have little judgement towards each other and allow one another to have the space/time they need to process things. I am excited to see how their stories play out!

The past life was a whirlwind, I went from confusion, to happiness, to grief, to disgust (towards the family), then finally to pride. I admired how Rosemary’s past self handled her situation.

Ivan was annoying, obviously. I do hope that we learn more about what he goes through with the Guardians in the next book! And am excited to see how the other brother comes into play.

I love myself an epilogue, but I did wish it jumped a bit further in time so that I got more insight into how Rosemary & Asher were doing. Do they have kids? Do they get married? All things I want answers to!!

4.5⭐️ Highly recommend!
