I enjoyed this story for the most part. It was interesting and I liked the witch topic. The writing was good and it moved at a nice pace. The only thing I didn't like was that the male/male relationship really took me by surprise. I'm all for love, but this just wasn't my cup of tea. I wish there would have been some kind of warning about it, or that it were labeled differently. Maybe I just overlooked it on accident. Overall it was a good story.

A quick supernatural read that does well with paralleling contradicting abilities to fully fuse two halves of oneself into a deeper more meaningful whole.

This book take off right from the beginning into a world of magic and the internal struggle that is blooming to the surface as our main character tries to come to terms with who he is and how to handle that change while also allowing himself to be happy with the boy he loves.

It’s an interesting set up and offers a snapshot into a world that has many possibilities for expansion it’s almost sad that it’s a bit of a novella in length because I would have loved to see this story play out longer to not only see more of the main story, but also go deeper into the connections and relationships in the coven as well as Ryder’s family and their gifts.
