Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this book.

I really enjoyed this book and recom to fans of the paranormal, especially witches.

Harper and Juniper are my favorite characters although all of the characters and intriguing.

I love the world Casper has created and the plot line. At a some pointbi became a bit perplexed with the characters decisions, but the plot line followed through and it all added to the story.

I recommend.

—————————

I believe that this book would be a good starter paranormal/fantasy novel for teens. While there was a lot of show don’t tell, I think the plot on its own was fun/interesting enough to keep a YA reader satisfied and wanting more. 3/5 stars

Shay Casper does a great job in writing this book, it had everything that I hoped for in the description. It worked overall in the young adult novel with characters that matched. I loved the use of magic and hope there is more in this world.

Overall this is a great book. I found it engaging for the most part but for me, some sections just fell flat of what I was expecting. Overall, this is a good book for a teen or someone who likes novels that follow the show don't tell rule.
