I love Astrid, I love this story. I'm so glad I got more Delilah (because I also love her).

This story ticked all my boxes.

Nice follow up to the first book in this series. The inevitable conflict between the two main characters felt earned and not forced, like many romance novels.

Such an adorable addition to the first book in the series, which I also loved! 

I thought Meredith's character was a little caricature-y, she didn't really have a concrete personality, however, she wasn't a main character so it's understandable. 

Astrid's story was way different from Claire and Delilah's! The pacing was difference and the focus was way more on the main couple. The "coven" as they are called (which is so adorable) were much more side characters than they were in #1, so I definitely think reading these books in order is a must so you can see the friendships in the coven. The first book did a really good job of building those relationships, whereas this book just shows you that yes, they are still friends. 

I loved the interior design aspect of this book, too; hearing about the inn coming together and all its renovations, while a tiny bit confusing, was beautiful. I also think this portion could've taken a chapter from a fantasy book and included sketches! That would have been a very nice touch! I do wish I'd gotten to know Simon and especially Pru a bit more, it would've made Jordan a much more fleshed-out character. In the end she sort of started to feel a bit side-y. 
 
On the whole, this book was lovely and I can't wait to read the third (which is sitting in a newly-arrived Amazon package on my front step as we speak)!!

I had fun reading this book. It was cute and I did like it. I thought Astrid and Jordan were cute together. I didn't like it as much as the first one book.
