It was readable. The main idea for the plot was genially good but I feel like so many things made it not a great book for me. Don’t get me wrong, it had good potential but it was a miss. The writing style felt very YA for a book aimed towards adults. A lot of the story also didn’t really make sense (like, the magic system). It felt like different scenes just pieced together that didn’t make a lot of sense. The stakes of the story also felt like a let down. I don’t believe you need really big stakes in a story to make it good but I do think if you determine one it has to be executed to the end. I did like how the characters were written, I just wish they had a bit more personality. In conclusion, I will not read the sequel! But I know a lot of people like it cause it was a quick spooky read so you can always try it for yourself.

 It's a pretty average read. Not much plot, certainly no high stakes or stakes that actually hold weight long term.

It's a good book if you want an atmospheric read or something like a Disney Channel Halloween movie feel (but it's more explicit).

No third act breakup for those who care.

Not my favorite.

𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 & 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰: I started reading this book after seeing the hype of Wickedly Yours (the sequel) on bookstagram, and this one has very cozy, Halloween vibes! It reminds me of Disney Channel halloween movies…but with spice and F bombs. The story felt a little rushed, but it was on the shorter side (less than 250 pages). While it wasn’t my favorite, I do still plan to read Wickedly Yours.
