Cute and fluffy (literally at some points lol) this was absolutely an adorable little romance with a hint of spice. Witch x demon but he falls first and is head over heels for her. See below for a list of shmexy warnings. Definitely a good read for those who love autumn and all the pumpkin-related things that come with it!

This was definitely a sweet read that was a nice break from my dark romance reads. I enjoyed the low angst and lack of miscommunication trope. I am for sure going to add Luna and Zain's book to my tbr.

This is the perfect book for someone wanting a cozy fall/Halloween themed fantasy read that has a good amount of romance and spice with not a lot of big world building/plot going on. Obviously there is a plot, but it's not like Game of Thrones level plot it's very straight forward and simple. Only reason I took a star off was cause I kinda started losing interest since Halloween passed and I didn't get a chance to finish before then, but this is a great option if you want a quick cozy romantasy from kindleunlimited.

I read this for Halloween 2023 and thought it was absolutely adorable, so of course I had to try the audiobook version this year (Halloween 2024). And I have to say, I loved the audiobook just as much. 

I will say that the writing is pretty simplistic. It’s not a literary masterpiece. And it doesn’t have to be. It’s kind of like what I would imagine an adult version of the Disney Halloweentown movies might be like. It’s cute and fun and a little bit spicy, and I enjoyed every single second of it.

This was such a CUTE book! I absolutely loved it. From start to finish I had the hugest smile on my face as I was reading. It gave me Halloweentown vibes mixed with smutty goodness. Definitely my type of read!

From the moment this book begins, Jennifer Chipman does such a great job at setting up the cutest lil spooky town vibes ever. I loved getting to know Willow, the town, its inhabitants, and how everything was run there. Hearing that Willow and her sister owned a little witch themed coffee shop with pumpkin flavored everything, hearing about the witches’ levitating powers, and how they get matched with their familiars was SO CUTE. Like I genuinely was making a lil sad pouty face as I read because I could not get over the utter cuteness of it all. It just made me feel so sucked into the book and into the spooky world of it all. It really is the perfect lil read for spooky time!

Getting to see Willow interact with Damien while he was in cat form was also adorable. I loved seeing how they were able to feel that bond with each other, even when he was still a cat. It was clear that they were meant to be together in some capacity early on, even as her possible familiar.

Then once Willow helped Damien return to his main form, it was incredible to see that connection between them get even deeper. I loved seeing how protective that Damien became of Willow, it was absolutely amazing. Damien is a 10/10 man all around. I thought the love story between them was both so heartwarming and so sexy. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing their love become so genuine and seeing the moment that they both realized they were in love. I was literally sobbing at the way Damien confessed his love to her and the sweet words that he said to her. I highlighted so many things that he said, they were just the most heartfelt words ever.

Then getting to see into the demon realm when they went there was so interesting and so much fun. I liked getting to learn more about Zain as well too, and I am very interested to see his love story with Luna in the next book! I will definitely be picking up the next book before spooky season is over!

Overall, I literally had such a fun time reading this book. I was so happy and excited to pick it up every single time that I did. I both read and listened to the audio and I just felt so immersed into the story every time that I was able to jump back into it. It truly put me in the spooky read spirit and just filled my heart with so much joy, cuteness, and appreciation. I rate this book 5/5 stars! 🌟

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.
