This gave me such strong dramione vibes in the best ways (3.5 stars)
Love love loved the characters/relationship/dynamic, once I got past the first 15%, I read the rest in like two days but my god did I spend most of this book going back a few pages to check I hadn’t missed something because I never knew when I wasn’t meant to know something yet or not. The golden rule is show not tell but somehow this book had too much and too little of both??
But the vibes were immaculate, I really did love this read and I will 100% be reading the next book and keeping an eye on what else this author writes, just think it needed a little extra editing (also the British characters saying “cellphone” made me really unreasonably angry

Good book!! Loved how magical and mysterious it was with so many twists that kept me turning pages. I came to really care about all of the characters and was interested in the story overall. Excited for book 2!

I loved this. Some things would have been I little more thought out and I sometimes lost track of who was talking but it was so cozy and I will read more if the author keeps writing!
