4.5

Three words to describe this book:
Crackle. Power. Pain.

I was kind of expecting this book to be more on the gentle side, I did not expect it to rip my heart into pieces. 
Brilliant. Must read the second one. 
Content warning: (which is also kind of a spoiler)

Death of a parent.

If not for Veronica's character bugging the complete shit out of me, i would have given this book a 5 out of 5. I normally don't cry at books (especially when my suspicions were confirmed) so this one really surprised me. I already got the second book, beside me so i'm excited to read more!

It's a 3.75 - 4.0 range. More entertaining that I initially thought and will gladly read the sequel. Fantastic job from the narrator (Kristen DiMercurio). The world building/rules of the witches is simple but interesting, but I hated

the use of "reg" to speak of magicless humans 😅
