I thought this was cute. Although I didn't love the relationship conflict. It felt like it was solvable and shouldn't have been a huge issue. I do love girlies in a revenge plot. And also a look at how friendships are really hard to maintain and people have to make a real effort to keep them alive, which sometimes means apologizing for being bad at it.

This book was an unexpected delight. I wasn't sure if I would like it. I liked the town, it's kinda reminded me of Halloweentown. I liked the romance between Emmy and Talia.

I thought I was going to love this book and was so excited to read along as the series progresses. Unfortunately, it didn't take long for me to realize this was not the cozy fantasy romance I was looking for. While the setting was charming at times and the spicy moments delivered as promised, the main character's motivations are weak, the relationships all feel forced and awkward, and no one seems to exist past the main character's sphere. For a book that was pitched to me as having Halloween Hallmark vibes, I feel like this missed the mark on the community aspect that makes small-town romances like this successful, and in truth, it felt more like the plot of a Sims neighborhood story than a Hallmark movie. I will also admit that I have a strong bias against characters referring to themselves and each other by their last names outside of sports media, so that certainly didn't win this book any points.

Emmy doesn't deserve the understanding of everyone around her, I see her as selfish, bitter (like me after reading this) and extremely childish. Everyone around her deserves better. Talia deserves someone who won't pick fights with her, Linden deserves someone who genuinely wants to stay best friends, Dahlia deserves the powers Emmy should of lost and her parents deserve a child who is grown enough to go to therapy and open up to them about her hatred of some boy who broke her heart 10 years ago. I agree with the founder about the powers, because they are so obviously the reason Emmy is swayed to stay and even bother giving her relationship with Dahlia a chance! I'm sorry, Emmy only stayed because she realised she would lose magic forever if she left! She doesn't deserve it, not even in the slightest

I am impressed with how much I liked this book. Although the romance is fade to black, Talia & Emmy make a cute well developed couple. Its a pseudo coming of age mixed with destiny fulfillment with a light hearted energy and some inventive insults. I’ll be on the look out for more from Lana Harper.
