i was struggling with this book. i was skimming a lot just to get a gist of the plot. i wished the story with nell’s ex wasn’t touched again. mmc deserved better than ripley. 

i hadn’t been a fan of ripley since the first book. she was so inconsiderate and entitled- i was physically cringing from her. my eyes were permanently rolled. 🙄 she couldn’t control her power - so instead of practicing to maintain it, she just rejected the craft altogether. she blamed everyone else for her mistakes but herself. i’ve lost count of ripley saying that she’s not “afraid of anything” when clearly she’s scared shitless. she didn’t have a redemption arc.

This follows the second witch Ripley and her path to love and breaking the curse. Ripley walked away from magic 10 years ago, and curse or no curse she has no plans to go back. I don't really like Ripley, so I had a hard time getting through this book. I also don't care for her love interest MacAllester Booke, the whole thing didn't do it for me really. I just wanted to get it done with so I could read the third book. There was a lot more internal struggle here, and the love story was very blah to me, probably because I didn't like the characters so I had no vested interest in their romance.

I could not make myself like Riley at all. I could never see what would cause her and Mac to get together, except the magic. Thankfully I did like the other characters.

I love this series and didn’t think I could love this book more than the first, but here I am! I love the dynamic between Ripley and Mac. It was also great to see her finally accepting herself and coming closer with Nell and Mia. Can’t wait for the 3rd book in the series!
