I love a good witchy romance and as we end out the month of August, this book spoke to me. I really liked the premise of the book, a witch using a computer nerd friend or find her father while dealing with the grief of her Nan being terminally ill. I loved Merle as an MMC, he was understanding, supportive and steady. Liberty was also unashamedly herself and I really enjoyed that. Her found family of witch sisters were also great.

Where I struggled with this book is in how slowly the story moved forward. I also found the writing style to be a bit choppy and awkward in my opinion at times and the descriptions dragged on. I really had to work to finish the story as it did not hook me throughout. I did enjoy reading parts of this book but it’s not one I will probably go back and read again.
