If I could give this 10 stars, I would! I was completely immersed in this world and the cast of characters. I wish I had a sentient spider plant named Caz in my life. He was my favorite! I will buy anything from Sarah Beth Durst!

I felt like the characters needed more of a backstory to make me want to root for them. 
The narration fell flat for me and so did the plot. Yes, it is a shorter book, but it felt rushed.
