One of the funniest things I’ve read all year! I loved this book so much and I can’t wait to read the rest!
All aboard the hype train!
Sometimes the train takes you down some bumpy tracks, but oh boy how I surely enjoyed this one! Now, I am not on the TikTok so honestly didn’t really know much about this one heading in other than it being popular. I’m wary of BookTok recs and take them all with a grain of salt, but the speed at which I consumed this one (even though a goal of mine this year is to slow down!)…I haven’t been this taken with a series opener since Ilona Andrews’ Hidden Legacy.
This had the right amount of whimsy, comedy, tension (both mystery & sexual), and intrigue, as well as the right mix of modern & fantasy for my tastes. The setting is magical and the characters delightful.
Evie is a fun lead that I found I just couldn’t not root for. Her sunshine to The Villain’s grump has a great balance and they’re well-matched leads. I look forward to seeing their relationship develop further as she keeps chipping away at his walls.
There’s definitely a lot of plot tidbits that can be called upon in further books, so I can’t wait to see which direction the next one goes!

I understood what the writer was attempting with this story and while I ADORE the concept, the writing itself just didn’t work for me. It feels very first attempt at a story that maybe shouldn’t have been published just yet? All in all, I think with more polish there’s something there.
