I really liked a lot of the components of this book, but they never *quite* gelled for me. One thing I did appreciate was that this was a supernatural story with some genuinely gory/horror imagery, kudos for that!

I think it might have been nice if Cassie was already aware of her witchy heritage so there wasn't so much exposition. Also I thought Cassie and Seth's dynamic was sweet, but I kind of wish that he actually HAD made fun of her in high school to fit in with his new friends and either immediately or eventually regretted it. I think it would have rounded out the relationship more if he had genuine personal growth and she forgave him for making a mistake. The Big Misunderstanding is a common romance trope, which can work, but often I feel like makes the person who was hurt look paranoid and the person who did the hurting look like they're gaslighting.
