3.5 stars rounded up to 4. This book had some incredible fall vibes and I loved the first half of the book. It was so interesting to see Cassie learn about herself and her magic and I had a great time with it. I didn’t love the second part of the book, specifically the

weird mating thing between Cassie and Seth. I wouldn’t have minded it as much except it went on for sooo long. I felt like we missed out on so much plot development and world building for something that could’ve been like 1-2 chapters. Charlotte Stein does do a great job at writing those scenes though.

.  I did love the characters though. They were so sweet, and I LOVED the childhood best friends to lovers dynamic. 

Thank you so much to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
