This is a fun start to the series~
Our main girl, Hazel, is a weird mix of avoiding problems and facing them head on.
There's a fair bit of prejudice between the magical groups, and Hazel does harbour some of those views, some are correct, some not so much, but she's also open to changing her mind when proved incorrect.
Killian isn't the most likeable male main character. He's got a fair few negative marks against him in my assessment; it will take a fair bit of recovery to win me over (him being gorgeously handsome just doesn't cover it for me 🤣). He's just not my kind of guy...(I'm open to him winning my favour back though), but those who like the 'villain' trope probably love him. 😅 Some of his and Hazel's sassy banter was amusing, but I think that was more a love of Hazel's wit than anything Killian did.
The serial murder plot was fun to follow, definitely a lot of plot stirring.
Looking forward to reading the rest of the series!
