This is the second Kathryn Moon book I've read, and I like this one a lot more. I still enjoyed the other one, but I liked the characters in this book more. The romance aspect also felt more fleshed out in this book, and there was more of an overall plot. 

I liked how the two plots were intertwined well. The plot of Joanna discovering more about herself, the romance/connection to Aiden, Callum, and Isaac, as well as the thing haunting the campus are all connected and get resolved together. I also really loved that this is a world that is very queer normative. People's sexuality is never addressed or mentioned. The fact that three male witches are in a coven together, and add a woman is only a big deal because they'd been a three person coven for 10 years. The other coven we see has a mix of male and female and one non-binary person, it's talked about in a very casual way.

The spice was well written, and were never out of place the way it can sometimes be. I am intrigued by the different types of magic introduced. Musical magic, writing magic, and color magic. I look forward to the other kinds of magic this series has to offer.
