♡ Small Town
♡ Cozy Romance
♡ Spooky Rom-Com Vibes

While the setting was cozy and kinda had the vibes of Bon Temps from Sookie Stackhouse series, I just couldn’t like either of the characters.  The main relationship felt one dimensional and childish.  It lacked depth with their characters and I just couldn’t get into it.

Plot wise though, I did enjoy the idea.  It had a charming small town vibe with a light magic atmosphere.  However, I don’t know if it was because it was too fast-paced for my taste or if I just didn’t connect with any of the characters but I found the main characters so difficult to like.  Unfortunately, it just kinda fell flat for me.

Thank you to PenguinTeen for this eARC copy in exchange for a review.
