The Bewitching Hour by Ashley Poston

Go to review page

Did not finish book. Stopped at 5%.
As someone who grew up contemporaneously with Buffy Summers and the Scooby Gang, I guessed pretty early on that Ashley Poston was either not alive or very young during the 90s (turns out I was right; she was born in 1990). Maybe I would've tried to keep on after the excruciatingly cringe Boy Meets World reference, but Tara was too out of character and I just could not hang. I've read enough Buffy fic in my life that I don't need to continue this.
