The first thing that always captures me in Rachel Griffin’s book is her beautiful, prose-like writing. I write down so many quotes from her books and love looking back over them to read over and over again. I wish I had read this book before her others so that I could give a good comparison of her debut and the growth of her writing but I honestly kept forgetting this was her first book, it was that well-written. The atmosphere was amazing, all of the descriptions had me smelling and seeing everything as if it was in my own living room. Her magic system was one of the easiest I’ve ever read, not confusing at all and so well fleshed out. I loved the romance, even though it felt a little juvenile at times, it more than made up for it throughout the book. My favorite part of this entire book was the quotes at the beginning of every chapter and how they tied into something specific within that chapter. I also loved how the quotes tied up in a huge way at the end. I’m really sad this book is just a standalone, I need more from the two characters and I want to see more of Clara’s personal growth as an Ever witch.

If you’re looking for a book that will give you all the cozy, fall, witchy vibes this is definitely one to pick up. I will be thinking about this book and rereading this book for many years now.

Thank you to Sourcebooks Fire for the copy to review.
