This book was an average read for me. I didn’t read the first book in the series, but I got all I needed from book 2. The book is about Rose, who was the Witch Prima Apparent until her sister came into power. She stepped down and is now trying to find her way in life.
I also love rescue stories as a mom to my little rescue angel.
❣️SPOILERS BELOW❣️
Rose is likable and fun. She is a troublemaker and stubborn, and she has a good heart. Her good heart comes into play when she finds two horses she thinks are being abused and goes to rescue them illegally. It gets awkward when she finds out that she was stealing them from an animal sanctuary with a vet already caring for them. Enter Damian, the half-demon with whom she had a one-night stand at the beginning of the book.
A few things come to mind that bother me about this book. The first hookup — can be removed. It plays no relevance to the plot. Second, the creation of the language (ex: bwitch = bitch + witch). I’m sorry, but that made me cringe so much. Much of the introduced language does, as well as the mention of the Jonas Brothers. Hex me, can stay. The rest, not so much.
I also feel like the story wrapped kind of abruptly. I wanted more of the sanctuary fundraiser and how Rose chose her new path. We just get told at the end about her being a Hunter in training. Honestly, it doesn’t make sense. I wish we had a better epilogue than just setting up the next book.
I liked the romance and the hex plotline. The author has a gift there; she needs to hold back a little. I like that Rose and Damian are soul mates, but it’s barely explained. Maybe in Olive’s book, we’ll see more of them like we did Violet and Linc. I don’t know.
This was a good read, if not rough around the edges. Like seriously needs a deep edit. I caught MANY mixed phrases. One thing was kitty-corner when they meant caddy-corner.
