Magic in the Mountains
by Mary Warren
I received this title as an ARC in exchange for a honest review. Thank you Mary Warren for the copy!
The Good
I really loved Abe and Julie's dynamic. Abe was just so sweet and protective yet grumpy and that's one of my favorite male archetypes. I enjoyed Julie's character as well and really felt for her. I felt like her trauma and deconstruction was written really well and done with care. I cannot explain how much I loved the romance in this. It was so sweet and gentle. It made me smile and giggle. Pure teeth-rotting goodness.
The Bad
While I did enjoy Bridget's character, I kinda wish Julie and Abe's connection and Julie's magic was built up to more independently of Bridget's involvement. It felt very abrupt for her to be like "hey you guys are soulmates and you have magic!" all through exposition in one scene. I still enjoyed Julie and Abe's relationship and the paranormal aspect but I felt like that scene was strange.
