Oleander
by Charli Meadows
I was so excited for this book, because Cali Boy by Charli Meadows is one of my favorites. I was really into the concept and excited for Charli to write some romantasy!
This story has the fun vibes that one would expect from a magical academy (college age). The students get up to hijinks, and of course there's also a decent amount of magical action and some danger.
Charli has done a really good of building this magical world in around 300 pages, while progressing a romance and a fair bit of action. I will say there were times where magical solutions appeared that were a little too convenient. As well, there was a lot of telling instead of showing, and that resulted in me not really feeling an emotional connection between the MCs.
Overall, the story was very interesting and the MCs were lovable. I would recommend this book for people who enjoy reading about magic and Fae, especially an an academy setting.
Some Details:
Pairing: MM, Oleander & Skyler
POV: 1st Person, Dual
Tense: Present
Angst: 1.75/5
Spice Frequency: 2.25/5
Spice Level: 3/5
I received an ARC of this book; this is my honest review of it.
