So the thing about this books is that, as a Romance, I did not really vibe with it at all.

But if instead, we focus on the Magical Realism and the story surrounding the Flores family, THAT is where this book really shines. I think what makes this book most compelling is the story of the three sisters and how Sage and Teal must overcome the anger and grief of losing Sky. In my mind, the romance between Sage and Tennessee is secondary to the relationships between the sisters.

I also LOVED the ways in which their magic is explained and the lore surrounding the old gods. That was gorgeous. I also really enjoyed the themes discussing colonialism and environmentalism.

Overall, my suggestion would be to go into this book for the wonderful witchy family story (with a side helping of romance.)

I mostly read this via audiobook and while the narrator does a great job, I kept getting so annoyed anytime there were flashback scenes via AIM messages. Her having to narrate those drove me crazy. So I would recommend this book physically over the audio for that reason alone.
