It's such a magical thing to read the right book at the right time.

If you're looking to chase the high of Legends & Lattes, but add some slightly higher stakes and a dash more romance, this book could be for you.

I absolutely loved the worldbuilding, the island vibe, and the magic system. We're talking about a librarian turned runaway rogue and practicing illegal spell work to save her childhood home. It's cozy, cute, and just what I needed.

I especially loved getting to know the world with its magical creatures. I've never heard of Sarah Beth Durst before, but you can bet that I'll be checking out her other books.

The only issues I had, which is why this isn't a raving five star read, were petty. I didn't even really care that there were a bunch of discoveries of convenience (things popping up just as you happened to need them) and the romance felt like Disney created it. The book was just so well written and the vibes were amazing.

Solid four star read and since I borrowed the library's copy, I will be purchasing one for my own shelves.

Pro tip: make sure you have plenty of baked goods with you while you read. You'll thank me later.
