I overall really enjoyed this book; however, the ending was a bit too much information thrown at you all at one, without a ton of processing time, and I feel like I needed more time to process the information before new information was continuously given. Otherwise, I really enjoyed this.

We are following Bree Matthews as she moves to UNC Chapel Hill for an early college program with her BFF Alice Chen. Bree wanted to do this because her mother graduated from college here. Her mother recently died and Bree has to try to come to terms with her death while moving forward with her life.

However, Bree discovers she's not an average kid anymore when she stumbles upon a demon attack. Bree gets sucked into a magical world of the Order and the Knights of the Round Table. However, there's another faction that also uses magic, but is terrified of the Order. Bree belongs to boh of these worlds after partnering up with an Order member to try and figure out why her mother died.

I cared about every character, thought it was pretty fast paced, loved the world building, and cannot wait to read more!
