Though the book appears to be a part of a series, it is a standalone piece. Each book in the series is written by a different author with the Witches Academy in the backdrop. I've read only this one.
The storyline is engaging, and so is the narration. The characters could have been a little more developed, but at least they weren't cardboard cuttings.
It was a fun and engaging read, and I'd definitely like to read more books with the same lead characters. They have the potential to carry a series on their shoulders.
The book has a few typos. Nothing another round of proofreading won't solve.
Overall, it's a lighthearted paranormal cozy mystery.
