This has been vaguely on my TBR list for awhile and then Sophi read it and started cyberbullying me about my failure to have read it, so FINE, I READ IT. I LIKED IT. I like the concept of this little Southern coven house full of psychic ladies who DGAF. I like the moody private school boys who all have SECRETS

Spoiler

such as secretly having been dead for 7 years

.

I didn't like how it did a thing a lot of YA trilogies (OR QUADRILOGIES APPARENTLY) seem to be doing, which is the ending is not a real ending?? It's just like a random pause before the next book. WHICH FINE, WORKED and made me immediately borrow [b:The Dream Thieves|17347389|The Dream Thieves (The Raven Cycle, #2)|Maggie Stiefvater|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1477103777l/17347389._SY75_.jpg|21598446]. BUT JUST BECAUSE IT WORKS DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD KEEP DOING THIS, AUTHORS/PUBLISHERS >:(

I kind of forgot that I'd read this twice before but, well, it holds up. I wanted to re-read this series after finishing [b:Call Down the Hawk|31373184|Call Down the Hawk (Dreamer, #1)|Maggie Stiefvater|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1550860945l/31373184._SY75_.jpg|52062040] but am always hesitant to spend reading time on re-reads when there are so many new books all the time aaaa! But I'd heard the audiobook was good, and though I rarely can focus on audiobooks I figured since I already knew the story it would be OK if I spaced out sometimes. Anyway, the audiobook IS great--a lot of great accent work. I burned through it, shoving aside all my usual podcasts etc to get through the book. And now on to re-read The Dream Thieves!
