I had mixed feelings about this one. I always love Black witches and I really enjoyed seeing so many paranormal identities like vampires, werewolves, fae, etc. I also thought it had a good story and really good pacing. It started out good and never got boring. But what I didn’t like was the characters! I hated 2 out of 3 sisters, and the other sister I just felt very indifferent about. They were all so immature. None of them acted 25. I would’ve thought that this was a young adult novel if not for all the graphic sex scenes😂 And I didn’t care about any of the love interests/side characters either. There was also a subplot that made me uncomfortable. There were romantic feelings between one of the sisters and an immortal who she refers to as an ancestor. I REALLY hope and pray that she doesn’t mean the he is HER ancestor because I don’t care how old he is, it’s still very nasty to sleep with a descendant of his family. I hope ancestor was just used as a term of respect, similar to the word elder, and that it was not a familial romance.

I think I’ll give book 2 a chance because I like the way this book ended and would like to know where the story goes. And I’ll hope for better character development🤞🏽 Also since I liked the writing style, I will be picking up more books by the author! I already want a few of her other books👀
