 In the short scope of this audiobook, Alexis Daria builds an absolutely wonderful world of Latinx brujas that also never shorts the romance between Catalina & Diego. Sexy danger bangs interspersed with trying to exorcise the demon possessing the groom is so fun! Plus, the narrator is so good. 

 A solid, if overly long and repetitive small town romance set during the Fall // Halloween season on the East Coast.

I would read more from the author, but not if the same audiobook narrator narrates because the voice just sounded slightly granny to me, when these are twenty-somethings.

Also, Logan is a piece of work and needs massive therapy wow. Talk about wrecked by an embarrassing public proposal that HE ENGINEERED even knowing that he was in a troubled long-distance relationship. Dude, you brought that on yourself and you need to figure out your abandonment issues. I just found it especially a lot because it was repeated over, and over, and over again.

the pacing was also a bit off for me; lots of cock block moments where they get to kissing and get interrupted, and then no full sex scene until the very end, right before the bleak moment, and then a imo too easy forgiveness and get back together.

The entire mystery arc was so silly because it just petered out and self-solved.

maybe i'm rating too highly, but ANY WAY I did have an okay time listening and didn't stop. let's just say i'm giving a full star because he is a hero who eats, and we did get some on-page sexy times even if they were not very steamy (think a bit more explicit in words than Nora Roberts).
