Set from multiple POV, twins Clement and Cristina, and Cris’ ex-friend Valentina. 

Clem and Cris are living in the shadow of their father’s death and their mother’s sickness. Until they find out that their mother isn’t sick, she’s been cursed. 

This was an interesting read full of family conflict and ✨magic✨.
I would have like a bit more of the latter though.

I did think a lot happened and sometime’s it felt a little hard to follow but I think partially that was due to the formatting on the eARC.

Overall, I really enjoyed it and I think I will definitely reread physically in future which I think I’d enjoy a lot more!

Another absolute beauty! Not that I’m surprised

TJ Klune strikes again with another incredible collection of characters. Rambo and Nurse Ratched are truly two of my favourite characters ever written, I laughed so much at all of their interaction.
I loved the plot but the characters were the biggest draw for me in this one.
