This is a very cute graphic novel that does a good job at showing/discussing grief, especially from a children's perspective.

This was a perfect fall-themed graphic novel for the fall season. I loved the sense of adventure and inclusion of so many beloved fall activities and foods.

This was a really good sequel to These Witches Don't Burn. I really liked how the problem was taken to a large scale and felt that it was a realistic jump to take. I also really appreciated that the author didn't hold back on characters having bad things happen to them - there were some really good twists and surprises.

I really enjoyed this book! It is a great YA witchy read for the fall season. There's a great mix of mystery, light romance, and supernatural/fantasy elements in this read.

I LOVED everything about this book: the characters, the magic systems used, the cliffhanger. I'm so excited for this series.

Honestly, I was a bit disappointed by this one. I feel like I would have enjoyed it more had the romance been taken out and we just focused on the mysteries surrounding Callie and Trevor's grandfather. The romance between Trevor and Natalie felt a little bit problematic and didn't make me enjoy them and their place in the story.

A very different type of Nicholas Sparks book - I really enjoy this one for the thriller/mystery elements incorporated into this one. Although, I don't feel like the romance is at the same level as other Sparks books.

I loved this retelling of Cinderella in a fun, Bachelor franchise-esque story. There is nothing I would change about it - Cindy is such a lovable character, the romance is central to the story but not the only thing going on, and the ending was perfection! I would love to see a film adaptation of this and think it would very much rival the other Cinderella inspired movies.
