"4.5⭐ I really enjoyed this book! It was such an easy read and very fast paced! Enemies to lovers, witch x witch hunter, forced marriage! Lou is so funny and sarcastic, I loved her! I also loved how sweet Reid was with her! Definitely looking forward to reading book two! 10/10 would recommend!!"

"Y’all I sobbed at the third book of this series. The friendships they form is SO STRONG, better than the love in the couple."

"This was such a fun read. It’s an enemies to lovers type of book with an interesting plot and nice twist at the end. Can’t wait to read the 2nd. "

"SUPER underrated!! So much going on with a lot of turns "

Maren McGuire

"This one is a series, but I read it as a stand alone. I thought it ended well for the characters so I was satisfied. 😅 It’s a fun story with characters that you want to root for. And Reid is definitely book boyfriend material. "

"Vague spoilers: Loved it! Banter makes you blush and cackle with a compelling storyline. It’s not like a fake enemies to lovers, they definitely start out enemies, but the switch to lovers did feel a little bit out of the blue. Still a great read that i binged and will be continuing on to the sequel tonight after finishing it a few hours ago."

"It's my trash: I am a sucker for corrupt institutions, straitlaced heroes, and religion mingling with magic. Like I said, it is my trash, but it is also my treasure."

"I thought 500 pages for an enemy to lover trope was lengthier, but the author’s writing completely enthralled me. I finished the book in less than a day, lost much needed sleep, but totally worth it. "
