˗ˏˋ ★ REVIEW ★ ˎˊ˗
I have mixed feelings about this book but ultimately it was an entertaining read. I liked the magic and the mystery of who the hunter was. The friendships were also really nice for the most part. And the one friendship I was rightfully cautious about ended how I expected.
I wasn’t a big fan of Veronica and all the relationship drama she brought to Hannah’s life. The character development was good though with how Veronica changed by the end but she was pretty toxic at some parts of this book. The ending though really annoyed me. I know there is a second book which I’ll be reading but this ending felt too incomplete with having the witch hunter not be caught.
