I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. (via Netgalley)

I liked Selene and Jules as characters and I liked them together. I feel like you got to see them both grow throughout the story as this progressed. Reverse grumpy x sunshine and one bed are always fun. Thought this was going to be more enemies to lovers (my favorite) but was probably closer to reluctant allies to lovers.

I would have liked to have seen more world building and a better explanation of how the magic worked. I felt kind of lost at times. I am also fully acknowledging as pedantic but the word bicep was used too many times imo. Once I noticed I couldn't stop lol.
