✨ ARC REVIEW ✨
This year seems to be the year of relatable books! And I am loving every moment of it. This will likely be a comfort reread for me because it just tugged on all the right spots in my heart. It feels like such a unique book, but if I'm honest – I haven't read enough supernatural romance yet!
While this is a supernatural/witchy romance, the amazing FMC, Oakley, represents us hot mess mamas in the early months of motherhood. I've never related to a fantasy (albeit modern fantasy) character so much in my life. When I became a mom, I felt the same as Oakley: like I had lost my identity and had no clue who I was anymore, like everyone had motherhood down while I struggled, and that my body just didn't feel the same anymore. I'm so grateful to the author for creating such a relatable character.
Oakley's relationships were so well-written. Her relationship with her sister was adorable and Lynx and Saros were some absolute drool-worthy witchy men, IMHO.
