Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review

This book was very cute. It’s a quick read (maybe because I couldn’t put it down) and I really liked it. The whole thing takes place over a couple of days and the plot just runs so smoothly that you sort of forget that it takes place over such a short amount of time. 

The romance between Pen and Neil was amazing. It was enemies to lovers and did turn to lovers pretty quick given the time frame that the book is set in, but it didn’t feel like that. It was a decent percentage into the book when it happened, and given the fact that we kept getting insights to the history of their enemies era, I didn’t feel unhappy with it. It was so cute watching them fall in love with each other. 

The spooky plot of this book was also so good. It had enough spook to it to be good, but it was more of a cozy horror vibe that I really liked. It was something I could read at night when no one else was awake without freaking myself out. I also got really invested in the spooky plot, what the history of the castle they’re staying at was, and I basically had two plots that flowed together very nicely and kept me turning the page the whole time. 

I liked the added context of both of them being Native authors and being able to hear some information about the publishing industry that I haven’t really known about before, especially on Pen’s part. 

This book comes out this October, and I would recommend picking it up when it come out!
