Review:

This was not up my alley. For some reason, I just couldn’t get into the story. Maybe it was too slow or too witchy, but whatever it was, it made it very hard for me to engage with the story. I did like the artwork, and as always, I love queer love. I think it was mostly the magic part of it that just didn’t interest me. I have gotten out of that genre and haven’t found a way back in. Interesting book, but not my favorite.

Trigger Warnings:
Talk of Abusive Parental Figures, Captivity, and Loss of Loved Ones in the Past

Synopsis From Book:

A story of love and demons, family and witchcraft. Nova Huang knows more about magic than your average teen witch. She works at her grandmothers' bookshop, where she helps them loan out spell books and investigate any supernatural occurrences in their New England town. One fateful night, she follows reports of a white wolf into the woods, and she comes across the unexpected: her childhood crush, Tam Lang, battling a horse demon in the woods. As a werewolf, Tam has been wandering from place to place for years, unable to call any town home. Pursued by dark forces eager to claim the magic of wolves and out of options, Tam turns to Nova for help. Their latent feelings are rekindled against the backdrop of witchcraft, untested magic, occult rituals, and family ties both new and old in this enchanting tale of self-discovery.
