2.75
Overall: 2.5 rounded to ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Readability: 📖📖📖 (I wasn’t in love with the writing)
Feels: 🦋🦋 (I was more annoyed than anything)
Emotional Depth: 💔💔💔 (It was more focused on the present actions, not a lot of character depth)
Sexual Tension: ⚡⚡⚡ (I didn’t feel much tension because the hero was with another woman throughout most of the story and I felt the majority of interactions were between the heroine and her spectral helper)
Romance: 💞💞💞
Sensuality: 💋💋💋
Sex Scene Length: 🍑🍑🍑
Steam Scale (Number of Sex Scenes): 🔥 (I didn’t take good notes but I think there’s a full scene at the end a partial before that)
Humor: Yes, this is a lighthearted story with humor
Perspective: first person only from the heroine
More character focused or plot focused? character-ish
How did the speed of the story feel? medium
When mains are first on page together: very soon into the story
Cliffhanger: No, this ends with a happily ever after
Epilogue: Yes, 6 months later
Format: listened to the audiobook from my library (hoopla)
Why I chose this book: I have this one my spooky TBR list for October but I can’t recall how I came across it...I feel like maybe on a goodreads recommended list when I was looking at other books? I was sucked in by the cover, which looked cute.
Should I read in order?
I believe this is a stand alone novel.
Basic plot:
Adelle sees her platonic roommate in an enchanted mirror and is told he is her soul mate.
Give this a try if you want:
- contemporary romance with some light paranormal magic
- Halloween vibes
- love triangle – the hero has another love interest when the heroine decides to fight for him
- roommates/friends to lovers
- camping
- shorter story
- average steam – I think there’s 1 full scene and a partial in this short story
Ages:
- didn’t catch either
First line: Taken from audio. Probably butchered.
Adelle Hendrix glanced down at the filmy peasant shirt, ruffled brown skirt, and colorful scarf tied around her waist.
My thoughts:
I just couldn’t get into this one! I think I had a bit of disconnect with the writing style. There was a lot of ‘stupid’ and ‘idiot’ and it was all from the heroine’s POV. I wasn’t in love with the way the Romani fairy godmother was depicted and the focus on her droopy boobs (though meant for humor, it just didn’t strike me as funny). The hero was with someone else most of the book which usually drives me nuts. I’m glad this was a shorter novel.
But I think others could like it – it’s light hearted, and shorter and I do hope you enjoy if you give it a go.

- the heroine was left at the alter when she found out her fiance had a wife and 3 kids (happened 4 years ago in this story)
Author content warnings? Didn’t hear any on audio
Locations of kisses/intimate scenes, safe sex aspects, consent, pregnancy/child in the story:
Safe sex: I don’t recall...I don’t think so? I’m didn’t pay close attention...
Hows the consent? It’s good
Pregnancy/children in story? (Please note this is the best to my memory/note taking. If you see something I missed please feel free to message!) No children in the story and I don’t think there’s any mention of children. No pregnancy.
There’s a bj and sex scene at the end of the book
