I had so many problems with this book. First of all, we spend more time with a terrorist group than we do even kissing, which is insane for what is supposed to be a romance. Secondly, sometimes I read a book and feel like the author doesn’t trust me. Like they think I am too stupid to follow them, so they have to repeat phrases and define things and people every time they appear. And this book was the most I have ever felt like that. Third, I just feel SOOOO deceived that this was a magic/witchy romance.

I was a fan of the Matzah Ball, I love witchy romances, I was so excited for a story inspired by Jewish folklore. Instead it felt like a catharsis project for the author that her publisher had to attempt to package for her existing audience.
