This book was exactly what I was looking for to put me into the spooky season mood. It was super funny and gave me all of the feels. The “Halloween” atmosphere was very much a reminder of Halloween-Town and I loved every bit of it. I felt like I was apart of the book with Rhys and Vivi enjoying a delicious piece of Mrs. Michaelson’s caramel-apple hand pies. Ending was rushed. There wasn’t really a third act breakup so much as there was just Vivi getting frustrated with Rhys, which I appreciated much more. Felt like Vivi should have gone to Rhys in the ending and been the one to make the move to Wells or something seeing as Rhys’ whole storyline was that he didn’t feel like he belonged anywhere not in Graves Glen or Wells, so it felt unrealistic to think he would have settled on either of those places, even for Vivi. Didn’t receive any closure for Rhys and his father. And Simon definitely knew about the family drama surrounding the ley-lines and Graves Glen’s conception, wish we could have explored that. All of the issues or “little fires” the curse brought were pretty easily able to be put out for a witch who never learned her powers other than to heat up her tea. Choosing to look past all of those negatives and still rate it pretty highly because the aesthetic and vibe of the book was exactly what I needed and I honestly wouldn’t mind giving this book a reread.
