I think this was a wrong place wrong time book. I wanted to love this book, but i really struggled to feel connected to the story. This book was very different from book 1 and felt very different and i struggled to feel connected to the characters. I want to give this book a second shot before i make my final review.

So this was def a fun action and adventure story. I really enjoyed how very different was from the first book and how it handled such diffeeren topics. i also felt like it was quick read once i ot into it. i do think this would be a better reading expericne if you read them back to back but a really fun series espcially if you are looking to fill a percy jackson void!

I though this book was really cute. I loved the characeters and how they both had clear motivations and paths. I also loved the friends to more vibes. I also liked the small town vibes as well. It was a cute romance and i loved the puppy antics!!
