This was not for me. The writing was messy and confusing at best. Too many characters introduced too quickly and with little information. The story just didn’t work. Frankie was very annoying as a character.

I had high expectations for this novel and they were met, if not surpassed! A really great book.
This was good. The story line was good and I liked the characters alot.

I enjoyed this, what a fantastic debut!
I found the plot really compelling and absolutely loved the twist on supernatural creatures, everything coming from witches. The atmosphere gave me major True Blood vibes mixed with Shameless characters. The plot was fast paced, which I appreciate and the writing is wonderful, easy to follow, and immersive.
I just didn’t like any of the characters, not a single one! I found Ben abhorrent, Frankie too simple, and the others just a bit bland. However, chuck in a little romance subplot and I’m all yours again, even if I hated one of them!
I knew from the moment Camri pitched this book as “Twilight for dirtbags” that I was going to love it, and I was NOT disappointed. Adventure, self discovery, and snarky banter equals all of the best things! From the supernaturals to the iced coffee, Peachy is fun read that will keep you turning the pages to see what happens next.
This is an exciting, interesting and horrifying debut novel! My rating is a 3.5/5 - but I did enjoy it a lot.
I really appreciated the content/trigger warnings at the beginning of this book as well as a playlist made by the author!
Frankie is a great main character - she’s funny and I loved seeing her grow as the story progressed. I think all the characters in this book were good and well developed. Personally I wasn’t a fan of the romances though.
The writing was descriptive and although the beginning was a little slow, once it picked up it was a lot of fun! There were definitely some gross, horrible moments but I wanted to feel more scared.
Overall, it’s a great debut and beginning of a series book. I would have loved more explanations of the magic and overall more horror.
