5/5 for this one! This was such a good book! I immediately loved bad boy Slate and sweet innocent Cadence! The story of banished magic was great! It pulled me in and had me wanting to know more!

Holy magical relic hunting this book was good! I tore through it with wild abandon and loved every second of it. I enjoyed this read with its delightfully quaint, small town witchy lore to its well crafted characters that were decidedly gray.
