I loved this series o gave it a chance and fell in love with Ava and Connor, well written, narration on point and I feel this series should be know. It was beautiful. Believe in Magic.

Heartbreaking, heartwarming

I absolutely loved this second book in the duet. I was completely invested and immersed into the audiobook. But I did have a give myself breaks from it. That's not something I usually do, but my heart was breaking for all the characters. My anxiety went through the roof and I couldn't stop thinking about the storyline or characters. So worth relistening to! This one will stick with me for awhile.

“I want to get lost in your magic.”

This conclusion was so healing and beautiful, and once again both the author and the narrators did such an amazing job with the story and all the emotions it involved.

So much happens in this story... Here we see Ava and Connor trying to navigate their feelings towards each other again, and wanting to be in each other's lives even if just as friends. We see Connor confront what happened with his mom and the fact that he does, in fact, remember every single detail of it. We also see Connor help Miss D with her trauma, and it was lovely to see how just approaching things differently can help so much with the healing process, both physically and mentally.

But this story is still not all sunshines and rainbows. Ava and her brother also struggle with Miss D and everything that's going on with them, and later we find out that, one of the people they trusted the most was actually working against them for his own gain.

Honestly, I could go on forever talking about this story because it's just like I said, so beautiful and healing. And I absolutely loved that the end game was everything Connor wanted, and more.

Quote: “She was my first everything, and I want her—no, I need her—to be my last everything. I need her to be beside me when all of this is over and everything ends, because she is my end game, Austin. My forever.”
