Nothing

I used to love Lindsay but she switched her writing style up. Stick with the romcom and I’d stay forever. This was too much like twilight for me.

The Bell of the Ball

This was my first Lindsey Kelk novel and I adored it. This is a perfect novel any time of year, but extra perfect during the fall witchy harvest season. I was obsessed with The Witching Hour, and this gave me very similar vibes in a YA lens. I recently met Lindsey at a signing, and it made me love her even more and want to read more from her. The second book in this series is coming out soon so I'm ready! The audiobook was very well done. I recommend reading this in any and every format you can get your hands on. Locked Library also has a stellar special edition and have announced they will be doing the second for a matching set. I'm super excited!
