These are my honest thoughts in exchange for the ARC I received. Thank you, Monica and PR Valentine, for the opportunity! 

Monica brings us back to Lancaster Prep with Rowan, Crew and Wren's middle child, stealing the show as a high school football star who’s secretly head over heels for Arabella—nicknamed Bells, just like me (cue squeals)! From page one, it’s obvious Rowan’s already whipped, though he’d never admit it, because typical Lancaster boy 😮‍💨. Their chemistry? Absolute perfection. I was grinning like a love-drunk fool from start to finish. Bells is such a relatable queen it hurts—I just wanted to hug her and remind her, “You matter, honey!” She’s also bold, fierce, and 100% vixen energy. Seeing Crew and Wren again (forever my fave Lancaster couple!) was a treat, and let’s just say, this book had me gasping, giggling, and ready to slay some monsters. Shocked to admit I loved this more than Willow’s story—every twist hit perfectly! Monica, thank you for not just listening to feedback but creating a story that’s pure magic.
