This was a very cute fall read. I had not heard of this author before until I just randomly came across it in my library. It gave, romance, drama and lots of cozy fall feels. Plus the main character was a witch, so that's bonus points in my eyes. I would definitely check out more of this author's work in the future.

Zuri is a runner, but sometimes you have to be to maintain balance and peace. And who can blame her after the 2 people she trusted the most violated her in the worst way. But taking that leap landed her right in the middle of her village. Surrounded by people who see her and don't play about her...and a second chance at the right one for her. The touch of magic was just enough to not make it weird and keep us curious on the extent of Zuri's powers. I'm glad Leo checked Vivian and the nerve of Zuri's ex trying to spend the block like sh#t cool.
