Curses, Chaos, and Courtrooms
When the investigation into the campus love potion begins, Lukas Bristol is determined to see justice served. As an intern to the lead potions master on the case, he’s focused on one goal—seeing the person who ruined his life imprisoned. After the potion destroyed his last relationship, he’s sworn off romance for good. But staying detached isn’t easy when his path keeps crossing with Elsie Clarke.
Still reeling from the love potion attacks, Elsie is desperate to find her footing again. She isn’t looking for love, yet her pull toward Lukas is impossible to ignore. And while she works to hide the secret that could ruin their growing connection, she finds herself caught between fear and something dangerously close to hope.
As the case unfolds, Lukas and Elsie discover it runs far deeper than either of them imagined, full of twists that threaten their safety at Forrestbriar Academy. In a world where love and magic intertwine, even the strongest hearts can’t escape the pull of what’s meant to be.

3.5⭐️
This was a cute very fast paced read (I literally read this in 2 hours)
It did take me a minute to remember what occurred in the first one and who was who but once I did I was fully engaged in the story!
Would definitely recommend if you want a cute romance with a slight mystery feel!

Unfortunately this was bad lol.
So disappointing because I thought the first one was so sweet and fun, but this was almost painful towards the end.
It went on endlessly and felt like it was going on multiple directions.
It’s giving middle school FCAT essay vibes :/

This was cute but also, was not full captivating or believable in the motivation for the main characters. Ends on a cliffhanger that I suppose has me intrigued but the writing style was a bit of a turn off this time around.

I absolutely adored the first book, and though this one was interesting I didn’t love it nearly as much as the first, I found the twist to be predictable. But I did love getting to see glimpses of Henri and Noah and their thriving relationship and Lukas is the king of forehead kisses.
