Nico seems interesting. I am still very much bothered by the setup though.

The grandmother is legit missing- an elderly woman just goes missing- poof! And these two modern day teens are just like, "Ope, that's weird- let's eat cake and stare at this weird book", the excuse for not calling the cops is bad too. IRL they'd report her missing and leave out the trippy magic bs. Leah is a kid, just turned 18. She's not in school, no phone, missing grandmother... omg this doesn't make any sense.

Chapter 1: I'm enjoying the story so far. Seems very mysterious. However the author has a couple favored words, like soften or soft. And it also read rather mechanically at first. I have a feeling once this story gets rolling, the author will find her rhythm! I have faith. The grandmother also lovely, she had some good lines I highlighted.
