"This book was absolutely delightful! What a wonderful way to explore Lagos and Nigeria -- through the eyes of witches. The magical realism was beautifully written and positively spellbinding. I loved reading about the past lives of our lovely lady lead and absolutely adored the clash between her and our gruff, grumpy main man -- who turned out to be the greenest of flags, though it might have taken a little extra magic to get him there. Would absolutely recommend this book for anyone who wants to be transported on a journey through their next romance."
