Background: Emma and Jason have been friends, best friends, since they were kids. Now they are in college, single at the same time, and it is Emma's birthday. It just so happens that Jason has showed up to give her a very special and magical day.Review: This was a very cute novella, only about 100 pages long so it was a quick and easy read. Emma and Jason are adorable together, all embarrassing moments and tension. The story was cute too, it is Valentine's Day and they must figure out who is trying to make a love potion; only before today, Emma didn't even know magical creatures and love spells existed.I enjoyed the back and forth and tension of Emma and Jason, and found the magical elements intriguing and fantastical. The chapters are set up in a back and forth between Emma's and Jason's point of views which I loved, no need to question their motives, because as a reader you knew them all, and at times it made to story even more quirky.I did have some issue though, Emma is very quick to believe in some pretty outrageous things, without freaking out. I was bothered by it, but at the same time thought it was part show of the character to be closer with Jason... not sure.. this is only #1 in a series, so there may be more to tell, and I do believe there is. Cannot wait to see more from this writer.
