I downloaded this freebie a while back and it just sat in my Kindle files. When I was searching for a Holiday read that wouldn't take too long this one fit the bill. At less than 170 pages I was done in just a couple of hours. As a start to the series this one does a good job of pulling you in. Being a YA book it's not too overloaded in high school cliches that makes this unappealing to adult readers, but it's also got just enough of that high school angst and awkwardness to appeal to the younger readers and give older ones something to relate to from their own lives.I was a bit overwhelmed with the amount of characters that are introduced. For a short read, their descriptions and relationships to our MC sometimes took a bit to think about. I like the MC, Harper. She's not whiny. She's not a brat. And she doesn't let her past issues burden her too much. Cannon does a good job of letting us hear her inner voice.I liked the supernatural elements of this book and how everything isn't overly stated and kind of left to the reader to read between the lines. It'll be interesting to see how Cannon develops the Peachvile supernatural community, lore, and secrets in future novels. I've downloaded the second book and am looking forward to reading it.
