Thoughts:
Sky, the youngest of the Flores sisters, spent eight years
presumed dead, living like a ghost, when in reality she’d been sheltered and
kept alive by the forest. Two years after her return, she’s still trying to
find her footing, and my heart ached for her. The town treats her like an
oddity, whispering behind her back, and the cruelty she faced ticked me off. One
of her only friends is her elderly neighbor. She makes a homecooked meal for
him to share weekly and this is where she runs into Adam, his grandson, and her
former crush.
Despite a rocky first encounter, Adam turns out to be an
absolute sweetheart. I loved how fiercely he defended Sky and how gently he
helped her see that she never needed to apologize for who she was. Their
chemistry is undeniable, though once they officially get together, the romance
leans heavily into the spicy scenes. They’re steamy, no doubt, but Sky
discussing every detail with her sisters gave me a bit of the ick. Still, I
adored Adam and Sky together.
I did wish Sky’s sisters had shown her more support. I
understand they were overwhelmed by their own struggles, but it still stung on
Sky’s behalf.
Having enjoyed Sage’s and Teal’s romances, I was excited to
finally get Sky’s story, and it didn’t disappoint. Her magical ability to
communicate with animals is one of my favorite gifts in the series, and
watching her journey unfold was both enchanting and emotionally satisfying. It
was an entertaining, engrossing journey to their HEA. I’m happy with how it all
turned out.

Book Description:
After several years stuck as a ghost, Sky Flores learns to reconnect with the living again with the help of her handsome neighbor in this lush romance from the USA Today bestselling author of Witch of Wild Things.
Like her sisters, Sage and Teal, Sky Flores has a touch of magic, and it’s caused nothing but heartache. Not only did she disappear into the woods years ago and reappear with no rational explanation, she’s also more comfortable talking to animals than to people. Different and misunderstood, Sky is shunned in the small town of Cranberry.
Sky’s neighbor, Adam Noemi, has his own problems. After being laid off from a prestigious newspaper, Adam, ever the ambitious reporter, needs a big headline to redeem his career. Enter Sky, a girl with a story that news outlets have been chasing for years. Sky agrees to grant Adam an exclusive interview on one that he befriend Sky, in a very public way, to prove to everyone in Cranberry that she’s not an outcast.
As Sky shares her experiences with Adam, something much bigger than a simple agreement begins to grow between them. But for love to take root, Adam will have to take a leap towards a life that defies expectations, and Sky must open her heart – full of flora and fauna and mystical energies – to his curious mind.
