Oops, I finished this over the weekend but forgot to update! I enjoyed it, but not as much as Garden Spells. Garden Spells was just pure magic, and First Frost had a strong dose of reality added in.

Amazing! Not a surprise, since I love Sarah Addison Allen. I’m so glad she returned to the Waverley family characters. It was so fun to see them grow and to learn more about Bay. It’s a shame that I read Sarah Addison Allen’s books faster than she can write them. After finishing a book, I immediately want the next one. They’re definitely worth waiting for, however! So good.
