I enjoyed this- I loved the characterisation and the sibling dynamic was great. The plot was interesting, and I liked the feel of it. A strong YA contemporary fantasy.

I had a good time reading this, but it wasn't for me. I think it was just a little too YA. But I did love the plot of the story and how badly you would save your sibling through everything.

ARC review: this book reminded me of a 90s Disney movie and I enjoyed following Aya on her journey to self-discovery. It has fantasy aspects because her sister's boyfriend is possessed by a demon. It has some romance with both sisters finding and embracing love. My favorite is their journey to self-love and self-worth in a world that seems to be against them when they have to learn their own value first. I would definitely recommend this book and there is no spice so it can be enjoyed by many ages.

Thank you to NetGalley and Briana Garrett for the ARC. This was my first introduction to the author and it didn’t disappoint! I’m looking forward to reading more from Briana Garrett.

This is a YA Romantasy with paranormal vibes (angels and demons) with a wonderfully diverse cast. I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Ayana is our main character who is a teen fashionista who also loves her sister Sabrina dearly. She’s always looking out for her, but never thought she would have to do it because Sabrina’s boyfriend, Damian, has been replaced by a shape-shifting mirror demon…and he wants her soul. Ayana is now on high alert trying to protect her sister and become a demon-slayer, while also trying to get this fashion internship. This books was so much fun and I enjoyed the journey of self-love, sisterhood and the love of family and friends.

Words cannot explain the way I loved this book! I got an ARC of this book, and once I started reading it, I could not put it down! This Book has everything: a Black YA romantasy book with a fashionista FMC, a guardian angel and a demon, as well as great sisterly bonds.

Ayana's fears as a young Black girl in the world were relatable, but she overcame them with the love of her family and friends and, more importantly, with her own self-love and confidence.

Thank you to Briana Garrett and Netgalley for the ARC. I cannot wait to see what else Briana Garrett releases, but I implore everyone to read this book!

This was such a fun read! I loved that the author used the MMC black woman experience to confront insecurities in a fantastical way. Everything that she went through is so relatable, but the journey was fresh and entertaining. The cast was diverse and challenged the mmc's views on life but it was her that had to save her self! Every teen girl needs to read this!!

💫 NetGalley ARC Review 💫This book is an absolute gem! Ayana's journey from a fashionista to a demon-slayer is both hilarious and heartwarming. The blend of supernatural elements with teen drama is executed perfectly, keeping the reader on their toes. I loved how Ayana's fierce loyalty to her sister Sabrina drives the plot, and the introduction of charming characters like Carter adds a delightful twist. The humor is spot-on, and the themes of sisterhood and self-acceptance resonate deeply. It's a stylish, laugh-out-loud adventure that reminds us that love can bloom even in the most unexpected places. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun and engaging read! Five stars all the way!

Love be damned, Briana Garrett's book is not getting the hype it truly deserves. This YA Black paranormal romance, with demons, but mostly focusing on the sisterly bond, should be talked about more. I enjoyed this story a lot; I didn't want to stop reading, and for it to be YA, it kept my attention. The cover art is simply beautiful, and I will have to get the physical copy.

Teen fashionista Ayana always believed she’d go to hell and back for her sister, Sabrina, but she never thought it would be so literal. After a family dinner where Sabrina’s boyfriend, Damian, is replaced by a shape-shifting mirror demon that’s out for her soul, Ayana is forced to put her designing dreams on hold to become the chic demon-slayer her sister needs.

Thank you, NetGalley, and to the author Briana Garrett for the ebook in exchange for my honest review.

I enjoyed so much about this book! The characters were fleshed out and relatable. I loved the relationship between Ayana and her sister Sabrina. Ayana's relationship with Carter developed organically over the course of the book, and they were a great couple. I felt that Zelroth was a good antagonist, though I wish his character and motivations had been fleshed out a bit more. There were great supporting characters like Eva and Theo, and the pacing of the book flowed well. Overall, it was a great read and I loved the overall message of the book. I will definitely recommend it!
