Growing up in Emerald Lakes, population six hundred and eighty-two, had been safe and comfortable. Running my own magic shop and making a living off my green witchcraft, I have no complaints. Sure, there’s my ex, who never understood the word ‘no’, but there’s also the lovable and eccentric townspeople who feel more like one huge extended family, and let’s not forget my boy-crazed Gran who keeps us all on our toes.

...But something has apparently been missing, and the stars take it upon themselves to correct the problem, dropping four sexy men at my door. Well, not literally. They move into the apartment above my shop, so I’m their landlord. Drawn in by these mages who blew into town on a work assignment, a whole different kind of magic starts to grow between us, but my powers are doing things they shouldn’t, and there’s also a pesky prophecy to unravel.

Strange, unnatural things are brewing in Emerald Lakes, and I can’t ignore the sinking suspicion that something life-changing is headed my way.

Discovering a whole new world of magic, I can only hope I don’t lose myself in the madness.

This is a full-length RH romance, which includes MMFMM content. It ends on a cliffhanger and contains brief references to domestic violence and other themes that readers may find triggering

It's the first book I've read that has done an amazing job of bringing our modern world into a magical one. Saige is funny, charismatic, and at times completely juvenile. I love her!! She feels real and tangible.

This one seemed so promising at first, but I don’t think it really worked for me for a couple of reasons:

1. In the 84 books I’ve read this year, I have somehow managed to avoid the whole “daddy” nickname thing, until this book, and I can now confirm that I do not like it lmao. It felt so random the first time she said it and then she said it again during a serious/intense scene and it just completely took me out of it lol just… no, I cant. 

2. The first sex scene with Cam felt.. rushed? In the sense that, she somehow immediately felt comfortable biting him and he took it upon himself to spank her without even talking to her about it beforehand. I feel like normally, you’d discuss things like this, especially considering her previous dating history AND that they barely know each other. It just didn’t feel realistic to me. 

3. The dialogue was kinda cringey a lot of the time lmao. Also, I cringed so hard every time one of the characters said a joke and then the author would describe the characters having these over the top reactions to something that was not that funny.

Overall, I liked the premise and I actually did like the guys. I loved their protective personalities and thought it was so interesting to read about their affinities. I just didn’t feel invested in the story. I took my time reading it (not something I ever do, especially if I am enjoying it) and didn’t feel like I just had to know what was gonna happen. 

Life is too short to not be crazy about what you’re reading, ya feel me? lol. I may not continue the series, certainly not any time soon, but I’d love to be convinced otherwise if the books are worth it!

Holy moon maidens! Not really sure what I expected when I started this book but it far, FAR surpassed my expectations. The plot sucked me in the first few chapters and before I knew it I was 3/4 of the way through! 
By Jupiter's c*ck, the smut!! (I'll never think of a black panther the same way again). The plot could have carried the book on it's own, but the balance of plot & smut was *chef's kiss*. 
Can't wait to finish the series. I'll be under these character's spell long after I finish!

Spectacular RH!

This book took me out of my comfort zone of reading and I loved it. I am a fan of RH and Romance, but newer to the world of paranormal. I absolutely loved the guys. Saige is a wonderful FMC, strong when she needs to be. I can't wait to continue the series and find out more about Saige and her harem !

Umm okay so yeah my predictions were right about pretty much everything and that’s a bummer.. however I do like all the guys and the relationships that are forming. Some things felt out of place and forced which was ehh weird?

The first scene with Sloane & Fish at the warehouse? Very strange, there was no buildup to that and it was just kind of thrown in there for no reason.

The even after that with Saige & Cam? Also forced and very fucking strange. Sis bit him like a vampire because she was tired of being a good girls? Strange then the daddy kink? Was VERY strange to me. Also all the nicknames being thrown around makes this kiddy to me. Gumpy, pet? Kitten, sprout? Uhhh I don’t like it.

Saige is also a very weird girl I mean she’s just way too blaze blaze about everything that’s happening. She’s definitely a glass half full type of chick and it’s refreshing but also strange to see. Some of her commentary during the spicy scenes are off-putting and sometimes it feels like a romcom but I think I like it? Lmao I really don’t know with this damn series it’s throwing me for a loop but I definitely don’t hate it. I hear each book gets better the farther along you go.

I will continue this though bc i wanna know how it ends being that it’s 4 books long. 3.7 for my final rating though.
