ENG
After reading first three books in the series, I decided to put it down. I'm no longer interested what happens even though it was not bad. I just can't commit to such a long series about one romantic relationship.
(diversity: polyamorous relationship)

This was such an incredible first book in a series. I love the characters and I did guess a twist in here but it was still so good. Definitely reccomend to anyone who wants a spicy paranormal romance that includes mm action! we stan miss Britt Andrews

This was extremely amusing, but also awkward and kinda cringe at times. I was listening to the audiobook, so maybe that was why?

This book has launched me onto a new reading journey. I had heard great things about this series and author through a few Facebook groups that I am in, but for whatever reason, I didn't start reading it until a few weeks ago.

I am SO glad that I did. I have discovered another favorite author (of which I have a few), one that I will happily read any books which have her name as a byline, or at least give them a very good chance.

This series debut is very entrancing. For whatever reason, I normally multitask while reading, often with a tv show at the same time, or with me reading on commercial breaks. This book fully captivated my attention, to the point that I gave it 100% of my attention, and did not notice anything that was happening on my TV. This is something that doesn't happen to me very often, and makes me even more drawn to this book and the rest of the series.

This book ended on a cliffhanger, which can be done inadequately by some others, but Britt Andrews does it masterfully. I was still shocked when the story unexpectedly ended, but she somehow does it in such a way that I don't want to stop reading the series (which has happened to me before).

Saige lives in the idyllic small town of Emerald Lakes, where wielders of magic are commonplace, and newcomers are not. Although Saige loves her hometown and never plans to leave, her romantic opportunities are limited, especially with her abusive and controlling ex still nearby to threaten her and anyone that comes around. That is, until 4 men rent the apartment above Saige's witchy business-front. Soon, Saige finds herself going on dates and developing relationships with more than one of the men.

However, not all is tranquil in Emerald Lakes. There are unsettling prophecies being bandied about, Saige's abusive ex is stirring up trouble, and something odd is happening to Saige's magic.

The only thing i would say is: Juvenile storyline. From the jump you can see who will be the bad guy, this book is trying to be mysterious but where is the mystery when its telling you who is the bad guy already.

Also the FMC for lack of a better word to bubbly to the point of rolling my eyes. The author tries to give her a back bone but fails by the later chapters.

The scenes where there is some “spice” with the two guys was just not it to be honest it felt forced.
