This book has been on my e-reader for quite some time already and it has been even longer on my wishlist. It's almost a year ago that someone first told me to read a book by Emma Dean and that this was the perfect starting point. However, there are so many books I wanna read and I keep on adding new ones to the list and e-reader. But, this was the perfect book to fill the "author name starting with a D" - option for the N.E.W.T.'s.
It didn't take long for me to get into this book. The first chapter was already quite amazing, introducing the characters in the best way possible and I was so curious to know what was going on and what was going to happen. It's a pity that I had to work in between, else I would have maybe binged the entire series in one day.
This book was a little bit of everything I like. The characters in this book are quite intelligent and even though hormones are messing with their brains it's not that bad. On top of that there is a lot of politics in this book and I'm very sure there's much more to come in the other books. To make it even more perfect we have a heroine who is strong and not just because she knows how to fight and we have three lovely men, all very different and unique.
There's also a really nice build up. Usually when characters discover in chapter three that they are mates, it doesn't take that long before they end up in bed together, but in this case the characters really thought things through. The attraction was there, the lust was there, but they really wanted to make sure that this was what they wanted, that this was how they wanted their future to be, before they acted on all those feelings and emotions. That made the moments it eventually happened even better.
And then there was the finale. Damn! I can't wait to see where this is going!

What does the a Fox say?
This book cracked me up and pulled me in. All McKenzie, a powerless witch born into a powerful family, wants to do is save her sister from the curse coursing through her body - a curse that has rendered the younger sister magic-less. Should be easy, right?
There are laugh out loud moments of hilarity, along with plenty of self introspection to be had. The three sexy foxes.... and thieves.... claiming to be Kenzie’s mates throw her life into a whirlwind of confusion, plotting and desire. It seems the game is afoot... and not only foxes can play.
Pros:
- Funny
- Character development is on point
- Tension feels real
- Secondary characters are just as pivotal
Cons:
- Some parts of the universe are confusing.

Next please
Okay WOW.
I LOVED this book! The author has done a great job developing her characters and their relationships. I love that we have a badass female main character and 3 hot as hell mates. I really can’t express how much I enjoyed the authors storyline. I’m super anxious to read the next book and find out where this goes. Kenzie is a witch without powers mated to three fox shifters. She’s on the quest of getting her sisters magic restored and taking down the guy who cursed her in the first place. Definitely a book you need to read!

This was pretty cute! A light-hearted read, low on the steam, but big on the affection. I’m intrigued enough to continue!!

For Fox Sake is the first book in The Chaos of Foxes series by Emma Dean. This is a romantasy with a reverse harem.
We follow Kenzie, a witch with no powers in a family of powerful witches. Needless to say, she is a bit of a disappointment and most of her family just ignores her. Kenzie’s younger sister has been cursed and her powers have been stripped from her. As Kenzie does everything she can to help restore her sister’s powers, she meets three foxes who are there to steal the potion she is looking for before she can get it. Will she be able to get it before they do?
Let’s get the rant portion over with first. One thing that bothers me about a lot of romantasy books is how often they remind you how hot the characters are. I got it the first five times, move on! We get that the main characters are all drool-worthy, let’s get on with the plot and characterization.
Now for the things I liked. Now, I don’t typically enjoy harem tropes, regular or reverse, but I feel this one worked well enough. I loved how fierce Kenzie is for her younger sister and how much she cares for her grandmother. After everything Kenzie has been through in her life as a non-magical witch in a magical world, she doesn’t want her sister, who was a powerful witch before she was cursed, to have to go through the same thing.
The romance between the three fox shifters and Kenzie was instalove-ish and a little over the top, but it also sort of worked. I am interested enough to want to find out what happens so I will pick up the second book.
