The Magic of Discovery is the first book in a reverse harem paranormal romance series. I really enjoyed it. While parts of it felt very predictable, it was still a really fun read. It definitely sets up for the rest of the series. I really like all the characters so far. I am not particularly found of prophecies in books because they often give too much away. I am interested in seeing if the other books have any unexpected twists.

The romance so far is good. It’s very instalove so far but I like that. The only downside of instalove is that I feel like I still only really know them at the surface level. The mm relationships feel just as important as the mf which I really like. Final impression is that I am going to continue the series to see where it goes.

this was cute and had me giggling so much! and all the 🌶 was hot but holy shit that first scene was 🥵
over all i did really like this book, it was pretty predictable i guessed the plot twist/cliffhanger within the first few chapters but it was still a cute read. definitely excited about continuing and seeing if the rest of my theories and suspicions are right too.

Okay, let me just start with my main issue and get it over with. The men are all about 30 years old with Saige being almost 27. They talk like they’re about 20ish. Some of it just wasn’t realistic. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m all for suspending belief for a story I mean I am reading a fantasy romance with shifters and demons so like… but some of the stuff they said just wasn’t it.

I loved that this book gave multiple pov’s, I loved seeing into everyone’s head. HOWEVER, I feel like seeing into all the character’s heads spoiled some of the information. I feel like I knew what every twist was going to be within a couple of pages so I was never shocked by anything which was a bit disappointing.

What I did enjoy was how different all the men are, they each have their own backstory which is nice to see…(excuse me as I try to remember if you find out backstories during this book or the second book) Anyways, they have backstories and I like how they all clearly have different personalities and powers.

Nothing SUPER significant happens during this book and it read a bit slow for me but I still enjoyed it? To be completely honest I enjoyed the second one much more. This book felt like an opener, I mean it was the first book, so I think it’s just introducing us to the characters and whatnot.

There are a couple smexy scenes with a daddy kink as well as M/M. If you’re not into those this might not be for you.

I was iffy about continuing with the series, I won’t lie like I almost stopped after this one. It was a low low 3 for me. BUT I kept going and really enjoyed the second book. This was my first fantasy reverse harem, so we’ll see how it goes.
