Harper L Woods has done it again! I guess I am a paranormal/fantasy snob because I am very particular about the ones that I read. There is definitely not a short supply of those genres of books on the market. But, for me, a well-written paranormal/fantasy story can be hard to find; enough world-building details to draw you in but, not so many that you get lost in all the details and lose interest. Woods has found the magical mixture of both because her stories have always drawn me in and kept my attention until the last sentence.
The Coven is a witch/demon paranormal romance that ends with twist that you don’t see coming! I love a strong FC that can hold her own and Willow does not disappoint. She has a goal in mind and is determined not to be swayed from it. Gray…that man is hella possessive and has the long goal game in mind. After reading the end of The Coven, I am seriously impressed by the lengths that he will go to have Willow. Fire (Gray) meets gasoline (Willow) and their combustion is nothing short of “what the hell just happened”. Can’t wait to read the next installment of the Coven of Bones series!

When I get in the right mood, I like a dark romance just like any other. As long as there is chemistry. In which there is NONE here. They meet and then bam, insta lust??? Ok fine, but that can’t carry the WHOLE book ok??! It’s meant to be “enemies to lovers” but all I see is enemies and lust. Even the ending does not seem romantic at all. Dark romance still needs “romance” people

Imagine Twilight met The Craft and throw in a bunch of witchy politics— The Coven is what you get!
The book includes a fairly complex and enchanting world of witches and an interesting twist on vampires. With a powerful FMC, a MMC with ‘touch her and die vibes, betrayal, and romance combined to create an unputdownable story.
Whilst there is romance, the spicy scenes are minimal, but what the book lacks in smut, makes up for with a gripping plot and tension, keeping you on edge with every twist and turn and a plot twist that you don’t see coming! The book starts slow but by the end I could not put it down!
If you’re into witches, love triangles, and twists that keep you guessing, this one is definitely worth adding to your reading list!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars

Willow has been moulded by her father to become the ultimate tool to gain his revenge on the Coven and Coventry alike. After the death of her mother, she is whisked away to a university/academy in which she is meant to learn to control and wield her magic- but secretly, she plans to seduce and undo the ages old vampire headmaster and the school itself.
We don't see her learning about her magic overly much- considering she lived in isolation with her mother and brother and they hid magic from said brother, she already seemed to know everything. Plus, her university comes with a school-girl-fetish uniform to highlight her mid sized figure, that is specifically mentioned two or three times throughout the book in random info dumps.
I would have liked to explore the composition and characters that made up The Coventry more throughly- I thought they were an interesting concept. I would have also liked to have seen a little more of the world beyond Willows' all consuming lust for Headmaster. We briefly see her father, who is stereotypically horrendous and abusive and I spotted the twist at the end fairly early on in her relationship with Gray.
Billed as a 'gothic, dark-academia, paranormal romance' there are elements needing trigger warnings in line with your traditional vampire, dark romance stories. I didn't really understand the whole point of the Reapings beyond a spicy scene that questions consent, nor how it would actually work between other university students and the vessels- it was uncomfortable and not very sexy at all considering the FMC was having a panic attack at the time.
Closes on a cliffhanger hanger involving a seal, demons and a twist (aforementioned).
