"Tell me this is real. That it's not some nightmare I'm going to regret tomorrow. Convince me this is worth the risk."

Oh, this book, I was grabbed from the first page, and now I'm going to have a book hangover. The chemistry between Morgan and Tyler was delish and just so right, and the banter between them had me laughing.

You have witches, mages, werewolves, vampires, and elemental magic. Found family, friendship, betrayal, secrets, action, and so much more. I can't wait to follow Skye in her book and find out what happens with Wes in a Unhinged Magic.

I really enjoyed this book! The writing was easy to get into, making it a great introduction to Rachel Scotte’s paranormal universe. The characters were compelling and easy to connect with, and the romantic tension added just the right amount of spice. What really hooked me was the twist—I didn’t see it coming, and it left me wanting more. I’m definitely intrigued to see what happens in the next book because I need answers!

This was such a fun read! Witches, vampires, and werewolves, oh my! Morgan feels a pull to Cutter’s Cove, and we get to follow along as she finds out why. I just loved this small town witchy romance and cannot wait to read book two!

This is a great debut book!

This is full of magick, supernatural, and spice! So much spice!
This is a cross of charmed and the vampire diaries. The compassion and tension between the main characters is amazing. The way the story was written was great, especially for being Rachel's first book. I can't wait for the next one!

Thank you, author, for the eARC copy of this story

🌟 4/5

“Death speared our hearts. Ripped them open. Left shadows of ourselves to put back together its shattered pieces.”

As a debut novel this one really shocked me (in a good way). It didn’t feel like a debut, more like the third or fourth book by an author, but definitely the start of the series. I fell in love with Tyler and his friends, and little old lady Betty from the moment we were introduced to them and loved going on the journey in Cutters Cove.

The characters were lovable and boy oh BOY do I have questions I need answers to in book two - but once this story starts ramping it holds onto you until the very end. The pacing definitely caught me off guard at times and I’m hoping some of the events near the end of book one might have some more clarity shed in book two because A WHOLE LOT HAPPENED and I want to read more about it!

One thing I loved about this book was that it made me realise what I like in an urban fantasy - I’m the first one to say I don’t normally gravitate towards it and I think this book hit the nail on the head of everything I do like about them. Getting to find out about magic, creatures and other paranormal entities from the perspective of someone unaware (please tell me there’s a name for this as a trope because I can’t exactly Google that for recommendations can I?) is something that I love in an urban fantasy and this book did it extremely well. 

I’m excited for the next instalment in the series as there’s so much more I want to know about the world, the magic, and the characters in Cutters Cove!
