Content Warnings
Salem, secret society, abuse and witches, but no magic. Characters are basic, but likable. The romance is cute-ish. The plot is not bad but is secondary to the growing harem. Heavy smut.

I completely devoured this book in 24h. I cannot wait to read the other books!! This was so good. If you love age gap, college romance, why choose, Salem Witch Trials and secret societies you'll love this!! THE ENDING(! EXCUSE ME ????? THAT HURT...
Our FMC, Skyla Parris is forced to go to a prestigious university in Salem, Massachusetts - Gallows Hill University by her father. In being sent to this university she is also made aware that she is going to be married to Asher Putnam. She loves to swim. As if the water is her safe space.
Asher Putnam, Skyla's fiancé to be - they're in an arranged marriage. The reluctant, bully MMC, aside from having his own daddy issues is the last to arrive to the party. When I tell you he was cold to Skyla he was like an ice-cube made of spikes. On her first day he is such an asshole?! But I get it. Asher's father is a cruel, brutal man. THE FERRIS WHEEL SCENE 🥹
Calls Skyla "Princess"✨
Liam, Ronan's roommate and best friend. The golden retriever MMC. LIAM DEFENDING SKYLA IS SO ❤️🔥❤️🔥. God I love him?! Also the date he took her on?!! AHH. He is so precious and should be protected at all costs.
Calls Skyla "Babygirl"🖤
Ronan, Asher's uncle and the Gallows Hill University swim coach. The insatiable, gruff, older MMC. All of them are protective of Skyla but he takes it to a whole new level!!
Calls Skyla "Baby"✨
Vincent, Asher's enemy. He's a swimmer. The grumpy MMC. He's silent but
always watching Skyla like a shadow. Willing to protect her at all costs. He is a hitman for a society of Gallows Hill and I think he has a darker secret he's not telling.
Calls Skyla "Siren"🖤

Yalllll I can tell already that this is going to be such a wicked series. I loved the dark academia vibes, especially since it’s set in Salem. It’s the perfect book to start off the autumn season! Katelyn’s writing is always so captivating and saucy and there were a lot of moments that had me cackling. One of my favourite things about a good why choose is when the dynamic between the MMCs is well rounded and Katelyn absolutely delivered. Each MMC brought a different element to the group which made them integral to the survival of their relationship. It was tough to pick a front runner because they’re all so hot in their own way and honestly how dare I try to pick favourites?? They can all get it any day, any time
