I wanted to love it, and I read no.2 because I was enjoying it, but for the love of my sanity how many times do we have to know they fed the horses, again, or he fed them for her, and he's a wonnnnderful boyfriend.. and the spelling mistakes floored me.

After falling in love with Callie and Lucas I had to read this and it is amazing and just as addictive.
Anora is an amazing FMC who I loved getting to know throughout this book, I love the mystery surrounding her and her aunt.
Ethan is just as great and really easy to like.
The plot for this book is brilliant and grabs your attention from the first few pages and keep it till the end, I loved the glimpses of fellow characters from Thornhill and getting to learn more about the Order(if you know you know

ARC. AMAZING! To learn about the connections to the Thorne Hill series blew my mind. I loved both Anora and Ethan although I’m very curious about his connections with the Order. I look forward to seeing if the Anora crosses paths with Callie, as she did in her memories from when she was younger. Cannot wait for the next book in the series!!!

I will admit, I knew about the Grim Gate series and had it on a list of books to check out. So when the author offered a chance to review it, I jumped on it and loved it.
If you've read the author's Thorn Hill series, you'll recognize some places and a few familiar names, since this happens in this same world...but a bit different. Anora discovers she's inherited from a great-aunt she can't remember and then her world turns upside down with supernatural creatures, magic and a very hot hunter in Ethan.
I loved Anora. There were aspects of her that reminded me of Callie, but in a more naive way. She's a protector of those she loves, even if she's terrified. That sense matches perfectly with Ethan. He may have wanted to protect Anora, but he was also willing to stand by her side and help her understand who and what she is, rather than keep her in a pretty box. It really made them the perfect couple...especially when his hunter family wasn't always that friendly to her.
The suspense with the demon after Anora was good, keeping me guessing until the end. The series was set up nicely with this book and I'm hoping we can some intersection with the Thorne Hill series since it appears Anora should have been part of their group growing up. I look forward to more from this series.

I enjoyed this book. I was in a reading slump and needed something quick and dirty to fill the gaps. This book did just that and was a good, spicy read.

Witches, magic, and demon hunters like Dean from Supernatural. What more could you want in an urban fantasy romance? Not much.

I bought this because I saw a tiktok that said it was Dean Winchester in book form. Of course I had to buy it! BUT while this had some decent moments it also had too much going on. This was not a spicy Dean Winchester story (sad) but a very messy story about a medium who isn't actually just a medium and is also being hunted by demons. It definitely felt like this book was just a big info dump to set up for a series and while I enjoyed some of it, I have no interest in continuing at the moment.
Things I didn't like:
-really unnecessary dialogue and scenes that made the book feel like it was dragging on.
-main characters has a dog named Hunter and a brother named Harrison and for whatever reason it was such a struggle to keep them straight while reading
-ever so subtle messages of fat-phobia such as, joking about gaining 100 pounds after eating a couple nights of takeout, and a direct quote "I should be nervous, self-conscious and hating the way my thighs don't gap like they did when I was twenty-one"
-random mean girl who is only mean because she's "lost a lot of people" but then is suddenly not mean when the main character loses someone.
-all the unprotected sex that was made a-okay because the main character "has an IUD" despite, you know, STDs being a thing still?
