I really wanted to like this, and I did.. a little.
We were all over the place with this one - the story didn’t settle on a plot line, like… ever… not even at the end.

Trulyyyy being in our FMCs head is like being in 2025 America- horrible. I hate it here.
SELENE. GET. A. GRIP. It’s not even that she’s whiny? She’s just a fucking mess??? The only promising part about her is she’s supposedly some ancient, badass queen. Butttt we don’t get to experience that in this book, we’re only promised it. So, Im holding out for that part of her to pop off maybe in book 2???

Our MMC, Memnon, is the only saving grace and even then I’ve got issues- “Memnon”? I hate that name. He’s DELULU and ancient, so obviously we love him! Butttttt we ALSO couldn’t pick a character line for him. Is he evil and seeking vengeance? Or is he “id end it all for you” in love and just happy to be back with his ‘amage’??

I don’t know guys, this felt so messy and I was just annoyed with the jumping around. Will I read the second? Probably, yes.

imaniciclenow's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 73%

Bored with it

1 star ⭐️ i fear…..idk what i expected but it wasn’t this. she just came off across as dumb and literally couldn’t get past anything besides the fact that the guy who is basically terrorizing her is hot. like girl he’s being insane pls get a grip

This was quite a slow start and took me a while to get fully invested in the characters and the plot but when I did, wow I loved it. I really like the idea of reincarnated soulmates and forgotten memories plus the magic is also really original and unique which comes with a "disability" for some witches yet Selene is is continuously a vivacious strong female lead. Also enemies to lovers with spice, do I need to say anymore? I can't wait to read the next instalment I'm desperate to find out what happens next.

This is one of those books that have been on my kindle for as long as I can remember but I just never picked up. 
I’m glad I finally decided to dive into this world. 
What I didn’t know going in was that this is kind of a paranormal ? Read. Set in our world but the witches stay hidden which made getting into this super easy as there wasn’t too much stuff to learn. 
What you’ll get is 
- familiars
- a bit of an unhinged mmc 
- witch fmc who’s kind of a bad ass with magic ! 
- a school / academy type setting 
- murder mystery backstory 
There’s a lot of things we don’t know throughout this book and it kept me very invested I finished this within 24 hours.

Better than I was anticipating! I immediately bought the next book!

“I have been inside you more times than there are stars to count. I am no more a stranger to you than your own skin is.”

i just want to start this kinda review by saying i absolutely devoured this..

memnon and selene are such a funny pair and their chemistry had me kicking my feet and giggling the whole time. even selene’s familiar had me cackling numerous times. i honestly didn’t expect this book to be as funny as it was but i found myself laughing more than not.

i could probably write a drawn out detailed review but i genuinely just want to tell everyone to give it a try. (shit even if you aren’t a paranormal or fantasy person) this book was filled with tons of fun, laughter, magic and a hot ass ancient man with a filthy mouth.. what else is there to want?
