Caged in Silver: A Dark Academia Fantasy Romance (The Secrets of Brownhill Book 1) 

by Mara Heath

“Hardly anyone gets what it’s like to be sensitive, much less psychic. I simply have to accept that, even if it puts me in the uncomfortable position of straddling two different sets of friends. No, two different worlds.”

A book  like this make my little “witchy”  Empath 💜heart so happy!! 

 Have you ever felt a connection with a story and felt like it was written just for you! 

I literally could not put this book down! It was definitely what I crave in a dark academia supernatural /fantasy! 

Being its unique storyline and a mix of urban fantasy, folklore and supernatural elements. I was so obsessed with this book! 

This story is full of angst and a bunch of “teenage drama” just like your favorite YA tv shows!  And I definitely was eating up all the drama, love triangles, break ups, slow burn, and all the other juicy stuff!  Mix it up with fantasy and supernatural elements and I truly was in heaven! 

MFC Betts is trying to navigate her hectic college life. Between friends, an overbearing parent,  parties , trying to choose a Sorority, a hot & popular Frat president boyfriend , and trying to be the perfect girlfriend. 

Betts tries to fit in but she secretly hides her true self. Until she meets the mysterious “Leo” at a Frat party. Leo starts to show Betts her true self and they form a sweet friendship that turns into a  undeniable chemistry between them. 

MMC Leo is the mysterious tall, dark and handsome type. Betts is intrigued by him and starts hanging out with him and his “friends “ who have special supernatural “gifts” 

She starts drifting away from her “popular clique “ friends and discovers she also has a “special gift” that she never knew she had. But with the help of Leo , Avery and Aaron , she soon discovers her true “Clair” self but is very reluctant  to embrace it. 

She soon learns her gift is crucial to helping Leo with a dilemma he’s facing. 

But will Betts embrace her gift and “save the world “ unfortunately you don’t find out just yet because this book ends on a major cliffhanger. 😫 I need book 2 now!! 😅

And a special shout out to Leo’s  friend “ Rime” he has a brief cameo in the book but he sure does make a major impact ! I hoping to see more of his character in the next book! 😍

Overall… I enjoyed everything little inch of this fantasy and I highly recommend you checking out this debut novel by Mara Heath! 

Thank Mara and Torch Lit Ink for this amazing arc in exchange for my honest review!
