I honestly have SO much to say about this book, but I can't give out any spoilers - dang it! Let me start by thanking Allie Shante and Good Girls PR for sending me this amazing ARC.
This book follows Riley Monroe, who is a human living in a world a world where magic exists openly. She's been surrounded by it all of her life and has thought nothing of it. She's out one night and meets River St. James, a tattooed telepath, that happens to go to school where her father works: the notorious Mystic Riegan University, a school that caters to both humans and magic wielders. A tragedy strikes Riley's family and she feels like she needs to take matters into her own hands to find out what really went down.
In the midst of all of that, she finds herself in the most interesting of relationships with her boyfriend (River), his best friend (Grayson) and her boyfriend's older brother (Asher)... Asher who also happens to be one of her college professors, when she transfers to Mystic Riegan University. Let's just say that the men in her life are all good with sharing - everything. I mean, the SPICE is SPICING 🌶️.
This book ends on the most diabolical cliffhanger and now I literally can't wait to get the second book in this duet. I'm going to be tapping my feet until I get it... just call me a petulant child until I get it! 😊
