In a city of magic users, I’m a freak—a sponge with the ability to absorb the powers of others. Even worse, I’m an illegal outlaw who’s spent the past decade on society's fringes, concealing my true nature and struggling to survive.

Everything changes when three alpha mages enter my life, each notorious in our city's shadowy underbelly.

Roscoe, the master of illusion, with unwavering loyalty to his friends. His quick grin and cheerful nature break through my sky-high walls like nothing else.

Zeph, the grouchy storm mage who is seriously intense and not a fan of mine.

And Fabian, their surprisingly sweet leader, poisoned by a deadly blood curse that only I can help him break.

Together, they offer me a chance at a clean slate. One that would bring me back into society along with my new family of weirdos and outcasts.

Now I just have to get through this mission while keeping my secrets safe.

Outlaw Witch is a reverse harem/why choose paranormal romance, meaning our heroine will end up with more than one guy by the end. The story is fast paced, but the romance is a slow burn and this is part one of three. It features three alpha mages and one witch who could raze the city to the ground if she wanted to. Also featuring: forced proximity, enemies to lovers themes, secret identity, and a snarky and ridiculous found family. The series will end with a happily ever after but book 1 will end on a cliffhanger.

As "warned," this story is VERY light on the spice (2/5) and almost YA in how it's written.
What I liked about this book is the fact that the story and inner monologue(s) don't center on the relationships; the plot advances irrespective of the feelings that the characters have with each other.
Not every single conversation is written out, and I liked that. At the same time, some of the important conversations were glossed over which deprived readers the ability to get to know the MC's in a deeper way.
I disliked that the FMC was billed as being "tough," "highly intelligent," and with high steel walls. She also promised to herself that she wouldn't fall for charms of the upper class. Yet, with one of the MMC's, he disrespects her and condescends to her with every term of endearment and she only pushes back once. 21 sweethearts, 4 honeys, 4 baby/babe/baby girl while also winking (9 times) at her.
She chose to not investigate how her name and phone number have been circulated, yet she is the described as being "very hard to get ahold of."
There were just A LOT of weird inconsistencies like this. It's almost like the author wanted to write a strong FMC yet made her as strong as a piece of tissue paper.
I'm intrigued enough to read book 2, but hopefully the FMC starts to stand up for herself more and use her magics to her advantage.

Well done

Outside some steamy leaps that didn't quite fit where they were placed, this was a happy find amongst several recent disappointments. Her friends actually interacted with her. The characters are fleshed out and developed. The plot has fun tangents to twist about but doesn't meander off never to be seen again. The world building is woven in, no info dumps. The characters are flawed, silly, serious, grumpy, without being caricatures or perfect beings. They have seriously strong powers but aren't all powerful. There was thought, craft, and planning that went into this and it shows. Well, outside a few odd time skips. Honestly, those and the oddly placed steam scenes were the reason for the lower stars. They really did jolt the flow of the story.

DNF

Awkward hookup right at the beginning and I'm pretty sure the guy will be back as one of the love interests but he gave me the creeps, so no thank you.

great read

Loved this story! It gave me a female casual Dresden Files vibe. You get a wild with magic but it is modern and has its own issues. A little bit of a mafia vibe to switch things up which is fun. I loved that the author gave you multiple character perspectives and in depth looks at each. Greatly enjoyed this read on the car ride on vacation!

This world is engaging, with a magic system I haven't experienced before. I read this is one sitting and I'm about to dive into the next book.. at midnight. Some reads are worth it, and I am IN this.

The RH is one at a time, which feels more realistic, and also oddly slow-burn, which I'm really enjoying.

I was happy to receive an ARC of Outlaw Witch, and this review is my own honest opinion.

"Outlaw Witch," the first book in Essie Suter's Enchanted Bargains series, is a spellbinding tale that weaves magic, suspense, and slow-burn romance into a rich tapestry of storytelling. At the heart of this novel is Silver, a character whose evolution is as captivating as the magical abilities she harbors.

Silver's journey from a guarded loner to someone who gradually opens up to new alliances and emotions is portrayed with deft skill. Suter masterfully navigates her protagonist's internal conflicts, making Silver's gradual acceptance of her feelings towards Fabian (and to a lesser degree, Roscoe and Zeph) a pivotal aspect of the story, especially as it culminates in a cliffhanger that leaves readers yearning for more.

The world-building in "Outlaw Witch" is a standout feature. Suter intricately describes a society stratified by bloodlines and magic, making the plight of our heroine, an outcast in this elitist world, all the more compelling. The vivid descriptions of the city's various quarters, from the opulent to the downtrodden, immerse readers in a world that is both fantastical and strikingly real.

The relationships Silver forms are the crux of the narrative. Her rocky, tension-filled interaction with Zeph, the light-hearted flirtations with Roscoe, and the deep, complex bond with Fabian, are penned with a finesse that keeps the romantic tension simmering without boiling over. It’s a slow-burn romance done right, with enough spice to keep readers intrigued but not overwhelmed.

Pacing is one of this book's strengths. Suter balances a fast-moving plot with the gradual development of relationships, creating a story that hooks readers and doesn't let go. This seamless blend of suspense and romance makes for an unputdownable read.

Thematically, "Outlaw Witch" delves into found family, trust, societal stratification, and the challenges faced by those wielding misunderstood powers. These themes are woven into the narrative in a way that is both thought-provoking and deeply relatable.

For fans of reverse harem and 'why choose' romances, "Outlaw Witch" is a must-read. While the book starts less spicy than typical in the genre, it promises more heat in the sequels, adding to its allure.

In conclusion, "Outlaw Witch" is a standout in its genre. Essie Suter has crafted a world and characters that resonate deeply, leaving readers eagerly anticipating the next installment, "Livewire Witch." A rare 5-star gem, this book is a testament to the magic of well-crafted storytelling.

This was my second book by this author and I really enjoyed it from start to finish! I am already eager for book 2 that comes outs next week 😊

The relationship building and world building the author did was so well done! I can imagine this split world with the haves and have nots and the rogues that straddle the line either for greed or for survival. I loved Silver from the very beginning. Some of her antics make me laugh so hard, and her snark and inner monologue were on point haha. Her found/made family is also awesome and I loved getting glimpses of them too. I hope if this author continues in this world after Silver’s trilogy is over that we get some closer for the others (like are Hanna and Rook a thing? Like how much of a BA Luna is, she deserve a HEA, and I love Ember’s power and I feel like he could be a dark horse in a future book!).

As for the guys, I came to love Fabian so much!! The ending gutted me but I understood what needed to happen. The moments he was able to have with Silver though were adorable and a hint of steam haha. I loved seeing how deep his bond went with this brother, how he would do anything to keep him safe and help heal him. I loved Ro’s levity and squirrel moments with getting so distracted. He is such a lovable character, I hope we get to see Silver and him go further in book 2 after the tension between them in book 1. And then we get Zeph, who is a giant cinnamon roll I bet haha. I want to see his face when he realizes what Silver did for them all (after the big event at the warehouse and then with the ritual at the end). He I feel will fall the hardest and I am so here for that!

So without giving anything away, the story in this one lent to a couple bigger issues. One at least was resolved in this book but caused multiple ones in its wake haha. I am intrigued to see how the evil familiar relationship to one of the guys handles what Silver did and I hope he will get his just rewards soon, after what he did to Silver when she was just a kid. The part of the world regarding powers is so amazing and I could imagine it in my head as I was reading. I loved Silver’s power, she is going to be highly sought out once they realize what she can do. I think my only critique with the storyline was why not have Silver in disguise or have Ro give her an illusion when she is pretty much their muscle while Fabian is down for the count? Like she is worried about being caught and recognized, why put her in front of bad guys when word will spread and they could give away who she is (and Ro used her name for goodness sakes haha). But again that is my only issue I had with this book, so easily 5 stars from me ❤️

Amazing first book of a series. I’d say it’s less of a paranormal romance and more of a dystopian paranormal with a hint of romance? The slow burn romance mixed with the fast paced action made it just the right pacing for introducing the foundation of the world building. It was written in a way that just makes you lose yourself in the story right from the hook.

The characters are distinct and interesting on their own, but add it to their unmistakable chemistry, it makes things so much more enjoyable. It’s also a great way of introducing our harem members to our FMC and see their individual dynamics with her. One thing I would subconsciously notice was that despite the action being well described, the same thing cannot be said about the characters. It's not so much as their personality because they're different in that regard, but more into their physical descriptions. From what I can remember of Silver's initial descriptions of Roscoe and Zeph, they were both described as tall, built and dark haired with Zeph being the biggest one. I think their physical differences could be elaborated more, throughout various points in the book. Roscoe had tattooed runes all over him but what about Zeph? What about their eye colors and the shape of their lips? These small differences could help Silver seem more observant and subsequently show her interests in them as a person. Especially as this series was supposed to be reverse harem. The FMC needs to have some underlying curiousity in her love interests. For that reason alone, it was why I just cannot help but love Fabian so much. I usually try not to pick favourites out of the MMCs in a reverse harem, but his chemistry with Silver was top notch and I find myself wanting more.

The cliffhanger ending was torture but necessary because due to the fast pacing of the book, we're getting close to being overwhelmed with all that info dump and the plot progressing by the end. It was also torture because we went through so much yet so little at the same time. It’s like getting literary blue balls lol. Overall it was a really good book with the right balance of plot, humour, and tension. I can’t wait for the next book to come out!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review which in no way affected my thoughts and opinions.

“I'm actively pretending like my life is not spiraling out-of-control right now. I can't fight these circumstances, so I'd better roll with them. Good thing I'm more than a little resilient.”

Rating: 3.75 stars ⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️

This book reminded me of the vibes of the Mortal Instruments series + the sarcastic humor of Veronica Mars.

Overview:
•Paranormal Romance
•Why Choose/RH
•Multiple POVs
•Secret Identity
•Forced Proximity
•InstaLove/Lust
•Spicy Scenes
•Cliffhanger Ending

The world building combined an urban fantasy feel with magical subsets, and I liked how the city sections were revealed!

The pacing moved on a decently quick pace, and it felt like an easy read. The writing feels a bit YA drama (reminiscent of the MI series) + spice.

I have mixed feelings about the FMC. Silver was supposedly a highly powerful witch, but her brash actions and cowering nature didn’t support that. She does have a fun, sarcastic energy akin to Veronica Mars (iykyk). And I love a fiercely loyal FMC. So I liked her character overall, but… maybe there’s just a lot of room for growth.

The three MMCs were all intriguing, and I found myself more and more invested in their storylines as the book went on. The connection between these three and Silver felt a little too InstaLove and surface level for my personal preferences, but I do feel invested in how their relationships turn out.

Weirdly enough, Dante the vampire was one of the my favorites! His character was fleshed out in a subtle way, and his ominous vibe jumped off the page.

Overall, there’s plenty of suspense and action to keep readers interested, and I’m curious to know what happens next! I really want to see how the RH fully develops.

I would say 3.5 stars...the storyline is catchy but....I almost felt like too much was going on for the first book.
Silver is a witch that can absorb some of other people's magic. She mainly tries to keep a leash on it but sometimes it's automatic. She lives in an abandoned warehouse with other outcasts she calls family.
One day, out on a job to "retrieve artifacts" for a client, Silver meets Roscoe and Zeph who need a blood mage to help cure their friend ,Fab from a demon curse. These guys are a higher tier, wealthy, offering her a better life for her crew, the moon...how can she refuse?
There are so many people, vampires, you name it, that she meets along the way. But, to me, there doesn't seem to be enough information in certain relationships. Not enough time to delve into interesting interactions? There could be so much more. I can't get a good feel for the crew of friends/family. Roscoe and Zeph are big players but they still seem a little superficial. Even as her feeling for Fab increase, it felt a little basic...not intense...glossed over. I found, Dante, the vampire intriguing and the give and take between him and Silver felt like something that needed exploring. But there is so much going on that it left me wanting more.
That being said, the storyline is interesting. There is drama, betrayal, intimidation,
and plenty of action to keep the reader involved. The cliffhanger has enough to want you to read more. I just wish there was more substance to the relationships.

I really liked this book. The beginning started a bit slow but when it picked up I got sucked in to the end. Silvers character is interesting and has many facets to her. I also liked the mmcs Fabian, Roscoe, and Zeph although he was a jerk most of the book and I'm waiting for him to get over his denial and turn his behavior towards her around. I'm kind of hoping Dante will be another love interest that will end up in the harem because there is definitely chemistry and intrigue there. There wasn't much steam and the burn is slow and I'm confused as to if Zeph doesn't realize he hooked up with Silver before or not, but it didn't stop you from enjoying the relationship building especially between her and Fabian. I also loved how she built one with and helped take care of his brother and the relationships she has with her "found family". They're all interesting characters and I'd like to see more of them and their brother/sister bonds in the next few books. I don't get what roscoe's uncles problem is with silver and especially why his visits and threats were always private with her and also why he hasn't told the guys her identity. I'm waiting on them to find that out. The ending was heartbreaking for so many reasons but I'm confident that since they fell in love before they can do it again, especially under the circumstances they're in with them having to leave and rely on each other. I hate cliffhangers, but I'm definitely ready for the next book to find out what happens next. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily

I've read several of Essie Suter's previous series and was excited to see this book. It's a solid 4+ stars.

It's a urban fantasy involving a witch that's supposed to be dead. So, she likes to stay in the shadows. However, two high ranking mages find her and implore her to help their friend who is slowly dying of a curse. Most of the book is spent figuring out what kind of curse it is and how to break it.

I really enjoyed this one! The book starts out like a thriller with her locked in a building with no way out....It was fairly fast paced with loads of action. It's a slow burn with the men. It's good to actually get an idea who these men are in the book blurb. I would have liked more scenes with Roscoe & Zeph only because I didn't feel their connection was as strong as Fabian's.

The men have pretty distinct personalities. Though only Fabian's feelings seem the most genuine.

We have:
Zeph - He has a tryst with Silver in an alley. And they're still not sure how\why that happened. He distrusts her.

Roscoe - who is like the golden retriever of the group.

Fabian - is the charmer and the one cursed.

Then there's also her found family (Ember, Rook, Hanna, Luna)

I'm hoping Dante (the vampire) becomes part of this group. But it's not looking like it.

Of course we have a cliffhanger right after something really heartbreaking happens. WHY Essie!!

*Strong FMC
*Found family
*Slow burn (really slow) maybe 2 spicy scenes
*Magic

OUTLAW WITCH is the first book in the Enchanted Bargains series and it's a slow-burn, action-packed urban fantasy why choose story.

The FMC, Silver, is living on the outskirts of town, where no one really wants to be, with her found family. She has a terrible sense of direction which is how she meets Zeph, the first of the MMCs. Roscoe, the second MMC, "rescues" her from a fire. They both want her to help their friend, Fabian, who is under a blood curse and the third MMC. Throw in someone who knows who she was and it's non-stop.

I loved the set-up of this book, showing the different groups, as well as the different personalities. I would have preferred to know more about Zeph and Roscoe, as well as Rook, Ember, etc. but I guess you can't have everything in one book. I also want to see more of Silver's magic. It didn't feel as though she actually used much of it here. Hopefully, there will be more in the next book.

The ending is a doozy. Cliffhanger Alert!!! It will definitely leave you wanting more. A great start to a new series, and one I look forward to continuing. Definitely recommended by me.

** same worded review will appear elsewhere **

This new series by Essie Suter does not disappoint. It has magic, drama, attraction, dashes of spice, and the threat of necromancy.

Silver is a jill of all trades and very dedicated to her chosen family. She's intelligent, compassionate, hardworking, and a bit snarky. She finds herself embroiled in more drama than she signed up for but she's unable to resist helping because she just might be catching a case of the feels.

Fabian is a sweetheart with golden retriever vibes. Roscoe reminds me of a hyper Jack Russell terrier all over the place. And Zeph is like a rescued abused cat. He wants love but would rather lash out than have anyone close. There is also Dante the vamp who I really hope joins her harem later in the series.

This book is mostly a scavenger hunt of trying to figure out what is going on and how to deal with it. Friendships and tentative foundations for relationships are getting built. Overall it's an entertaining book with random twists and turns.

It does end on a cliffhanger.

Just wow….

At first when I started this I thought it was another typical stray cat type of story. Not at all.

The world building is interesting and kinda small. I think that it will grow immensely as the story goes on in future books. The plot through, that kept growing and growing.

Silver, the FMC is absolutely amazing: caring, fierce, loyal, powerful and funny. I found that she was relatable and absolutely abstract all in one interesting package.

The guys are a crack up but a mystery. You only get peeks at each of their pasts and who they are. However, they are both each their own personalities. That is a big plus for this book compared to others. They don't blend into one charcter at all, rather hold their own with each their own quirks.

I recommend this book for the adventure, the deep desire for Silver to be redeemed on this crazy job, and for a couple wonderful babbling jokes that gets you laughing out loud for real.

Overall, give me book two dang it. Read this. I loved it. The book was fun, new and exciting. I love this slow burn and found even some sacrifices are worth the risk… like finishing reading the book.

This review is all on my own. I received a free copy on request from booksirens to leave an honest review. I was not coerced or paid.

“Outlaw Witch” is a fascinating start to a new series, and one that’s definitely making me interested in checking out more work from this author! In this book we meet Silver, a young witch who was cast away and imprisoned for having forbidden magic. Her past doesn’t make her closed off though; this young woman has a huge heart and the power to protect those she cares about.

The moment two mages approach her to help them remove a curse from their friend, I couldn’t expect the complicated and intricate plot that develops from there. There’s a lot happening in this first book, with mages that are involved in organized crime, a vampire who owns a nightclub where people are encouraged to lose their clothes, curses, betrayal, the power of friendship and so much more. The interactions between Silver and Fabian add cuteness to the story, those between Silver and Zeph are hilarious (the stoic man doesn’t like to be antagonized) and Roscoe is… Roscoe. There is no easy way to explain the man and the complicated way his brain works.

All of that together with a bunch of fascinating side characters, a past we definitely don’t know everything about and some cool powers create a truly great storyline. After that ending I absolutely can’t wait to get my hands on book two.

Well worth the cliffhanger

Mind your step, there is a rather large cliffhanger at the end of this book. It is well worth it, however, and as expected, has me itching to read the next in this series. This book is well crafted, with a rich world, complex plot line, and a bit of steam - although there is less of that than I expected, despite the heads up at the start of the book.

There are a couple of odd moments where Essie has Silver, our FMC, breaking the 4th wall with the reader. What makes it odd is that it only happens a couple of times, rather than being a regular stylistic choice. There are also a couple of editorial errors, which will most likely be corrected soon, if they haven’t already. The intimate scenes are a bit abrupt, leaving the reader with a bit of a ‘what the?’ scramble, which does detract somewhat from a smooth reading experience.

Silver’s skills are definitely under-utilised in this book, and while there are reasons for this, I look forward to seeing what she can do when she is at full potential.

Full disclosure: I was given an ARC of the book, however this review is my own honest opinion.

This was the first of a three book series and one of the first times I've read a 'reverse harem/why choose romance style. At first I didn't see any difference from your typical romancey novel but it becomes more apparent as the story progresses in book 2 and 3. What I liked and kept me reading was the as the author puts it 'snarky and ridiculous found family' aspect along with the individual characters themselves. Things I could do without was the constant foul language. I don't mind a few f'bombs here and there and select cussing but this was just excessive. When I hear individuals replacing cussing for everyday nouns and verbs it just comes across as crass and a lack of decent vocabulary skills. I understand she was wanting to portray a certain type of individual with certain characters but it seemed like all the characters had more then a few moments of being crass themselves. Which then blurs the line between them and their differences.

Overall a decent read and one that sucked me into the next book.

It was fine to me. I'll read the next one for a definite opinion.

I liked the way the MC was independant and like a mommy bear to others, but at the same times I found the three mages really ungrateful.
Zeph just couldn't help growling every page, Roscoe was the picture of a playboy with no constancy and basically the two of them couldn't help but be perceive by me many times as just arrogant rich pr*cks.
At least Zeph has some alchemy going on with the MC.
As for Fabian, while I understand his choice (read to know what is), it was kind of a d*ck move to me, bc seriously of all things he could'have chose he chose this and this placed the MC as just a nobody to him (at least do something for her too). + well he was kind but maybe it's because his physical state but he didn't appear that hot or attracting to me ?
+ not only she did her part of the deal, she only helped them with other things and in return they didn't even did all their part of the deal and never proposed something more.
So being honest, Dante was the best character of this book, the most hot and helpful one, and I hope he'll be even more present.

Rcvd an advanced reader copy from booksirens for giving my two cents. We meet Witch Silver who was cast out by her parents and the rest of the pretentious idiots who run the show, by having illegal magic like necromancy. At age 12 Silver learned the ropes of the street with her friends who are her family. She takes jobs to help supper everyone. Silver can harness the powers of anyone she comes in contact with and she's hidden who she is for the past decade except for her friend Rook. 2 mages (Zeph and Roscoe) are looking to employ Silver due to her blood magic....pfft...if only they knew. Their 3rd musketeer is sick from a blood curse and it's getting worse. Silver knows she shouldn't help but deep down she doesn't want Fabian to suffer and untimely decides to help. There is more to Fabians curse than meets the eye. Vampires seem to be the cause of it not to mention Roscoes uncle who turned her away from santuary at 12, has smtg up his sleeve. Will Silver find how to end thr blood curse without revealing who she really is?

Silver is a rare and unique witch that has been shunned by her family and thrown out like trash. She has learned how to survive and along the way collected other outcasts and created her own family. Silver is approached by Roscoe and Zeph, seeking her help to heal their friend Fabian who is dying from a blood curse. If any of them knew the true extent of her powers, they would think twice about asking for her help. They propose an offer she can’t refuse when it will better the lives of her family as well as saving Fabian. Things don’t go as planned and feelings get involved. There is chemistry and an undeniable pull between Silver, Fabian, Roscoe and Zeph. This does end on a cliffhanger. Can’t wait to see what is in store for them next.

Outlaw Witch was my first book by the author. I wasn't sure what to expect, but as I started, I was captivated by Silver and her found family.

I was astounded to find out which of the 3 men is the one she met in the alley way - not the one I expected based on how he later acts.

I loved how the story built and we get glimpses of the character's past.

Ending was mind blowing in what it revealed and the steps characters need to take to make it out.

Note said story ended on a cliffhanger, but I didn't think it was a bad one. Made sense end story there. Doesn't leave you with a will they make it. More of a now what is going to happen next.

I am eagerly awaiting book 2. I can't wait to know what happens next.

Absolutely LOVED this!

This was such a fantastic start to a new series, and I was enthralled. I was a bit bummed to find out that the other books aren’t out just yet, but I am excited to continue this series!

Silver has lived on the outskirts of society with a few friends who also were thrown away from their families for the powers they have. Silver has a VERY unique power that can absorb other supernatural’s powers. She is asked by Roscoe and Zeph, who think she is just a blood mage, to help with their best friend Fabian who has a curse that is slowly eating him away. Silver feels bad for them and decides to help but never imagined that she would start to develop feelings for the three of them.

The ending was heartbreaking, so I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Love these characters! A vagabond group of kids with questionable backgrounds, and 3 members of the underbelly of a city that is elitist and discriminatory to different, get together to save a life from a mysterious curse.

Silver wants to save everybody, much to her detriment at times. Her lovable found family keeps her grounded. The love and relationships can be felt as you follow along. Roscoe and his puppy energy are hilarious. V is grumpy always and serious, eager to keep Roscoe on task. Fabian is light. The chemistry is off the charts, and it was mildly hot in very unexpected places. Loved the story and all the challenges faced by these characters. The sacrifices made were heart breaking. I cried. Great book. Can't wait to continue the story!!

Silver is a witch who has been abandoned by her family because of her magic. She is a sponge with the ability to absorb the powers of others, and on top of that she is an illegal outlaw who’s spent the past decade on society's fringes, concealing her true nature and struggling to survive. Everything is going as normally planned until one day when she’s is asked by Roscoe and Zeph to help them save the other member of their group. Silver is torn between helping save Fabian from his deadly blood curse and her survival . What is she going to do? I guess you will have to read Outlaw Witch (Enchanted Bargains: Book 1) by Essie Suter to find out. I received this book via BookSirens as an ARC for my honest opinion and I honestly loved it. I would definitely recommend that you read book.

I've read too many books lately that didn't really grab my attention. This book definitely did. I absolutely adore Silver, and while I would have preferred Zeph to be a little more than the "grumpy one with the difficult past" in terms of reverse harem tropes, I have hope that he'll develop into a more complex character in future books.

I wish that I could rate this as five stars because I felt that the story deserves it, but the book could do with a final edit. There are a few too many grammar gremlins and typos that a final read-through could resolve.

Wow talk about non-stop action and intensity this book has it all. The romantic interests are very much there (I love the reverse harem books) the action is continuous and runs at peak level all the way through the story. The world building is some of the best I’ve ever read. It’s got hero’s who are maybe not quite perfect all the time and the bad guy is really nasty. I just can’t wait for the next book I’m very anxiously waiting to see what happens to Fab, Seb and Silver and I’m sure Zeph and Rosco will figure out how to join back up after all it is a reverse harem. The uncle is just disgusting tho 🤮.

Seriously loved this book! Epic first book to a new series.

OMG everything about this book was a joy to read.

Each of the characters i enjoyed learning about. I do have to say though, it would have been nice to learn a bit more about Silver's family more like we did with the guys.

The story line itself, was reasonably fast paced which was good. It was an easy to read book and I totally fell into the story from the very start which I have become use to with this Author.

Can't wait to see where the Author takes us with this series.

I love Silver🥰 she’s funny, snarky, protective of her made family and a strong, independent, resourceful and powerful witch. She lives on the edge, living day to day fighting for survival. Three rich alpha mages need her help, Fabian is dying of a monstrous blood curse. Only Silver can possibly save him, this is terrifying and deadly. Watching her and her mages is heartbreaking as they learn to trust each other and frantically hunt for a possible cure against mounting difficulties. This story is spellbinding, it makes you heart pound with fear and wonder. This is one of the best stories I’ve ever read and I can’t wait for the next book.
