This is a great read! PNR/Fantasy RH with multiple supe types. Multi-POV. Loved all of the different personalities & relationships. Mystery and suspense. Academy/University setting. Plenty of angst. And while there's angst and plenty of gut-twisting, heart-wrenching moments, there are so many moments which had me laughing out loud, I loved every minute of it! The storyline went quickly but didn't feel rushed. The perfect amount of spice, action, & mystery. I can't wait to read the next book.

Wow! This was a fun book to read.
Please check TW before reading this book as there are a few.

Pisces Blessed follows Callie (also known as Calliope or Calypso) who was orphaned as a child. When we meet her, she is working at a strip club but really only as a waitress. She definitely could dance, but dislikes being the center of attention.
Working one night, she meets the MMC: Sebastian. Sebastian is half fae and half human. In this magic system that means Sebastian basically has 2 different people inside him with one always fighting for control. His fae side is Unseelie, who are dark fae. I thought it was really refreshing that he wasn't described as being like 6'4 (not that there's anything wrong with that), he was more "not too short, not too tall". No spoilers, but Sebastian makes terrible choices with how he treats Callie. This is where a lot of the TW come in the story.
As we get further into the book, we meet Garrick (also known as Dartannian later on) who is a gentlemanly elf prince *swoon*. After the hurtful behavior from Sebastian, Garrick was a welcome addition to the story. After this, some crazy sh*t happens, Callie learns some wild facts about herself, and eventually there is a HEA.

All in all, I was thoroughly entertained throughout the book. It is a shorter book, so there wasn't a lot of time to explain the MMCs backstories, but we do get some information on them that is relevant to the story. The magic system was a little confusing at first, but I do think that the plot and context clues helped a lot.

The spice started at about 30% (perfection) and there is a plot twist right around 50% (again, perfection). The spice was *chef's kiss*.
Just something personal that I loved about this book was the Sleep Token song that Callie danced to. I love Sleep Token, so it was cool to see them in a book. As Callie said about them: "Where do they get off sounding so f*cking enchanting and haunting in the same breath?" Callie girl, same.

My zodiac sign is also Pisces, so that was another fun element to the story that I enjoyed.
I am grateful to have received an ARC copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

Please make sure you read the trigger warning before reading this book, there Re a few dark ones there.

This is the second book in the Dawn of the Zodiacs series and is a standalone. I really enjoyed the completely different take on the world from the previous book.

Callie/Calypso think she's human, but as an orphan, she knows nothing about her past. Turns out she isn't human after all and she has fated mates. One morally grey mate, with red flags and a split personality, and one sweet mate with a royal background - that we never actually find out about. There is a lot of heat between Callie and her fated mates throughout the book.

The ending felt a bit rushed. I would have liked more info on the background of the guys, and how they ended up where they did.

The dub-con / CNC is from her mate, and I think the writing was good in showing the scenes from both sides, I just never fully forgave the guy for what happened, personally I just couldn't come back from it, and it occurs early on in the story.

- dub-con / CNC / non-con

Whew. This one was darker than the previous ones, so please check the trigger warnings before jumping in. I definitely related more to this FMC, because she questioned wtf was happening the whole time. There is plenty of spice, this focused more on the romance. She did have the ritual to complete but didn’t have to chase down the relics which freed up room for a more in depth romance.

❤️ Tropes ❤️
💋 reverse harem
💋 fated mates
💋 forced bonding
💋 paranormal romance

Callie is just a waitress at her adoptive mother’s strip club. That’s what she thinks at least until a half fae shows up at the club and says she is his mate. Hard pass. Besides, the last time she had a big O, someone drowned. Water seems to go crazy whenever she is aroused, so she just swears it off. That doesn’t mean she’s not human, just a quirk.

Overall I enjoyed this book. It’s spicy, inventive and the characters and storyline are compelling. Callie is an orphan with no knowledge of her background or her magical destiny. Sebastian is a man who struggles controlling his Unseelie side and unfortunately crosses morally grey lines. Dartannian is an Elf Prince who was banished from his home but has a heart of gold. Both men are fated mates to Callie and thus there is a lot of heat and spice! I liked getting all three characters point of view although I would have appreciated more background stories on each character and more time on developing the chemistry and relationship between all three fated mates.

Pretty please with cherries on top make sure you read all of the TW's first because if not this may not be the ride you signed up for.

Calypso, or Callie for short is a human in a world of supernatural or so she thinks. She lost her parents and doesn't know anything about her past until one day her mate walks into the club where she works and then everything changes. The first mate she encounters is what you'd class as morally grey and some of the things he does might be hard for some to reconcile with so keep that in mind going in.

I felt like a couple of details may have been rushed or overlooked but on a whole, I really enjoyed the story and can't wait for book three of the shared world to come out.

[Brittany Smith · Rating 3 out of 5]

Callie (later Calypso) thinks she's human, but she's an orphan so she knows nothing about her past. Later it turns out that she isn't human after all and she has two fated mates. One mate is morally dark grey, with some major red flags and a split personality. Then there is the sweet mate with a royal background - though we never actually find out much about either one of them.

Now to start this off I did not see any trigger warning page or any notations of one in the blurb. I will say there are some dark themes going on here. It didn't sit well with me and I'm usually not bothered by anything. I wanted to see how the story went, though I then felt like I had to read it- which is never a nice feeling.

The characters all have their own personality and they really become real in your mind. Great descriptions are going on and there is a promise, if the book was longer, of more. The author does a great job of making you feel the characters and the splits in personalities. The writing does flow quite well, though as it has been said the end was a bit rushed and it would have been nice to have had more- even an epilogue for a catch-up/wind-up.

All in all, this book was okay. It was an interesting addition to the series and interesting to see where the constellation Pisces factored in with the coming fight.

[Sibbywibby · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was intrigued by the premise of this book and really enjoyed reading it. The characters were interesting and I enjoyed Callie's back and forth. Some morally grey characters/situations but nothing too wild and while the plotline wasn't groundbreaking it was compelling enough to keep me reading. The spice was definitely there and while the world building and tension could have been expanded on, it makes sense given that this is part of a larger collection.

Overall it was an enjoyable read (although check your trigger warnings as always).

Wow!! Pls check triggers!! This my first introduction to fantasy and wow wow wow. So well written. The characters were complex and relatable (even tho yes they aren’t human lol) I did think the storyline was rushed. I avoid spice because most of the time it feels like a horny teenager writing in her room (I know I used to write wattpad books 😂) but Remys writing felt more grown up and well thought out. Overall I did enjoy reading this and would recommend to anyone looking to get into fantasy and spice.

[Lauren Olmstead · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is awesome! I really enjoyed almost everything about it! I don't like how short the celestial being was to calypso and how she didn't really give any info or answers but at the same time it was kind of funny! I also hate Calypso has had such a rough time of it but the story was really great!

trigger warnings:
Dubcon
Noncon
CNC
Suicidal thoughts
And kidnapping or well she's an adult w/e lol napping but the bad kind.

If these are hard for you probably don't read it but not gonna lie they were a bit hard for me to read, despite that I really enjoyed this one!

Second book in the Shared world about the Zodiacs, Pisces Blessed, was fast paced and maybe even a little bit rushed towards the end.
It was a great story (mind your content information, your mental health is important), but I did feel the whole Zodiac ritual and all was a bit downplayed and would have benifitted from more page space.
At times I wanted to unalive Sebastian so hard, but I’ll let you judge for yourself. Dartannian on the other hand, swoon!

[Aimee Convoy · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the 2nd book in the Dawn of the Zodiac series and I’ve got to say I like the difference between the two books. Please read the trigger warnings before reading. This book has a bit of everything; from romance, spice, mystery, suspense and it will take you on an emotional journey. I love all the different povs and how the characters bond and how this book is a bit darker.

[Carolina · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed the multiple POV's and the story flowed nicely. Very easy to read and a great little escape from the real world.

Fantastic.

I enjoyed Callie's book. While there are some dark themes, make sure to read the trigger warnings. I am enjoying this magical world and the unique stories of the constellations.

[Brittany · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book and Calypso, Sebastian and Dartannian. I loved the multiple POVs. It was a great quick read with spice, fated mates, action and mystery. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

In addition to being a fun paranormal romance, there was a great story in this book with strong characters.
