Titans of Terranea #1

The Seduction in Starlight

Rate this book
Torment and seduction wasn’t what I expected when the stars led me home.

When given the chance, do you trust fate, or only yourself?

When I was fourteen, my whole existence was shredded, setting me on a path to a new future… if I could survive my training.

Four years later, my powers are under control, and I am ready to return to my life on Naesala. However, as I enter Terranea Academy with my best friend in tow, I find life is very different from when I left.

The unexpected ire of jealous females surrounds me thanks to the unwanted attention of three males at the academy: my long lost dragon crush, the mysterious loner mage, and my irresistible incubus step-brother. I am determined to overcome and survive, but the shell I’ve built for myself doesn’t seem as tough as it once did.

As the bullying worsens, I find myself in increasingly dire situations, and being on constant alert throws me into a life of living hell I long to escape. I do my best to ignore them and deflect their attacks, but I have come to realize one thing: I can’t rely on anyone else.

What happens when I find myself truly alone? Will the stars guide me home, or will I fall at their feet, defeat staining my worn down soul?

This will be a dark romance series where the female main character won't choose between her love interests. For trope and warning details, please visit the author's website.

FUCKING BITCH ASS MOTHER FUCKING CLIFFHANGER! HOW DARE YOU NATASHA PIERCE, HOW FUCKING DARE YOU!!!!!!

Ehem *Clears throat* Okiedokie, now that I’ve finally gotten cursing the day Natasha was born out of my system let’s get on with my review of The Seduction in Starlight.

I must, begrudgingly after that stunt Natasha pulled at the end, admit that I couldn’t have asked for a better book to start my 2024 reading with. Honestly I LOVE Harbor and this book kept me hooked from page one to the very end when Natasha ripped my heart out and stomped all over it. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU FUCKING DID! *Growls*

I have this obsession with incubi so anyone that knows me won’t be shocked when I say this, but I licked Kane and he’s mine. Natasha owes me for the emotional distress she caused so I’m cashing in and claiming him. (To be clear this claim doesn’t cover the dr bill I’ll be sending her. I will 100% need higher blood pressure medication after reading The Seduction in Starlight and likely a visit to the cardiologist as well.)

Now to list my favorite things about this book in bullet points so y’all can have a TLDR:
•Academy setting but everyone is 18+
•Why choose
•Stepbrother
•Supportive female bestie… (I also need some therapy, thanks again Natasha)
•Enemies to lovers
•Bullying (technically outside the love interests but also kinda in??)
•Somnophilia
•MM
•Best friend’s asshole older brother (he better fucking GROVEL! On his KNEES!)
•Obsessed hero who *lightly* stalks heroine (Listen he’s just watching her… while she sleeps. He’s like an upgraded Edward Cullen. Lmao!)
•A mystery, one that KILLED OFF SOMEONE I FUCKING GREW ATTACHED TO!

Sooo like you should totally buy this book if you enjoy cursing out fuck boy MC’s and having your heart torn from your chest only to have the author take a bite out of it while laughing in your damn face as you stare on in horror at the chaos they have crea-… Whoops got a little carried away there… in conclusion The Seduction in Starlight was a solid five star read. *smiles like a totally non-crazy person.*

This slow burn book was absolutely amazing. It has a lot of action, plot, and smut to keep me on the hook. I love this slow burn book because it keeps me intrigued and wanting to know what happens in the second book.

⭐️ 5 🌶️ 4

When I tell you I LOVED this book… I LOVED THIS BOOK! I cannot wait for second book and it’s supposed to be out this year!! Eeeeek! I could not put it down and read it in two days.

This is the first MMFM book that I’ve read and there was some parts that was kinda weird for me to read but the plot and the spice was sooooo good! It’s so well written and I love the characters and I’m excited to see more of them… hopefully sooner rather than later 🤪

I just want to start off by saying, I was a beta/alpha reader for this book so I had to wait for chapters. That being said, all you arc readers were lucky that you didn’t have to wait like I did! And thank you Natasha for this opportunity, love you!

Anyways, let’s get down to it.. if you like authors that tear out your soul, stomp on it, and then cackle while doing it.. Natasha is the author for you! This book gave me so many emotions and I was ready to put my phone on life alert. Some emotions I was not aware of that I had.

Let’s get into the actual review! I loved Harbor. I saw myself in her.. a lot. I can talk about how hot Silas is but I refuse to speak about him in any other way. Period. Which then brings me to Kane. *Smells fresh roses and goes into daydream trance* To put it into simple words, I would like Kane to stomp on me and I would thank him 1688 times. In more complex words, he could do anything to me and I would be okay with it. An incubus?!? That dances?!? And can feed off of me through sexy time?!?REALLY?!? Sign me up!! Lastly, Talon. He is very very cute and that was a good thing to add between the dominant “fuck you” egos.

I loved the story, the characters, the character development, and how much time Natasha put into it. She made a whole new world from scratch and it was amazing. I love sirens a lot so I was very excited to finally read a good spicy book with one in it. She also never fails with a really good reverse harem and multiple hot men that make you want to scream in various ways.

I would recommend this book to anyone that likes reverse harem, paranormal, dark, and enemies to lovers romance. Or all of them! Also to people who that likes to love hate one character and love the rest! Overall, I loved this book a lot and will continue to read anything and everything that Natasha writes. The end.

Phwoar… this was a spicy little treat!!

This was my first read by Natasha and it was a selection of all my favourite tropes, multiple men and spicy spice, all wrapped up into a delectable tasty treat.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Reading it over the space of 3 days (had adult responsibilities otherwise it would have been finished a lot faster!!) it kept me enthralled throughout. I loved the plot, adored the characters and could perfectly visualise the setting!

This is a dark, why choose paranormal romance. I recommend checking the TW before starting this. The content may not be for everyone.

I do love a dark paranormal romance. I have a thing for any kind of paranormal creature, they are my jam. I love paranormal smut.

The plot was fantastic; I loved the concepts within it. I enjoyed watching the story play out and the different characters interact. I struggled to follow the story a couple of times as it felt muddled at certain points with a little too much going on but it didn’t detract from what was overall a great read. The world building was amazing, Natasha described the setting so vividly. This book gave me all the feels from start to finish; as with any bully/enemies to lovers romance, it brought a lot of strong emotions to the surface. It was full of hate, angst and sexual tension/frustration. It made me swoon, want to punch things on multiple occasions, want to cry, sigh with contentment and continuously rub my thighs together! There was a lot of emotional turmoil going on.

Harbor was sweet but not too sweet to take any stick off anyone, especially any men. She oozed confidence and I loved that. She had her insecurities but don’t we all? I found her very likeable and her bestie; LOVED her. I was all on board for this very relatable friendship.
Silas, Talon and Kane… where do I begin? Three gorgeous, obsessive, possessive, brooding specimens. I’m very team Talon and Kane, Silas not so much; like I actually loathed him at certain points.

Would recommend to those on the search for a dark paranormal romance that will give you all the feels ♥️

Oh my goodness!

All I can say is Wow! This is my first read of this author and let me say it is amazing. Everything about this book pulled me in and I couldn't put it down. The main FMC is Harbor and I love her. She has had some body issues when she was younger but as she has grown she has become more confident. She still struggles some but I am enjoying reading her love her body. So Harbor is a Syren and she found out when she was fourteen. Her mom had to take her somewhere else, down below in the water, for her to learn and control her powers so she does harm others

Four years later, she returns to reunite wuth her best friend and go to the Academy that they both always talked about going to. Along the way, she meets Silas, who is her best friend's brother and childhood crush, Kane, her new to her step-brother, and Talon an intriverted boy who is intrigued with her. Everyone has some sort of powers from being dtagons to mages. There is some bullying in this book so please check the triggers before reading.

Many things keep happening to Hatbor and have no idea who is trying to get rid of her. Trying not to be too vague but don't want to give anything away. Loved this book and cannot wait for the next because that cliffhanger about killed me.

' It's time. Time to give up and join the stars. '

I was not expecting to enjoy this so much! I honestly could not put it down. Devoured it in just a few hours and I'm salivating for more.
The plot was incredible, the story flowed effortlessly and the twists were super unexpected. I adored each and every character, each were introduced in detail.
I am obsessed with Harbor and I'm so upset that the world seems to be against her.

The smut, good lord. That was mighty strong. My thighs are probably sticky and i am not even ashamed. Damn it's hot in here.

That cliff-hanger. OMFG. Absolutely not. I was screaming and crying. Please tell me that didn't happen. No.
Who was that? Why? I need book 2 ASAP.

Check Tw's before you read.

Well I am going to miss the boys..the FMC not so much. She has that vibe...being flat out stupid at times. For a RH this was very juvenile and shallow, I know they form a connection, but it wasn't built well.I know maybe I'm petty but toward the end Kane went to a bar to get drunk, having his mask on, he ordered shots and drank them with straw?? Who does that? It was silly.
What I liked was the setting, the modern twist to it, the two suns it was an interesting world. There was a hint of a prophecy looming which is compelling too. Overall I am hesitant about the second book..if I haven't forgotten about it I may check it out.

The Seduction in Starlight is the first book in the Titans Of Terranea series by Natasha Pierce.

💜 secondary academy (18 and over)
💜 best friend support
💜 bully
💜 mysteries
💜 🌶🌶🌶🌶 spice

Harbor’s life changed drastically when she was about to turn fourteen. You see, she was a syren and apparently so was her mother. And at the age of fourteen is when syrens mature and gain their power. Also, her dad had no clue. So when her mother had to move her to their homeland in the water, her father also ended up divorcing her mom, and she had to leave her best friend. So four years later, she finally gets her wish to go to Terranea Academy with her best friend. But what happens when things seem to go against her? Will she be able to keep going to school? Will she figure out why she’s being treated the way she is?

This story just pulls you in with the world building and character building. This is also told from a multi-person perspective so you get intimate experience from the main character’s perspectives. There are so many mysteries happening as well as egos getting in the way. But beware, there is a cliffhanger at the end of this installment of the series. I can’t wait to read the next book!

Okay wow! This was genuinely so good and I was NOT expecting that ending! I loved the tension between Harbor and these boys. Though I could do without Silas' toxic commentary and actions, I have a feeling he'll work it out soon.. Talon is just the sweetest little cinnamon roll. And Kane is obviously the wild one. There's so many things that I can't wait to have answers to like, what is up with Harbor's dad? And WILL BETHANY BE OKAY? Truly so excited for the next book in this series!

ARC Review:

I mean this is book one and there is so much I need to find out! This book has everything I’m wanting in a story, that’s for sure! I am so good with a slow burn but this one is different because we get erotic dreams and those are so hot!

I don’t want to spoil anything but we have a siren, Harbor, who comes into her powers at the age of 14 and has to be sent away with her mother because when a siren comes into her power and isn’t trained to control it, it’s dangerous to be around her. So she gets sent off to learn how to control her powers and that put a strain and distance for her father who was quite ugly about not knowing what his wife and daughter were. I mean to be fair, Harbor didn’t know either. But she comes back to go to finish out school and has to get reacquainted with her father and the town and her bestie Bethany.

This is a why choose paranormal romance with Mages, Incubus, dragon shifters and so much more. I mean we have sports, combat and underground fights and magic Mike! 😂 more importantly enemies to lusters! And from what I can tell the men are not only wanting Harbor but are lusting for each other and THAT is my kind of why choose!

I am so needing book two because the author, the lovely Natasha, left us on a WTF cliffy!!! I need book two MEOW!!!

This is my first book by this author and I’m glad to have found it! I just added her other books to my tbr after finishing this book. This book was great! I love sirens, but it’s hard for me to find siren books that I can get into. I loved this one! It definitely helps that it’s an RH because those are my favorites. I feel like I haven’t read an academy/bully romance book in forever so this book just made me very happy with that as well. I love Harbor. She’s so sweet but doesn’t take crap from anyone. So far I really like Kane and Talon as well. As of right now, I’m on team sacrifice Silas in a volcano. Sorry not sorry. He’s an a$$. Who has a psycho girl bully a random girl you hooked up with just because she knew your name? How does her knowing his name equate to her stalking him? This boy is WILD and way too full of himself. I do have faith that Natasha will make me love him later. Right now though? He’s d3@d to me. The smut in this book is 🔥 and it’s mostly just in dreams! I can’t even begin to imagine how hot it’ll be in real life. That cliffhanger was crazy! I can’t wait for a book two! Also the cover is so pretty!

Seduction in Starlight is book one of Titans of Terranea by Natasha Pierce. It is a RH/Why Choose. Be sure to check the warnings as it does include MM and bullying and more. Our fmc Harbor is a Syren. The spice gets off the charts when she meets Talon, Kane and Silas. It was a great read that I devoured. I can't wait for book 2!

I’m not even sure where to start. This book is S P I C Y in a well written I can see it in my dreams sort of smut type. The story draws you in (sucks you in..?) holds you around the throat and whispers good girl. And Ive read cliff hangers before but damn. Damn damn damn. That was where we ended?! Damn. I really hope book 2 is like SOON.

This book was absolutely fantastic! I have never read a book that has made me feel so many emotions, so deeply, before. This was the first book I’ve ever read with a curvy FMC and can I say I LOVED Harbor. She is so kind and unique and a real fighter! I can’t recommend this book enough!

Oh this book was amazing! Wow! I can’t wait for the second.

I read this in a day, it’s hard to put down. This is a dark bully romance and slow burn. Harbor was so great. She was sweet and strong. Just a fun character to read about. I really like Talon. I can’t wait to read more about the other characters because a certain someone needs to grovel.

I devoured this book in one day! The ending had me completely devastated and truthfully I’m not emotionally or mentally prepared for what happens next. Harbor is such a kind hearted & loyal FMC who always puts the needs of everyone else before her own, even when they don’t deserve it.

The seduction in starlight is a slow burn fantasy romance with bullying & the best smut to match an incredible storyline. I’m anxiously waiting for book 2 to be released, I need to know how Harbor’s story continues!

Wow ! I read this book in record time. This book completely hooked me in and I felt like I couldn’t read it fast enough. It was a slow burn yet the plot was a 5/5 for me. I cannot wait for book 2 because I have so many questions and I need the super spicy scenes that I know will be showing up very soon. This book had some spicy scenes already, and man were they good 🥵… but I cannot wait for more of it !!

I have so much that I want to say about this book and my thoughts will be all over the place so I am apologizing now.

The main troupes you need to be aware of are enemies to lovers, bullying, mm and curvy fmc.

I will say that I screamed, cried and punched my pillow while reading this book.
It has been a while since I read a book in one day and I FLEW THROUGH THIS BOOK.
I inhaled this book like I was thirsty woman in the desert.
I started at 9:30am and finished at 10:30pm because you know life be lifing haha.
This is a paranormal why choose that has syrens, dragons, incubus, mages, witch's and so much more.
This book starts off with Harbor finding out she is a syren and she has to leave with her mother in order to control her powers. Her departure wasn't done on the best of terms and she has to leave her father and her best friend for four years until she was able to control her powers and back to the land of the dry haha.
This book has so much going on and the spicy scenes leaves you thirsty as hell.
You will meet three men who will make you drool, swoon and ready to fight.
Talon is so sweet and cute.
Kane knows he is the shit and faults it.
Silas......we not talk about him lol.
I will insist that you read the warnings because there are some things that did make me a bit uncomfortable. Please be aware that this is a slow burn bully romance and the bullying from a certain person pissed me off to no degree. I was ready to go inside the book and beat the crap out of them.

Talk about spice! If you like spice, this is definitely the book for you. For the trope and warning details, you should probably check out the author’s website prior to proceeding. These details were provided on Amazon prior to downloading. However, if you were to pick this book up on a whim, they were on the book. I tried to find out if there were any warnings inside, but I could have missed them somewhere. I just didn’t seem to find it. If you didn’t know, this is a bully romance to lovers story. This is a dark romance novel, and so this is the storyline that you will find in this book. If you are not aware of what dark romance is, you probably might not like this book or appreciate it for what it is. I’m fairly new to dark romance. However, I am open-minded to new genres and styles out there, and I am opening my horizons to new and different stories. I enjoy the plot of the story. I enjoy that the author provides good details and backstories. I feel like there are several plots going on in this narration. This is an RH type story, if you’re unaware of what this is, look it up. I think what makes this interesting is that it still falls under fantasy with the mystical, magical elements included. I do appreciate all of that being in the story because I am a fantasy girly. There’s definitely slowburn in this story, but the different ways each character is connected to our FMC, Harbor, are unique. They all have some kind of connection different to hers. The relationships some of these men have with her are a bit annoying to me, but I believe I’m frustrated. I feel like the age of these young adults trips me out because I’m not sure if the behavior is somewhat “normal” for someone or to be expected of that age. I don’t speak for everyone that young or that age, obviously. However, this is a review coming from someone who’s in their mid 30s, maybe I’m feeling a little disconnected with the characters due to this. I think I’m here for it with everyone else when I say this… THE CLIFFHANGER *makes a face,* lol. What the actual heck! It’s intense, and that’s all I’ve got to say about it. I’ll leave it at that. I’ll be waiting to read the second book, given the chance, and I’ll definitely be reviewing it!

My Rating: ★★★★★

The Seduction In Starlight by Natasha Pierce is an intoxicating journey through a world where fate and desire collide. From the very first page, readers are drawn into a story that is as captivating as it is intense.

The protagonist, whose life was irrevocably altered at fourteen, is a character of remarkable depth. Her journey back to Naesala and her entrance into Terranea Academy are marked by trials and tribulations that showcase her growth and resilience. The unexpected attention from her long-lost dragon crush, a mysterious loner mage, and her irresistible incubus step-brother adds layers of complexity and intrigue to the narrative.

One of the novel’s greatest strengths is the dynamic interplay between the protagonist and the three male characters. Each is meticulously developed, with unique personalities and histories that enrich the story. The chemistry is electric, making the romantic and seductive elements of the book especially compelling.

Pierce's writing is both evocative and immersive, painting vivid scenes that bring the world of Naesala to life. The pacing is masterful, with each chapter building tension and deepening the plot, leading to a cliffhanger that leaves readers craving more.

Despite the intensity, the book also explores themes of trust, resilience, and self-reliance. The protagonist's struggle with bullying and her journey to overcome it is portrayed with sensitivity and insight, adding emotional depth to the narrative.

In conclusion, The Seduction In Starlight is a beautifully crafted novel that offers a perfect blend of romance, suspense, and emotional growth. Natasha Pierce has created a world and characters that are unforgettable. While the cliffhanger ending is unexpected and somewhat frustrating, it only serves to heighten anticipation for the next installment. If you’re looking for a story that will sweep you off your feet and leave you yearning for more, this is a must-read.

I enjoyed so much about this and it has definitely left me wanting more as the action ramped up towards the end. There were twists in the latter half that I didn't see coming at all as the book primarily focuses on establishing Harbor and her relationships in the book while leaving us on a truly massive cliffhanger at the end.

I enjoyed the mythology of this but wanted more on things like the hierarchy and the different types of magic as it hooked me really quickly. I wasn't quite sure why Harbor's mum hid her syren nature and if Harbor's own syren abilities were being kept secret at the academy too. She didn't dye her hair like her mother but it seemed like it was a secret she went for training so I was a little confused as to where everything stood.

I did like how the characters were all crossing paths with each other separately outwith their connection to Harbor and how their relationships developed with each other as the book progresses. Bethany is an absolute charmer and I love how she is Team Harbor from the get go despite their separation. Silas can get in the bin and stay there - how he can feel no guilt over the bullying he instigated and everything that is happening to Harbor really started to get to me as he is not a patch on the other MMCs, Talon and Kane. The grovel totally needs to be epic after this!

I still have so many questions after reading this and I am already hoping the wait for book two isn't too long. What is the story with Harbor's dad? Is Isabella too good to be true (I hope not as Harbor is due a break!) How is Harbor flying under the radar at school (so much so that no one seems to know her name!) if her dad is so important? And what karmic retribution is planned for Colette and Silas as they both deserve it!

My interpretation of the star system;
3 stars - I enjoyed it; would read the author again
4 stars - I really liked it; I am invested and definitely want more from this author/series
5 stars - I loved it; I engaged with this book completely until I finished it and it is one I will re-read

A Magical Experience That Is Just Beginning ✨

So first, I have to say thank you to the author for including a pronunciation guide at the beginning 🙌🏻 I loved knowing how to actually pronounce the names properly for the characters & places. The world that is built in this story is fascinating 😍🌏 This book was a magical fantasy ✨ No, literally, it’s a contemporary magical academy fantasy 😉😝 I did really love it though. I know it’s a cliche thing to say, but seriously, once I started it, I couldn’t seem to stop. The storyline was intriguing, original & exciting, and the characters were multifaceted & full of layers of personality & emotion. I loved Harbor, the FMC. Everything about her, from her magic, to her self confidence issues, to her sweet spirit, just made me wanna wrap her in a hug & give her all the advice on how to adult & deal with idiots 😠 Watching her get bullied was heartbreaking & relatable, and made me wanna smack so many people 🤬 As for our MMCs, I had mixed feelings on Kane, Silas, and Talon. I see the good, the frustrations, the passion, the underestimation, the mystery, and I see everything they could be to Harbor shining through in each interaction, good & bad ones alike. I see all the possibilities before us, and with all the chemistry flowing between Harbor & the guys, you just know it’s gonna be a full blown forest fire once everyone is full on committed to each other. I tend to stay away from series until they’re complete, but this story sounded too interesting to pass up. While I may be going crazy now after that torturous ending 🤯😭, I have faith that the next book will make up for it 🙌🏻❤️✨
✨ Oh, and may I please have a virtual closet….PLEASSSSSE 🙏🏼😝

I have a lot of feelings about this book. I’ll try to summarize them here. Building a new world up from scratch in a PNR is hard.

What I loved: I love Harbor’s name. I liked the stepbrother trope. I like the mystery of the multiple subplots we don’t know much about yet. Her father, her kind vs. the everyone else (I don’t want to give stuff away, so I’m being vague). The mystery that is Talon. Who the actual aggressor is… I liked Kane’s duplicity and how Harbor found out. I liked how the story had LOTS of spice, without actually having the group together AT ALL. Figure that one out! ha!


What I didn’t love: The miscommunication- if Harbor would have just let Silas know who she was, or if Bethany would have disregarded Harbor and just told him… and I kind of find it hard to believe that he didn’t hear from his parents or somewhere that she was Bethany’s best friend from childhood. This dragged out in this book. There seemed to be a lot of heavy dialogue, a lot said between Kane and her and even Talon and her, and yet, she kept this ONE THING from Silas. At times, I thought Harbor had power, and was strong, and had some hidden power she had to hold back or at least it was alluded to… but she just seemed cowered and weak under the bullying. Its like she was giving up, and then hiding from everyone. Not even angry in her head… no hint of fire… I’m hoping her strength shows through in upcoming books. I needed some hint of what she was going to be. I feel like some of the MM connections felt a bit random… like maybe they could have waited a bit until they were a bit more cohesive group…. Or had a bit more connection, especially with Talon….

The story has potential. Can’t wait to see where it goes next, and to see how this smooths out!
