Divided Magic
In the aftermath of a hellish year, Vivian has moved in with her best friend, Adrian, quit drinking, and promised herself that romance is off the table forever.
She’s happy, despite her newfound sobriety manifesting nightmares of the evil that clings to her.
When her well-meaning sister sets her up on a blind date with mysterious Johnny, Vivian is plunged into an unanticipated romance with a soul as scarred as her own. Love is never simple, and Vivian finds herself torn between the allure of a kindred spirit and the deeper bond stirring feelings between her and Adrian.
But her relationships aren’t the only thing conflicted. The lines between dreams and reality blur when her sleep is haunted by chilling messages from a dead man. A man she killed. The time for redemption has run out, and revenge is on the hunt.

Another great book in the series!
Just like the other books it reads really easily and it was fun to be in Vivian's world again.
In this book there was a little less action and more built up to what will happen in the next book and I'm very curious to find out what will happen next now.
I loved the cute moments in this book but also the harder ones that make you think about everything in life.
Definitely a fun read

I read the ARC copy of this kindly provided by
Haven.
Given that it was the 4th in the series and my first ever book by this author, I was able to read it as a standalone without fear of missing
information from the previous books in the
series.
This book threw me into a world of magic and
urban fantasy with spice added. It was sexy, it
was captivating and intriguing. I enjoyed
delving into each characters personality.
My only warning is that it ends on a cliffhanger
and now l'm hungry for book 5!

4.5 stars
Full disclosure, I beta read this a few months ago so I already had most of my big reaction moments then. However, even though I already knew the outcome, I still had those same reactions and feelings this time around!
I was so suspicious of Johnny basically the entire book and I just didn’t trust anything he said or did. He was too good to be true in some ways, and actually kind of bad for Vivian in others. Were my suspicions founded? Well, you’ll have to read it yourself to find out!
But I digress.
Vivian had never been in a healthy relationship of any kind so although she’d been in love before, she didn’t actually recognise it when it was the good kind. The real kind. The unconditional kind. She was so deep in her own denial that she was oblivious to it. And maaaaaan was she blind.
There’s not a huge amount of action in this book as it’s more of a building up to the next. Some characters needed to grow, some things needed to happen, and Vivian needed to have a fair few realisations first, and that’s where most of this book lies. In the build up and the development. The relationships.
Fucking cliffhanger though! It had my thoughts and suspicions RACING! I trust about four characters and that is it. Everyone else is a plant or a bad guy or a distraction! In my mind anyways.
Don’t worry though. I’ve already been begging for book 5 on all our behalf…behalfs? Behalves?
And Haven, I am so touched that you would mention me in your acknowledgements. I’ve truly enjoyed being your sounding board and getting to know you through our almost daily chats 🫶

Fate, lives that are intertwined, soulmates, and self-discovery all come together in this fourth book of the Vivian Foxworthy series, giving you the deepest look yet into what makes Vivian tick and drives her forward. It’s the most honest Vivian has been with herself and the people around her and it paves the way for Vivian to move forward for the first time, content and sure in what she needs and what she still needs to do.
Sober, living with her best friend, and swearing off relationships, Vivian is happy for the first time in a while. Or at least as happy as she can be since being sober allows her nightmares to return and they’re a constant reminder of how far she’s come but also how much evil she’s done that still stains her very soul. A big believer in love, her well-meaning sister sets her up on a blind date. And it doesn’t suck. Johnny is like her kindred spirit, understanding her like no one else, but she’s torn because what she feels for Adrian is alluring, tempting, and it feels deep. Though if she can’t figure out what her dreams mean perhaps the nightmare man, a man she killed, will complete his hunt for her and none of that will matter. Either way her time is running out.
Way less action, Vivian doesn’t even almost die, but somehow, it’s even more satisfying than when she saves someone or solves some magical problem. It could be because I am ecstatic at who she ends up with, he was my pick, or it could be that this feels like the best version of herself Vivian has ever been. Either way this book is a superb addition to the series and I’m even more excited to see what comes next!

Haven?! Haven, how could you make me cry my own tears like this?!
Divided Magic takes off after Bargained Magic, with Vivian in the trenches after her world starts to cave in, once again. Life has been unkind to her but she continues to take the hits even if it means breaking herself down into remnants of herself. With that being said, the path to healing begins and AH!–This. This is what I've been waiting for. If there ever was a character who deserved happiness, it’s Vivian.
Through the process of healing Vivian maintains a friendship with Adrian, who for lack of a better phrase, is her only friend. Their banter continues and the tension between the duo is primed and ready to snap despite Adrian's personal struggles.
I'm definitely an Adrian girlie. I have been since the start 😏
On her road to redemption, Vivian takes a chance on someone new. Johnny relates to her more than anyone else. With that comes a whole package of desire, and it gets 🔥 a few times, iykwim. With that desire lurks something dark, and we know that darkness comes with a risk. I can't say I was disappointed at all by this match-up.
What can I say, im a sucker for something that borders on dangerous 😂
Through all of this, the end of the book left me SHOCKED and dyinggg for the next book.

I am a big fan of this series to I was very excited to have received and ARC for Divided Magic and these are my honest thoughts and opinion. No spoilers.
By this point Vivian has been through SO MUCH, maybe even TOO much. With how the 3rd book ended, I was eagerly awaiting to find out what happens with Aiden and Vivian, and boy do we find out in Divided Magic. I've been rooting for team Adrian, but then also felt for team Johnny as we got to know more of him with Vivian. I was very indecisive between the 2 guys at one point.
Aside from the romance, I appreciated how even though, very unfortunate, Vivian was being haunted from probably one of the worst things she's ever done in her past. We know all the terrible things she and Seth did and those are so me thing that can't just be easily forgotten or heal from.
I can't wait for the next book because that cliffhanger got me.... especially since I was expecting a different scene.... to read lol.

It is always an adventure and a half with Vivian. Though this book wasn’t action packed it had my favorite topic and emotion LOVE!!! And boy did Vivian have some delicious men pinning for her heart. If was so good to finally get to read Johnny after all of Havens teasing Vivian and Johnny connected on another level with their dark magic they were so cute together and their spicy time did not disappoint. And Adrian my baby Adrian him and Vivian’s relationship is like Yin and Yang push and pull angst on 100% and I love them so much! I am not one for a love triangle but these men are someone I would glad be stuck with if I could. It was always good to read Lucy and all the new things that are happening for her and Colin. I can’t wait for the next book and you have to read to see what guy Vivian ends up with and what magical adventure Vivian has coming her way!

Vivian Foxworthy is back! After the events of last year, she's moved in with her best friend Adrian, quit drinking (again) and enjoys being on her own, until her sister Lucy gets her to go on a blind date with the mysterious Johnny. Their darknesses call to each other and for the first time in a long while, Vivian is happy.
But Vivian wasn't Vivian if anything was easy and soon she is torn between two men and haunted by her past.
As always Vivian's story had me hooked from page one. The new love interest is 🔥 (hello shadow s€x magic) and the mysterious threats are piling up to a nerve-wracking cliffhanger. We're getting more insight into Vivian's magic abilities and Adrian's past. I can't wait to see where Vivian's journey will lead her next.

"Divided Magic" by Haven Price is a gripping rollercoaster ride of emotions and suspense. Vivian's journey of self-discovery and redemption, intertwined with the complexities of love and friendship, kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. The introduction of the enigmatic Johnny adds an electrifying new dynamic to the story, while the mounting threats and blurred lines between dreams and reality kept me guessing until the very end. With each page turn, Price masterfully builds tension and intrigue, leaving me eagerly awaiting the next installment.

Divided Magic is what I would call a dark yet cozy urban romantasy. It is twisty and spicy, but also a comfort to read.
I really enjoyed this book as it explores different types of magic such as curse eating, dream magic, love intuition, and so much more! Additionally, the FMC and many of the other characters are extremely flawed. Vivian has given bad guy’s ideas, has murdered a few people, has terrible taste in men, and struggles with addiction (to alcohol and eating souls). However, despite it all, she is trying to be a better person and to protect those she loves from evil.
If you like flawed FMCs, friends to lovers, dark magic, or urban romantasy definitely check out this book!
