I’m a turtle shifter witch dude. I’m no one’s familiar, and definitely no one’s fated mate.
Life isn’t easy when you’re harboring an inhuman secret. I have hardly any powers for a witch, and oh yeah, a giant shell and long tail coming out of my back. When a legendary lion claims he’s my ancestor, life seems to look up. After all, if he can control his shifting, maybe one day, I can too. But then I meet more witches, and one of them claims me as his familiar. Well screw I’m no one’s pet. Sure, our powers activate when we’re near, but that’s just a coincidence. And yes, he’s totally my type. Again, not a big deal. We. Are. Not. Fated mates. But as the weeks go by, Loxley and I discover we have more in common than we realize. We grow closer as we play our video games and learn spells together. I’ve never had a coven, but these witches make me feel welcome for the first time. Everything I’ve always wanted could be right here in Boysen House. But as our powers grow, enemies lurk around every corner. Can he and I figure out our feelings as we ward off all that threatens our home? And even if I admit to wanting him, could a cute witch dude fall for a turtle like me?
‘Topped by the Turtle’ is a magical spicy romantic comedy. Don’t get this book unless you enjoy witch boys discovering their powers, crushes via video game chat, and yes, reptilian tail play. It’s part of the ‘Must Love Boysen Witches’ series, but can be read as a standalone, HEA guaranteed.
Going into this book I didn’t know what to expect but what I did know is that it was going to be filled with swoon worthy moments and wholesome vibes and it did not disappoint!
Gordy and Loxley are witches that can’t quite seem to conjure up magic…until one day they do.
It’s sweet and wholesome and filled with some hidden identity, some flirty online messages, some found family and obviously some turtle shifter spice
If any of those things sound like something you’d love I highly recommend this book!
Things that stood out to me: -Loxley overcoming some inner demons -Gordy being so patient with Loxley -The swoon worthy writing -The found family -The themes of finding yourself -The campyness of it all! It was so fun!
