Expected 20 Mar 26Warring Kingdoms. Deadly Secrets. Unclaimed Power.
Seren Corso is determined to snuff out the heretical traces of mágik that slip through the cracks in her kingdom. She strikes down mágik-wielding Rázuri with hate in her heart, a soldier taking revenge for all she has lost. Blood stains her hands, yet a part of Seren still longs for the fairytale mágik of her childhood. She feels the unbidden call of the forsaken Goddesses, and when Seren discovers that mágik runs through her own veins, the life she built for herself crumbles to dust.
Harkin Aranti will do anything to protect the ones he loves. Mercenary to a callous prince, he spills the blood of innocents. Now, Harkin must do what he never has before: convince his mark to trust him, training her fledgling mágik as she tries to kill him at every turn. Death is a looming threat, and if Harkin does not complete his task by the winter solstice, it is his family who will pay the price.
As Seren and Harkin learn more about one another, they begin to realize the truths they have always believed are not so simple, and cruel men are not to be followed blindly.
Szrestia is a country divided, its two kingdoms at war, and the past threatens to shatter their budding alliance. Seren and Harkin want to mend all that is broken, but will they be strong enough to overcome that which haunts them in time to defeat those that threaten them all?

Thank you to Hallie Morgan for the eARC in exchange for an honest review! All the Stars Above releases on March 20th!
5 / 5 ⭐️!
First off, I wanted to say the cover art is beautiful.
Second, that story was so magical! All the Stars Above was filled with banter, enemies to lovers drama, and overall just a refreshing writing style. This book is multi-POV, complex, and very beautifully written!
Seren and Harkin are our main characters, and I felt they were both so complex. The way their relationship moved from dislike to love was so heartfelt, and you could really feel the yearning and the tension between the two grow with each of their chapters! I loved the progression between them.
Also, thank Hallie Morgan for the pronounciation guide in the back, because I was struggling with some of those words HAHAHA. It really helped!
Overall, I really loved it! I'm eager to see where this series goes!
♡ pre-read ♡
read the blurb and immediately requested the ARC! so excited for this one!

First, thank you Hallie Morgan for choosing to send me an arc copy of this!! So grateful 💗
From the start this was absolutely beautiful. The writing, the story, the people, EVERYTHING 🥹 You would NEVER guess this was a debut novel with how well thought out and written everything was!!!
Obviously I keep talking about the writing, well, because it was truly a breath of fresh air. It took me a hot minute to really get into it, as it’s not typically what I tend to read, but once I did, I was blown away!! I could not get enough.
The enemies to lovers was giving ENEMIES to lovers from the beginning and I ate it up. Like the dry banter between them had me giggling so many times 🤭 I became truly obsessed with both of them (but honestly Harkin a little more because HELLO the man that he ISSSSS)
The magic (magik, I loved that name change) was so interesting to learn about and follow along. At times I was a bit lost, but that’s me with literally any fantasy lol. It felt so well thought out and I just loved it more and more the farther I got!!
This was full of found family, strong connections, great banter, an even better slow burn romance, and so much more. Hallie I’m truly so proud of you!!! This book was beyond beautiful and I’ve absolutely loved watching you become the author you are. I can’t wait to follow you along on this journey!! 💗

Beta read review (more to come later): This is such a refreshing romantasy debut. The magic system is compelling, the soft and subtle yearning tugs on your heart strings, and the ambiance is entrancing. You feel absolutely transported by Hallie Morgan’s prose into this beautiful world. Fans of Rachel Gillig and Rebecca Ross will love this one!

Thank you Hallie Morgan for the opportunity to read and review All the Stars Above!
I need to sound the lady knight alarm because WOW. Seren Corso, the woman you are.
This stunning debut follows Seren and Harkin, halves of warring kingdoms, as they navigate trust, honor, and the fragile hope of something more. I was hooked from the start. The writing is immersive and confident, with world building that is rich without ever becoming overwhelming. I felt the magic system stood out, thoughtfully developed and far from cookie cutter. The writing is vivid and purposeful, allowing us to immerse ourself and walk beside these characters in their journey.
At its heart, this is a true enemies-to-lovers story. The animosity between Seren and Harkin is earned and deeply rooted, which makes their emotional growth all the more satisfying. Watching them confront hard truths, challenge their loyalties, and slowly unravel their hatred alongside one another felt authentic and refreshing. And if you throw down for found family? This book delivers. The connections are strong and the banter is genuinely heartwarming.
Honestly, the story hits home. I loved the overarching story of healing from your past and facing your regrets to be a better you.
With all the tension that drives the ending of this book, it wraps up beautifully. No painful cliffhanger, but only anticipation for book 2!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫(4.5)
Let me start by saying this was such a beautifully written story. From the very first page, I was completely pulled in.
I am so incredibly thankful to have been part of the street team and to have received an e-ARC of this one. Getting to experience this story early was such a gift.
First of all — that cover?! Absolutely stunning. It immediately draws you in and perfectly captures the magic inside these pages. 😍
Our story follows Seren (FMC) and Harkin (MMC), and I adore them both so much. The playful banter between them was everything. There’s this invisible thread tying them together — one they try so hard to ignore — but it keeps pulling them closer and closer. Watching that tension unfold was so satisfying.
I also really loved the multiple POVs. For me, that always deepens the emotional connection, and it absolutely did here. Being inside different characters’ heads made the stakes feel higher and the relationships even richer.
Tropes you’ll love:
• One horse 🐴
• Found family
• Magic system✨
• Forced proximity
• “Touch her and 💀” energy
This story is full of heart, magic, tension, and connection. Thank you so much for choosing me as an ARC reader. You are an incredible author — and an even better friend. 💛

first off, thank you so much to Hallie Morgan for the opportunity to read her debut novel before it’s release date!
reading All the Stars Above, you would never guess it’s a debut novel. the writing is beautiful, ethereal, and vividly descriptive in a way that immediately pulls you in. every scene is crafted so clearly that the world unfolds like a movie in your mind.
the plot is dynamic, intriguing, and consistently engaging, but what truly stands out is the immersive world building & magic system. from the unique creatures to the intricacies of the setting, every detail feels thoughtfully developed. the world is rich and expansive without ever feeling overwhelming, creating the perfect balance between depth and clarity.
this is an amazing debut, and i’m already looking forward to the next book in the series! i can’t wait to see where our characters end up as their storyline continues unfolding!

If you’re looking for your new favorite romantasy read, All The Stars Above is it!!
A book and storyline as beautiful as its cover- I’m obsessed with the author’s writing style. This book was filled with some of my favorite tropes & I even discovered new tropes to obsess over that I didn’t even know I needed!!
Some of the tropes include: one bed, forced proximity, one horse, touch her & die.
Stunning debut novel & I’m so thankful that I had the opportunity to be a beta reader! Definitely pick this one up in March when it releases!
