The Vampire and His Star Weaver: A Possessive Vampire Romance with Fated Mates, and Fae Magic
A college senior is claimed by a five-hundred-year-old vampire and becomes the prize in a supernatural war.
Her life was supposed to be simple. Survive university. Get through her shifts. Keep her head down.
Then the ground flashes blue, and everything changes.
Sage Herriman is suddenly bound to Silas, a five-hundred-year-old vampire who has spent centuries searching for his mate. The connection is instant, overwhelming, and impossible to ignore. He calls her his ley socium. The first human matched to a vampire in decades.
Now she is hidden inside a world she never knew existed, surrounded by powerful vampires who will do anything to protect her.
Because someone else wants her.
The fae have been waiting. Watching. And whatever they see in Sage is worth killing for.
As the bond between Silas and Sage deepens, so does the danger surrounding her. His control is absolute. His hunger is not just for blood. And the closer she gets to him, the harder it becomes to resist the pull between them.
Because in a world of power and ruthless loyalty, being chosen does not mean being safe.
It means being claimed.
And Silas doesn’t share what belongs to him.
The Vampire and His Star Weaver is Book 1 in the Cosmic Ley Series. Perfect for readers who love Sadie Kincaid, Roxie Ray, and dark paranormal romance with fated mates, possessive vampire heroes, and high-stakes supernatural worlds.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
This book was a great read. The world building was simple and the characters were easy to connect to and the plot was very straight forward. I wish there was more about the starweaver aspect of the story. I was hoping to have more of a understanding of it and a backstory. All in all it was a very enjoyable read that I was able to demolish in one day.

If you love astronomy, star signs, vampires and everything in between. You will love this.
Devon writes like giant big hug. Even in fast paced action and romance she always feels like coming home.
If you love folk lore then this is gunna be the one for you. The way Devon describes her vampires gives me such joy, much as there is the traditional blood sucking vampire. She also brings the essence down to its core what a vampire is and that is to feed off someone else. I cant wait for the next books and how she explores these theories.
Starting you with Sage and Silas' story first soft launches you into a world of mythic and magic. I didnt want it to stop. The intensity of the connections Devon brings to her characters feels so centering and the feeling of belonging.

The Vampire and His Star Weaver is such a fun paranormal romance, with twists on the usual vampire and fae lore. I loved the ley line based magic system.
The heroine, Sage, is a college senior who has spent her life alone. She's never been able to make friends or find love. The hero, Silas, is a 500 year old vampire who has spent most of his life looking for his fated mate. It's kind of a big deal when they meet because there hasn't been a fated match for 80 years.
Due to the particulars of the magic system (that I won't get into because *spoilers*), Sage has to be protected from forces that want to steal the latent magic she has no idea she possessed. So, very much against her will, Silas and his brothers spirit her away to their safehouse.
The Vampire and His Star Weaver is perfect for readers who love forced proximity, fated mates, vampires, found family and interesting magic systems.
Thank you, Devon Atwood for the opportunity to advance read. ❤️

As always with Devon, I enjoyed this book. The beginning was a little harder to get into than usual but it picked up the more I read. I struggled to connect to the characters at first but about halfway through I was really enjoying everyone. The ending has a very strong finish and I’m excited to see where the series goes.
A college girl meets a mysterious man who claims she is his and she has a strange pull to him she struggles to ignore. When she must go with him for her own safety she quickly grows close to his brothers as well. The danger gets closer though, and must decide if her life is precious or is his?

Vampire x human who are fated mates 😍
Silas is the first vampire in around 80 years to find his fated mate and boy he did not know what to do with her 😂 He basically wanted to kidnap Sage and just keep her with him forever. He got so flustered because he couldn’t understand why Sage wasn’t immediately in love with him 😂
Honestly, if a hot dark-haired stranger said I was his fated mate, no questions asked I would have gone straight with him.
Sage is obviously hesitant about the whole situation and she definitely isn’t used to being the centre of anyones attention (for reasons you’ll find out about).
She’s almost like a stray puppy who you need to slowly approach so they warm up to you.
Silas is possessive af. He struggles with his need to protect Sage whilst also letting her make her own choices because she is stubborn.
Sage is a very likeable character, she definitely tests Silas’s patience. I also loved her connection with his cohort brothers, it was a nice addition to the plot to see how much they loved her as well.
It’s instalust to begin with because of the mate bond but Silas and Sage really get to know each other and their connection deepens throughout the book.
I really enjoyed this book, there’s paranormal/magical elements and a super fun plot.

A vampire romance with fated mates? Count me in! This is what The Vampire and the Star Weaver by Devon Atwood brings to it’s readers. This story has everything to do with fate, but what if a fated mate also comes with danger?
Devon Atwood created a nice fantasy with a hint of spice. The slow burn romance really makes the connection between Silas and Sage stronger.
Sage and Silas are really wonderfull characters. I loved the fated mates trope, but also the fact that it wasn’t love at first sight. In addition, I also liked the way the other characters added to the storyline.

I'm struggling to stay focused on this, unfortunately. Its simultaneously over wordy, and not enough info. I realize I haven't finished the book but I feel like I should've had a better understanding of the magic system by now

Devon Atwood's The Vampire and His Star Weaver delivers an enticing blend of dark paranormal romance, supernatural danger, and the irresistible tension of a fated-mates connection. At the center of the story is Sage Herriman, a college senior whose priorities are initially ordinary: getting through university, managing her work shifts, and keeping her life as uncomplicated as possible. That sense of normality disappears when a mysterious blue flash changes everything, drawing her into a hidden supernatural world where her existence suddenly matters to powerful beings with very different intentions.
The connection between Sage and Silas is the heart of the story's romantic tension. Silas is a five-hundred-year-old vampire who has spent centuries searching for his destined mate, making the discovery of Sage extraordinary. He identifies her as his ley socium, the first human matched to a vampire in decades. Their bond is presented as immediate and overwhelming, but its significance goes beyond romantic attraction. Sage is suddenly connected to a creature whose age, power, and possessive nature make him both a source of protection and a force she must learn to understand. The contrast between her relatively ordinary human life and his centuries-old supernatural existence gives their relationship an intriguing imbalance.
Silas is particularly compelling as a dark paranormal romance hero because his desire to protect Sage is inseparable from his need to possess her. His control is absolute, his hunger extends beyond the familiar vampire appetite for blood, and his refusal to share what he considers his creates an atmosphere of both attraction and danger. This gives the romance an intense edge. The central question is not simply whether Sage and Silas will accept their connection, but what being claimed by someone so powerful will mean for Sage's independence, safety, and future.
The supernatural conflict adds another layer to the relationship. The vampires surrounding Sage are prepared to protect her, but the fae have also been watching and waiting, and their interest in her is dangerous enough to turn her into the center of a supernatural struggle. This wider threat gives the story momentum beyond the romantic connection. Sage is no longer simply discovering that vampires and fae exist; she is learning that something about her makes her valuable to forces willing to kill for what they want. The combination of fated mates, supernatural politics, ruthless loyalty, and competing claims creates a strong foundation for the series.
At 377 pages, the first book in the Cosmic Ley Series has room to develop its romantic and fantastical elements together. Readers who enjoy possessive vampire heroes, destined connections, fae mythology, and heroines pulled into unfamiliar supernatural worlds will find plenty to interest them. The appeal also lies in the tension between the comfort of being protected and the unsettling reality of being claimed.
Ultimately, The Vampire and His Star Weaver offers a dark, high-stakes romance built around the collision of destiny, desire, power, and danger. Devon Atwood gives readers a heroine whose ordinary plans are overturned by an extraordinary bond and a vampire whose devotion comes with formidable consequences. It is an engaging premise for paranormal romance enthusiasts who enjoy their love stories intense, possessive, and surrounded by supernatural threats.

Review of advance copy received from Author
okay so i don’t usually read fantasy books, but i had the opportunity to arc read this for devon and all i can say is wow!!! i genuinely did not expect to love this book as much as i did. thank you again to devon and her team for letting me be an arc reader!!
i was a little confused at first because i thought this was supposed to be about vampires… so why are we following this nerdy little college girl around?? and then BAM. it all clicked.
sage starts out as this unpopular, awkward, normal girl who’s basically just trying to impress her mom, and somehow ends up becoming the MOST important person because of the blue magic. her snarky comments were hilarious and she loved pushing silas’s buttons every chance she got.
and silas??? i loved him. he tried so hard to act all nonchalant and unaffected, but there was absolutely no way in hell that man was actually nonchalant. he was protective of literally everyone sage, his brothers, his people and once he and sage were connected, she became just as protective over him too. i also really liked how much pressure he carried trying to be the house heir. and the way he challenged his father?? *chef’s kiss.* he was smart, stubborn, protective, and genuinely wanted to make the best choices for everyone around him.
for me, the brothers really pulled this whole story together. i LOVE good supporting characters because they add so much depth to a story and always leave you wanting more from the tiny little snippets you get of them. art was definitely my favorite, but honestly i loved all the brothers. sage’s relationship with them and all their little jokes and banter had me giggling the whole time.
and the smut??? vampire smut was not something i knew i needed, but here we are. the whole fated mates connection added so much intensity, and the fact that the brothers could hear everything because of their super vampire hearing and then proceeded to make fun of silas afterward??? it added such a fun layer to the story.
i also really liked learning about the different feedings and vampire houses. i would’ve loved even more world-building about the fae and how everyone connected together, but honestly i think that would’ve made this book insanely long. since i’m newer to fantasy, i definitely had to look up a few things here and there to fully understand some of the terms and concepts, but i still had such a good time reading this.
i finished this book in two sittings because i literally could not put it down. and then the ending?!?! the confluence happens, all this crazy stuff goes down, and then it just… ends??? absolutely not. i need to know what happens with cysgadyn, the wellspring, and the ley magic immediately.
i’ll definitely be waiting for the next book in this series. thanks again, devon

Will be reading more!
This is my first book by Devon Atwood after reading about it on social media, and I will be reading more!
Sage is a university student, and Silas a +/- 400-year-old vampire. They meet by chance when Silas turns up at a sports game that Sage is covering for the university newspaper. They’re each other’s fated mates and so don’t actually need a meet-cute: the instant connection when they’re in the same place does it for them.
I like the world that this book is set in, with the various supernatural creatures. The different types of vampires are also an interesting premise. The banter between Sage and Silas is good and amusing (as is the banter between Silas’s brother and friends) and Devon’s writing style is great - this book is an easy read, there wasn’t anything that jarred me out of the story. The spice scenes are also up there - although it felt a bit awkward reading that Silas’s brother and friends seem to be able to follow everything Sage and Silas do together (and Sage not realising this…). Despite this, Silas’s possessiveness and the boat scene in particular are hot!
This book is 4 stars for me because I feel that more details about the Star Weaver aspect are missing. Given that it’s important enough to make it into the book title I was hoping to understand its use and value better than what the story offers. The ending is a bit rushed for me too: during the fae scene, Silas swears that his father’s going to kill him, but then we hear nothing more substantial about it after the scene is over. Perhaps this is being saved for future books? Logically, those will be about his brother and friends’ mates, so that might be unlikely. I also got a bit frustrated about the communication plot, as I thought Silas could’ve understood earlier and tried harder to find out what was going on (trying not to spoil anything here).
That said, this book is an enjoyable read and I am looking forward to reading future books in the series as well as others by this author!

Review of advance copy received from Author
“To the ones with stars in their eyes and vampires in their hearts. You’re cute, but you’re filthy.” 😂 And what do you know, this story has a star gazer and a vampire. All her life Sage just wants to be noticed. Silas has been searching and has finally found his mate. He and his vampire brothers are not about to let her go. But Silas is not the only one who wants her now that her identity is revealed. The Drama Queen, I mean Fae Queen, has twisted plans for Sage.
This is not just a simple blood sucking vampire and human girl story. It has lots of interesting novel elements. Silas is one of five vampires that make up his cohort. Each member of his cohort has a different gift and a different means of getting nourishment; meaning they are not all super powerful nor do they all drink blood for sustenance. The five brothers all have wonderfully different personalities and are all protective of Sage. My fave is Art. He is direct, funny and maybe the food lover in me clicks to him because his love language is food!
Sage is also not a simple human. She has a special ability that’s become rare in this world, cosmic magic of sorts. Aside from the vampires and faes, there are also shifters, witches and shadowy fae creatures.
I giggled at the nod to Twilight. You’ll recognize it when you read it. But unlike Bella, Sage doesn’t strive to become a vampire.
This was an interesting read with fun banter, unique magic, and a bit of sexy fun. It can be read as a standalone but there is definitely more to the story. I look forward to reading about the other brothers.
Lastly, I want to express my gratitude to Devon Atwood for providing me with an ARC, which allows me to read the book and voluntarily provide an unbiased review.

thank you so much to Devon for the opportunity to ARC read your newest romantasy! overall, this was a 3.5 star read rounded up to a 4 for me.
Sage has always been a bit of a loner... unhappily following in the footsteps of her mother, never been in a relationship, and often ignored by the people around her. at this point, she's just trying to finish up college. but all of that changes when she meets Silas- her vampire mate. suddenly, she's thrust into a cohort of vampire brothers who love and care for her deeply. BUT- there's danger lurking just around the corner in this newfound life of hers.
I thought this had great readability... the world building was simple, the characters were easy to connect with, and the plot was straightforward. it was fun, had Devon's normal humor and banter, and had a lot of unique elements. on the flip side, I do think it was a bit shallow for a romantasy. my biggest complaint is that we never really got into the "starweaver" aspect. and when something plays such a big role in the plot, I would have expected us to get more information on it and a deeper understanding of its backstory and importance.
all in all, this was an enjoyable read that I devoured in just a few days. I do look forward to the rest of the series and reading (at least, I hope so!) the stories of the rest of the cohort (especially Art!!).
but please, this is my formal request to leave the food descriptions out of the smut scenes lol... "I was a steamed green onion, floppy and boneless" ... "I swallowed thickly, suddenly entranced by the way he was staring at my &*$$! like it was the last glistening coconut in an endless, sandy desert" ... I cannot explain to you how much those words took me SO FAR out of the moment. I nearly threw up an SOS...

Thank you Devon Atwood for the opportunity to read as an ARC reader. My review is voluntary and an honest review.
Wow 🤩 is what first comes to mind. When I first heard about the book it had already caught my attention. I’m a huge paranormal/shifter/fae/etc type reader and had a feeling this was going to be GREAT! This is the first time ever reading a book from Devon and it DID NOT disappoint!
Vampire x Human
Age gap ( 500 yr old Vampire x College Student )
Fated Mates
Forced proximity
Possessive
Protective
Lots and lots of banter
Strong FMC ( Sage )
Virgin MMC ( Silas )
Amazing supporting characters ( Silas’ brothers are HILARIOUS 😂
From the FIRST PAGE til the LAST PAGE I was HOOKED and truly invested in the characters. Sage is a “loner” so to speak that ends up meeting Silas who in turn realizes they’re true fated mates. That hasn’t happened in 80 yrs! Silas has waited for CENTURIES to find his mate and it happened. What does he do?? I’m not going to spoil that for you 😂.
The BANTER is by far AMAZING to me. When I heard a reference from one of Silas’ brothers asking if he’s trying to become MORMON I laughed so hard! I laughed as I’m actually LDS myself and it was truly funny. When you get to that particular chapter and paragraph you WILL laugh too with that entire conversation Silas is having with one of his brothers.
Don’t worry though there’s also spice too for those of you that are looking for some.
I’m looking forward to book 2 in this series. I can’t wait to read more about the Star Weaver, if Silas’ brothers find their mates, the magic, etc in more details. You don’t want to sleep on this book and series! It’s a great new type of vampire x human story to me.
Wow 🤩 is what first comes to mind. When I first heard about the book it had already caught my attention. I’m a huge paranormal/shifter/fae/etc type reader and had a feeling this was going to be GREAT! This is the first time ever reading a book from Devon and it DID NOT disappoint!

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Sage is a lonely college student trying to make her way in a world that ignored her and took her for granted. Her mom ignores her and views her as a tool, she has no friends or boyfriend. She ends up working at a soccer game and experiences a strange phenomenon like almost literally getting struck by lightning. Silas is a 600 year old vampire that is also at the game and gets hit with the same power surge which makes him Sage's fated mate.
Poor Silas got in over his head with a 20-something, feminist 21st century woman who wanted nothing to do with an overbearing caveman, not to mention vampires. The banter between them is hilarious and endearing. Silas' possessiveness and Sage's stubbornness absolutely collide and when they do the spice is out of this world!
I loved this modern take on fated mates. Add in vampires and fae and a twist of ancient magic to create an amazing story about love and sacrifice and what it truly means to be wanted and loved by another.
The only thing that kept me from rating this 5 stars was that there was no good explanation that led to the climax of the story. I would have liked more details about the ley lines and the star weaving. It was an important part of the story and got minimal page space. I appreciate the focus on the fated mates, possessiveness, who hurt you tropes that make up every good romance, but a little more focus on the supernatural background would have made this the chef's kiss.

A Fresh Take on Fated Mates
I just finished The Vampire and His Star Weaver: Cosmic Ley Book 1 by Devon Atwood, and I absolutely loved it.
Atwood effortlessly created an immersive world unlike anything I've encountered in paranormal romance… and I've read a lot of paranormal romance. Lately, I've found myself shying away from fated mate stories because so many of them start to feel the same, but Atwood delivered something fresh that immediately pulled me in.
I'm already counting down to the next book in this series. In fact, I'm a little disappointed it isn't out yet because I can't wait to see how each vampire in Silas's cohort finds their mate. What could have easily felt like a familiar trope instead felt unique and exciting.
I didn't expect the FMC to be in college, but it complemented the story surprisingly well and added a dynamic I really enjoyed. Atwood struck the perfect balance with the world-building, providing enough detail to make the Cosmic Ley world feel rich and fully realized without overexplaining every aspect of it. There is still plenty of mystery left to uncover, which only makes me more excited for future books.
And of course, the spice is phenomenal. Combined with Atwood's unique writing style, this was a captivating read from beginning to end. If you're looking for a paranormal romance that brings something new to the genre while still delivering on the chemistry, this one is worth picking up.

This book was so much fun to read!
We meet Sage having a nosebleed! She's at the bottom of the list of reporters for the school paper. She gets assigned at the last minute to a soccer scrimmage wiht a photographer Marcus.
She experiences a flash of white light - and finds herself "kidnapped" by Silas and his cohort.Silas is a vampire and was at the scrimmage to find his ley socium (his fated mate). No vampire has found their mate in 83 years so this is a big deal!
Silas has no idea how to court a woman, and Sage has no idea how to deal with a house with 5 male vampires! It's not a reverse harem, becaue Sage only has 1 mate and that's Silas. But the other 4 love her like brothers and take care of her.
The chemistry between Silas and Sage is supernatural!
But they struggle with the relationship and watching them grow together was the best part of the book.
Unfortunately, there are Fae that have evil plans for Sage, so they have to contend with that as well as all of the difficulties of young love.
The characters and the honesty and love they all had made this such a great read. The plot was good, and the story was different. I wanted them to have their happy ever after so badly - and they did! Both Sage and Silas deal with parental issues just like we all do. The brothers are well fleshed out with their own unique personalities and talents. Overall a realy enjoyable time.

Listen, Devon Atwood’s books are an automatic immediate read for me. I absolutely love the way she writes her characters, as well as how they are are connected from book to book. You have a couple, who has friends or siblings, etc who are also single, and you just know the next book it going to be about one of the friends/siblings. It’s always so fun to guess who will be next!! This is Devon’s foray into vampire fiction/romance, and I LOVED IT! I love the fated mate trope so dang much, and Devon does it well. If you like fated mates, vampires, he would burn the world down for her (and she would sacrifice for him), and his cohort also loves her dearly (and would burn the world down for her as well), then you need to read this book! I’m not going to go into what the book is about, as you can read the summary, but I will say Devon Atwood’s books are a wonderful palate cleanser, fun, quick read (unless you have a ton of things going on and was late getting your ARC reviewed -Sorry!!), and just an all-around good time. Read it. NOW. Do it. Buy it. Love it. Giggle and kick your feet! Buy them as book trophies, too!! I’m so ready for book 2, and I can’t wait to see who is next to find their mate. I have a feeling I know who, but I’m not saying here! Thank you for the opportunity to receive the arc, and I can’t wait for book 2!!!!!
Review of advance copy
This was a fast paced and paranormal romance with spice, vampires and fae. Sage has been living a lonely and slightly unhappy life until she meets Silas, her vampire mate. When they meet magical chaos ensues. Turns out Sage is the first vampire mate found in quite some time, so not just Silas wants her. The fae are after her as well and she is immediately in danger. Eventually Silas steals her away to stay with him. He then works with his cohort, aka four other vampires, to help keep her safe. Sage is witty and hilarious (even when its unintentional.) She is also super stubborn even when it doesn't actually help her. Silas is broody and possessive. He definitely fell first and harder. He really goes through it for her. He wants to protect her but also let her have her choices even when those things don't mesh. I loved them together though. I felt like they really balanced each other nicely. Thanks to the magical mate bond, they definitely started as a case of instalust that became deeper and real feelings as they actually get to know each other. The banter in this book was top tier banter. It was a lot of fun to read and I really enjoyed this. I hope we get more books with the other members of the cohort!

Spice & Sass & Stars…OH MY!
So I knew Devon was going to bring the heat AND the funny, because that is the hallmark of her work, but when I say that she topped herself this time, I’m not kidding. I got this book as an ARC and immediately ended up in the hospital, which means that this review is desperately late, but it’s 1:00AM, I’ve just finished it in one sitting, I’ve still got an IV in, but I have GOT to tell you to go read this book!
Silas and Sage are perfect for each other from the get go…fated mates and fae magic notwithstanding, they are just cosmically matched. But like any thinking woman, she’s got some questions: sure, she wants him to rip her clothes off in the kitchen of a soccer stadium, but also, did he really just kidnap her? The shenanigans are good, but the world building is GREAT, as per usual. And his four vampire brothers are an absolute hoot! I can’t wait for Art, Alvaro, Constantine, and Matteo to meet their mates and see how that shakes out. And let’s not forget the other supernatural creatures making life even more…interesting.
If this is the book u start with when diving in to the Devon Atwood universe, all I can say is, “hang on because you are in for the romantic ride of your life!”

I loved how the rules and capabilities of these vampires are unlike those in other books. It’s refreshing to see them enjoy sunlight and human food, while also having awesome, differing supernatural abilities. I could not help from chuckling every time the vampires would describe another kind of supernatural creature as unnatural. In fact, the whole book was full of both subtle and in-your-face humor. Silas is surly, full of desire, protective of his newly found mate and brothers of hundreds of years, and constantly caught in catch-22 situations. Sage is stubborn and chooses to make other people happy instead of herself. I felt like her in so many ways- being lonely and treated as invisible, doing things you don't enjoy because you want to please others, and finding it difficult to imagine someone loving you so deeply and completely. All of the supporting characters were great and added so much to the story. There is adventure, mystery, romance, laughter, and entertainment of some type on every single page. After enjoying this one so much, I am hoping to read more of Devon's books very soon!

The Vampire and His Star Weaver by Devon Atwood is a beautifully written fantasy romance that captivated me from the very first chapter. The story combines magic, mystery, and heartfelt emotion in a way that feels both enchanting and immersive. Atwood creates a rich world filled with vivid imagery and fascinating lore, making it easy to get lost in the pages.
The characters are one of the novel’s greatest strengths. Their personalities feel authentic and well-developed, and the relationships between them are handled with care and depth. The chemistry between the main characters is compelling, and their journey is both emotional and rewarding to follow.
I especially appreciated the balance between romance and fantasy. Neither element overshadows the other, allowing the story to unfold naturally while maintaining a strong emotional core. The writing is engaging and atmospheric, creating a sense of wonder that lingers long after finishing the book.
Overall, The Vampire and His Star Weaver is a captivating read filled with memorable characters, imaginative storytelling, and plenty of heart. Fans of fantasy romance will find a lot to love in this enchanting novel. Highly recommended!

I received this book as an Advanced Reader Copy and agreed to give an honest review.
Devon writes some fun, creative stories. I know her niche is SPICEY romance books. However, when I read her books, I’m always impressed with the quality of her storylines. I know her fan base is HERE for the SPICE, but she could write without it and still create amazing stories.
Ok, this new series is a fantasy series featuring vampires and faeries. This is book 1. There’s a lot of “world building” (or really, just magic system building) that takes place. What I LIKED was her concept of types of vampires. Very creative. They’re not all blood drinkers. What I DIDN’T LIKE - and this is pretty much “on me” - the concept of fated mates. Like, beyond one’s own control or consent. Eeek. ATWOOD DOES A GREAT JOB WITH TRIGGER WARNINGS!!!
Honestly? I just felt like this series could have been more about the rest of the plot than focused on the relationship. Also, I want to read what comes next to see if the “magic building” is what slowed this story down for me.
In short - not my favorite Devon Atwood book. But fans will enjoy it.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I have loved every book I’ve read by Devon Atwood, so I went into this hoping it would be the same.
And it was.
A vampire fated to mate with a (almost) human… got me pulled in already!! The way they found each other was different than anything I’ve read before (no spoilers) but it was different and definitely surprising.
The immediate connection that Sage had to Silas (and her cohort) was oddly refreshing to me (though you’d think it would be off putting? lol)
Atwood writes her characters in such a real and easy-to-connect-with way (is that a thing?) that no matter what she writes, I never feel uneasy or confused.
The spice… 🌶️🌶️🌶️
The banter … 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
The plot … 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
It’s all so good.
Silas is written like a man written by a woman. Smooth, protective, well mannered, experienced (😉) and willing to protect his mate at all costs.
I’m hoping maybe we get another book… or four… about the rest of the cohort?? Or just ART?
Read it.
Just do it.
Thankful to have a spot on Devon Atwood’s street team, to get to devour her stories early!

I received an ARC in exchange for a n honest review- Thank you Devon and team!
I don’t know if Devon’s books have ever made me cry before so this might be a first- and my rule is any book that can make me feel that deeply gets 5 stars.
Once again Devon has written a fabulous story and I really like sci- fi on her- it fits well! This book is a creative take on mystical creatures and modern fantasy. Our creatures are hidden in plain sight and searching for mates fueled by earths magic. Our heroine is ordinary, relatable and her grand actions are simple. The story takes a bit to get moving but once it does it moves quickly. The beginning is world building which you need to understand the intricacies of the lore and fantasy.
Back to my deep feelings, I’m not even sure where it came from and it just hit me. I think it’s the way the chapter was written, the prose and descriptions of such simple actions and inner dialogue just showed the deep feelings between the 2 characters- it was truly wonderful! I can’t wait for more in this series (and I hope to see more of Beau 🫣🤭!!)

There are so many things I loved about this book to easily make it a 5-star read, but what I loved the most is learning about the world through Sage's eyes as she was learning too! It was so refreshing not to have just chapter after chapter of world-building to get through first!
I ADORED Sage! She was such a sassy and sweet FMC, and I loved her determination to do what she needed for herself, regardless of how Silas felt, even if it put her in danger!
Now those Vampires. Gosh... I loved them so much that at one point, I was secretly hoping this was a reverse harem, but alas, they were all just a loving group of men who cared for Sage and each other!
I thoroughly enjoyed that the fae were self-obsessed. That was a refreshing take on a lifeform that is always placed on this fancy pedestal!
Thank you, Devon Atwood, for the advanced copy of this story! I am so excited to continue this series and see what mates arrive for the rest of the cohort, and to see who Art ends up with, because he was truly my favourite!

Review of advance copy
Absolutely yes. Loved it.
✅ Vampire x Human
✅ Fated Mates
✅ Found Family
✅ Unique Magic System
✅ Virgin FMC
✅ “Good Girl”
Y’all I’m pleased to tell you the FMC, Sage, is intelligent, and independent, which does work against her a bit. She’s doing her best and I love her for it.
Silas a bit of a caveman, but honestly, who doesn’t want to be manhandled by a centuries old billionaire vampire smokeshow who’s completely obsessed with you?!
Something I thought was cool about this book was that there’s 5 different types of vampires. They all feed on different things. Silas is in a cohort that features one of each:
Silas - Sanguine (blood)
Constantine - Incubi (desire)
Art - Adfectus (emotions)
Matteo - Mentem (thoughts)
Alvaro - Magicae (ley/magic basically)
I can’t wait to read the rest of the books in this series that’ll feature the other 4 vamps in Silas’ cohort and their mates.
4.5/5⭐️ 3/5🌶️

Review of advance copy
This author is new to me. I liked the writing style, the different languages she used. The flow was very good. Loved the intrigue, the twists and intrigue. Also the unique perspective of vampires and supernaturals. There's even a splash of humor mixed in, especially form his brother, at sometimes the most inappropriate time. Vampires have very good hearing. The worldbuilding was exceptional. I could feel Sage's frustrations and guilt. Silas's protectiveness and his method of learning a lesson put a smile on my face.
I loved both Sage and Silas along with his brothers of the cohort. Each has an unique gift or way to get nourishment. I loved Sage's determination .
Steam to the eventual romance.
I look forward to reading more from this amazing author.

This is the story of Silas, a vampire, and Sage, his human soulmate. Sage has always felt herself to be overlooked by everyone, then everything changes the day she meets Silas, her soulmate……
What a fantastic story! This is the first book I’ve read by this author and it definitely won’t be the last. It’s very different from many of the usual vampire stories, with great world building and well imagined characters that you definitely want to learn more about. I loved the idea of ley lines being the source of power for all supernatural creatures, and having vampires who don’t all feed on blood was another well imagined idea. I’m not sure if there will be a follow on book but I personally would love to read more about this cohort of bothers 🐈⬛

I had been waiting for this one and I enjoyed it. It's a good read. I love the idea of vampires feeding on different things. These vampires feed on bl00d, emotions, magic, thoughts, and desire. I can't wait for the other books in this series.
Sage has a hard time fitting in. She feels like no one sees her. It's not until she meets Silas that she finally feels seen and heard. When she first meets him it's a rough start. The man k!dnáps her, so I can't blame her reluctance to listen to him.
Silas is a very old vampire and the first vampire to find his mate in 83 years. He is beyond happy to find her and can't wait to start his life with her. She's a little resistant at the beginning. She had a lot of stuff thrown at her, and now she's also in danger. She's not sure who to trust, but she feels safe with Silas.
Sage has a hard time fitting in. She feels like no one sees her. It's not until she meets Silas that she finally feels seen and heard. When she first meets him it's a rough start. The man k!dnáps her, so I can't blame her reluctance to listen to him.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Vampires, Fated Mate, Dark Romance.
The story line is captivating; I found myself saying just one more chapter.
The connection between the vampire and his fated mate is sudden and unmistakable. The mate, Sage is an independent woman who is attending college, human, has no knowledge that vampires exist.
Sage finds herself unexpectedly immersed in a realm inhabited by vampires, while also discovering that she is destined to be the mate of a vampire who is both highly possessive and fiercely protective.
This book kept me on the edge of my seat, feeling the young woman’s frustration. There is great banter, and spice.
I hope that there will be another book after this one, to continue the storyline.
I enjoyed this book thoroughly.
