Great read *may contain spoilers!

I loved the series. There’s a lot of “buts” I could throw in but I still have to give it a 5 because I’m hoping that all of the things left unfinished will closed by the final book. I’m terrible with waiting for the next book, I try to wait until a series is complete before I read it especially when there are so many books. I feel like it will be a long time before this series is completely finished but I have no doubts that it will be worth it. I’m at war with myself to start the next series but I know that I will only be frustrated that part 2 isn’t complete. I probably won’t be able to resist because Sam was one of my favorite characters. I do have to ask, did I miss the answer somewhere to what Isabel gave up at the crossroads? I know that it was referenced several times but it’s bugging me that I don’t know the answer.

Beware! Once you begin, hard to put down.

I just fell in love with this series!

The characters are so well thought out and quirky. In love with the quirks, crazy characters, continually changing story and most of all..... I have been pleasantly surprised by this series. It is like "The Never Ending Story" on turbo shots.

I never knew where this author would take her characters and the plot. Kept me fascinated.

I would love to see this as a series, would be scary but riveting.

In am off to find out if this series continues on....

If you love all things paranormal , put this on your T B R list, you will not be disappointed.

Uh... I didn't know this is a romance novel.

It is.

I can't really review this as a romance novel. I haven't read one since I was 13 years old and had to borrow a book from my aunt on a flight to Malaysia.

So as a novel this is just bad. Lips curl over and over again. Eyes flash. Desire overwhelms. The protagonist is a strong female lead, until she is not and has to be saved. The hero guy is from 1700 Salem and yet watches TV for a week and is totally fine with EVERYTHING. Oy Vey.

The sex is pretty hot.

Excellent with a twist

A terrific five book story with magic, history, and some very interesting characters. Saunders has a way of pulling you in and keeping you wanting more. The story has a fast pace and is easy to read. By the time you have it all figured out, Saunders throws a twist in that makes you want to read the books again to ensure you didn't miss the signs. Would recommend to anyone into fantasy, magic, or alternative history.

Not my cup of witchcraft

I started out really liking this book. Too soon it got body and that is not my thing, it was not a huge carnage but was short and to descriptive for me. Probably will be well liked by others. I also am not into going into events of the past it they are long. I loved all of the characters in this book, we're so descriptive i had them pictured in my mind almost immediately.

Wow!

I truly enjoyed this series...overall the books kept me turning pages...there were only a few points that I thought were unnecessary. There are a plethora or characters and at times it gets to be a bit much, the final book wraps everything up. I would like to see a follow up series to check in on the main characters.

The Guardians Review

I loved the Guardian Series. Each book flowed well into the next. I feel in love with Olivia, Theo, and all the members of the small town of Mercy. These books were well-written paranormal stories, full of suspense. The author drew you in from start to finish. I highly recommend this series!

Great Series

Once I started reading I found I couldn’t put it down. Now on to the second series. I see there are only three books so far I hope there’s more coming. Love the way the books are written. Wonderful story teller.

Mystic, magic, myth

This book has everything and ties it together in unique and interesting ways. I read the packaged first series and my on disappointment was that not did each book leave the reader hanging the entire series did. It is too annoying, losing a star
