I'm absolutely astounded as to why this book currently has high ratings. As someone who absolutely adores a good paranormal romance and nearly anything to do with foxes, I was so excited to see this book appear on my Facebook newsfeed as a recommended read. After reading decent reviews, despite how new the book appears, I delved in to what I hoped would be an awesome shifter romance. Instead, I got a very elementary read that I could only force myself 10% of the way through without being disgusted with the level of of inconsistency and overwhelming grammatical errors. This reads more like a fan-fiction written by a high-school student than a book published by a professional author. Constant overuse of character names...improbable and quite frankly, ridiculous plot points that the author wants you to believe...and don't get me started on the childlike descriptions of nearly everything.
The book opens to the heroine attempting to break in to a building in order to steal a potion that will give her sister her powers back after they were taken from her. Despite having no magical ability herself, the heroine consistently points out how she would do anything for her sister regardless if she must break the law to do so (though she struggles when taking the potion, wanting to take it herself despite clearly stating she would never do so within the first few pages). Interesting prospect and hopefully incoming epic break-in sequence. But no, suddenly the main character has the most impossible of items to assist her in her break-in fondly referred to by the author as "tech". This "tech" given to her by her sister before she lost her abilities, is so over-the-top and outrageously unbelievable that I was exasperated with how stupidly easy it made everything. Kenzie (the main character, whose name is issued nearly every other sentence) has a watch that shows her the building, everyone in it, scans to show if tech or magic is being used with the help of "witch balls of doom", etc. She also has a magic-enhanced headband that keeps her hair from falling out and leaving DNA or her "essence" anywhere (and the heroine complains that it does not hide her bright red hair...like...it can literally do everything but that?? Come on...), tech in her ears to enhance her hearing and blah blah blah
She proceeds to use a magic device that unlocks ANY lock to get into a vault where an Alpha shifter stores all his most precious items and just so happens to keep them labled. Literally, every shelf is labled "legal potions" or "illegal potions" or whatever else and is perfectly organized so that Kenzie can find the exact potion, labled, that she needs.
Quote from the book: "Thank goodness the tiger was organized. She read the labels and went down in alphabetical order to 'potions.' Some were illegal and some not, but they were all clearly marked. Kenzie went through each of the potions on the illegal shelf until she found what she was looking for." Really?!
If this weren't absolutely ridiculous enough, suddenly three naked fox shifters are in the vault with her. And boy, does the author like to remind you how much they are naked. In fact, it is said so much that I myself was reminded how much nudity must have enthralled me as a 13 year old. Word-for-word from the author after each one is described naked: "And they were all naked." We know!!! The dialogue between her and the fox shifters is beyond cringe-worthy and to top it all off, suddenly the author is using big-kid language to allude to incoming smut despite having some of the most unprofessional writing skills I've read in quite awhile. Example: "Then the first fox took it from her and swept her a very d*ck-swinging bow". This line used after some other language that turns what could be a sexy scene into something just...vulgar.
At this point, I just couldn't do it anymore. I don't know if I've ever been exasperated with a book so "highly reviewed". Mayhap the author just has a lot of good friends. I wish they would have told her how much this book flopped before she put it online.
I'll throw out some other things I found ridiculous:
-There is a Council of Paranormals. Super creative.
-She enters a quiet room, SO QUIET that she cannot even hear "air whistling through the vents" and yet she can hear computers humming.
-She has parkour training...and mentions this as she vaults over cubicles in an office to make her escape rather than just...you know, running.
-She also happens to know coding. Because that needs to be stressed. In fact, I won't be shocked if she knows sign language, owns a coat that makes her fly, or is the hottest girl in town. Help me.
-She immediately recognizes the shifters as foxes because of her nose. That little gem is never explained.
And that's it. First review I've left on goodreads because someone needed to say something. DNF and you won't either. There are much better and much more well-written shifter romances out there.

What better excuse for excessive foxy gifs than a book about fox shifters
As you’d expect from a book called “For Fox Sake” this was fun and ok maybe wasn’t the most well written thing I’ve ever read but it did suck me in. It was funny, cute and the FMC kicks butt!
Kenzie is a witch with no powers and we meet her stealing a potion for her sister who’s lost her powers to a curse. She’s breaking into a vault with the help of her handy tech magic. She has a charm for everything, from hiding her scent to better hearing etc etc. They give her an advantage when she has no powers of her own. ..Except for her super computer smarts and Ninja Kung Fu gymnastics. Oh and her unexplainable power to smell if someone is a shifter or not and what kind they are...
She meets her 3 men while stealing the potion they are all naked of course. All muscles and stuff.
They steal the potion from her and the rest of the book is basically her trying to get it back along with developing her relationships with the foxy foxes.
It’s not a spoiler to say they are her fated mates. It’s right at the beginning.
They all have a troubled past to match hers but are fun and love to play games. I think the Emma did a really good job of putting a foxes characteristics into these guys. Well what I’d image a fox might be like if he shifted into a man.
Multiple POVs help with this too.
This book is shy on the explanations - especially the powers, both the foxes ability to feed on pain and the tech magic- but I just rolled with it. Don’t overthink it and you’ll have a good time. I’m a sucker for the mate bonds so I’m blind-sighted to the bad stuff. It’s pretty short and available on KU so what do you have to loose?

3 Ok-ish Stars
Treated like crap by all but two family members, Kenzie is the only none witch in her family, but that doesn't mean she's weak or defenceless. When her younger sister's powers end up stripped from her due to a powerful and illegal curse, Kenzie promises to find a way to get them back no matter what - she refuses to watch the sister she loves wither away. Kenzie as a specific skill set that mean she can steal what she needs without getting caught, but what she doesn't count on is 3 fox shifters (Alpha Hunter, Ash and Finnick) ruining her plans.
There were moments in this that really amused me, but didn't really feel the chemistry between the main characters - hopefully that changes in book two.
Also the way in which Hunter and to a degree Ash and Finnick, dealt with the potion after realising Kenzie was their mate, it wasn't well done by them and their actions sucked.
This is a reverse harem book, the first of 3 interconnected books.
Acquired via KU.

This book has been on my e-reader for quite some time already and it has been even longer on my wishlist. It's almost a year ago that someone first told me to read a book by Emma Dean and that this was the perfect starting point. However, there are so many books I wanna read and I keep on adding new ones to the list and e-reader. But, this was the perfect book to fill the "author name starting with a D" - option for the N.E.W.T.'s.
It didn't take long for me to get into this book. The first chapter was already quite amazing, introducing the characters in the best way possible and I was so curious to know what was going on and what was going to happen. It's a pity that I had to work in between, else I would have maybe binged the entire series in one day.
This book was a little bit of everything I like. The characters in this book are quite intelligent and even though hormones are messing with their brains it's not that bad. On top of that there is a lot of politics in this book and I'm very sure there's much more to come in the other books. To make it even more perfect we have a heroine who is strong and not just because she knows how to fight and we have three lovely men, all very different and unique.
There's also a really nice build up. Usually when characters discover in chapter three that they are mates, it doesn't take that long before they end up in bed together, but in this case the characters really thought things through. The attraction was there, the lust was there, but they really wanted to make sure that this was what they wanted, that this was how they wanted their future to be, before they acted on all those feelings and emotions. That made the moments it eventually happened even better.
And then there was the finale. Damn! I can't wait to see where this is going!

re-read 2020
Still adore this series and I find the guys to be so unique. I love that they are tricky, playful, and sweet. Always playing some type of game, but still definitely can be serious.
----------------
I loved this series -- the whole thing. I might have had a few problems with it here and there, but I'm glad I gave it a chance. Also, I'm a huge fan of foxes and I'm glad we got other shifters besides wolves.
Loved it so much I read the two standalones in the same world and am dying to get started on the other series. Why haven't I? I'm worried I'll end up in a mini-slump again when I can't read the whole series in one sitting.

Fun and quick read
I had a great time reading this. Kenzie is so awesome; she loves her sister more than anything and will do whatever it takes to help her. Kenzie has been through a lot in her life and she totally deserves three gorgeous fox shifters to care for her. I liked that this wasn't insta love and took some time for the four to sort out their feelings and form a bond. I'm excited to read the sequel!

I really enjoyed this book. I think it was a good start to the trilogy. It reminded me a bit of the Kit Davenport series as Kenzie is a badass bitch in her own right even though she has ZERO powers. Goodness I can’t believe the hell shes been through I mean for years her family literally Tortured her, yes her own family, all to get her powers to manifest. I cannot fathom this but I have mucho respect for her because she keeps her bodies’ scars more to serve as a constant reminder of their wickedness, not that they care. But I mean really who tortures a child? A child whom they believe will come into this Supreme power. If you ask me, they are lucky she didn’t come into power because if that was me the first thing I’d do would be to vanquish their asses lol. I’m spiteful that way.
Then blurb does pretty much outline the story, there’s not much it doesn’t touch on and so most of the story is her finding and bonding with her three foxy mates, pun intended. I found this to be a semi slow burn (she sleeps with one of them near the end) but there was certainly no instalove moments between them all. They all showed hesitation with the mating, scared of being tied down and all that goes with it.
Alas Kenzie is desperate to help her sister and if hanging out with these hunks and taking down an enemy is what she has to do, well damnit she’ll do it lol. She is also a computer genius and a pretty badass fighter. She may have had this insane urge to mean something and to be something to her parents but unfortunately they still see her as a no one. In response she turned her back on it all and trained in many ways and places, honing her body into the best she could be, as a 100% human. I’m curious if she really is so plain or if that’ll change later in the series, she’s been through so much and is beyond strong so we’ll see. I can’t wait to see where this series leads and how her relationship with her harem proceeds.

This was SO DAMN GOOD. I'm so happy I picked it up! :D
This reminded me so much of the Kit Davenport series, which is my favorite RH ever. So I had high expectations for this book. I was so worried it wouldn't live up but it did and then some! There were definitely some things I liked about this book that were done differently in Kit. In Kit, her guys almost instantly fall for her. In this story, everyone's hesitant. Even though they all know their mates they are all still questioning the bond and if they even want it. And I loved that part of the story.
I felt the story didn't go as fast as I wanted it to. Kenzie and her guys are just really learning one another throughout this mostly. The story is there. But you're just learning what's happening through information. Which was fine, but then everything popped off at the end and you now know that the story is going to progress as it should in the next book. Hopefully.
But seriously. I loved this. It was so good. It didn't knock Kit out of her top spot for my favorite RH. But Kenzie and her guys are definitely up there in the top five! :D

Great Reverse Harem Urban Fantasy
This author is new to me and I just downloaded this book based on the blurb. I’m really glad I did because it was a very enjoyable read.
Kenzie is a witch who was born without power. Treated abysmally by her coven, she has only ever loved two members of her family, she’s either ignored or berated by the rest.
Whilst Kenzie has no magic, she is incredibly intelligent and physically fit with many martial arts under her belt. She overcompensated for being without power, by pushing herself to her limits.
Kenzie’s sister is a powerful witch who has had her powers stolen with a curse. In order to prevent her sister’s eventual death she tries to steal a potion that will give someone magic powers. When she’s in the midst of stealing it, a group of three fox shifters instead steal it from her. In order to get the potion back, she agrees to help with a contract they’ve taken on.
I loved the concept of this book, a witch with no powers is a very interesting main female character in a paranormal book. Kenzie has been hurt tremendously by the people who are supposed to love her, but she has remained strong and independent despite it. She has compensated by using charms made by her sister and creating tech-magic in tandem with her as well.
The three foxes are interesting characters too. None of the foxes are related, and the way they met is part of what makes intriguing. Each of the three is vastly different and speaks to different parts of the Kenzie’s character. It’s enjoyable watching her start to bond as they work together.
The world building for this book is very well done. I really like how the author explains about the covens and how they are run, over the course of the book. We also have to learn about shifter culture too, which is done as we hear about the foxes and their history.
What makes me classify this book as an Urban Fantasy, as opposed to a straight paranormal romance, is the plot. The plot is complex and interesting and would stand alone even without the romance part of the book.
This is the first book in a trilogy, and I’ll definitely be reading the rest of the series, as I really want to know what happens next.

This was a really cute book. Kenzie is a great character she is funny she is smart she is witty and really enjoyable to read. I think the premise of the story is pretty interesting and I was fascinated by the whole fox plot line and their little cute sayings or puns. Overall I really enjoyed the book it’s somewhat slow paced but then fast paced and it definitely ended on a cliffhanger because the story wasn’t finished so I’m going in the book 2 right now. I definitely like the three fox shifters Hunter Ash and Finnic they are pretty cool characters and they all have individual personalities which is nice to see sometimes the personalities blend and you can’t tell the difference between mates but this when you can.

Well there were good parts of the story, a few questions left over but hopefully they'll be explained in the other books. Grandma is funny and I like the world. Everyone seems to have a strong personality but it works well. Interested to see if Bradley gets whats coming to him.

2024 - Rereading via audio preparing for the 3rd book.
Originally read in 2020.
Such a fun book with the non-magical witch and her foxes.
Love the relationship between Selene and Kenzie. The sisterly love is strong with these two. I especially enjoyed how Kenzie is self-reliant and strong because she does't have magic. Plus, the way her sister still loves her despite the "coven" not embracing Kenzie due to her magical status.
The Foxes are intriguing so looking forward to more with these guys!
The grandmother is the best!

In the same world as Spotter Her First, For Fox Sake is about Kenzie. She is on a mission to get a potion. She just may meet her mates on said mission. Kenzie will do anything for her sister, which makes me love her more, and i thoroughly enjoyed her first meeting with Hunter, Ash and Finnick. With a great plot and great characters this is going to be a fun series.

I loved this book!
Amazingly well written, fantastic world building, strong characters with twisty pasts... Just overall awesome. I can’t wait to read book 2.

My first read from this author and what a wonderful, Light hearted easy world she weaved to read!
Kenzie is born a powerless witch so is ignored by everyone in her family except her grandmother and her younger sister Selena. After her nightmare younger year, she actually prefers this.
Between her sister, who is now the matriarch of her family, her tech magic, and all the physical training she's done over the years, she's not actually completely powerless....
During a job that is going flawlessly something goes wrong at the vety lady moment when 3 fox shifters suddenly appear to Kenzie.
This is the beginning of her world changing. She thinks they're just going to be mercenaries that she has to deal with to get the item back, but once she removes her charm that disguises her scent.... It reveals they're much much more to each other than just colleagues!
Lighthearted, well written characters, World and Storyline. Love the Fmc. Kenzie is feminine but not overly so. She's a huge fan of graphic novels and collects action figures. The fox shifters are each very different and they're each perfectly matched for Kenzie in one way or another.
Bring book two on.....!!!!

For Fox Sake recipe:
Grab your cauldron and throw in some humour, dark history, a dash of violence and a pinch of spice. Stir well and enjoy.
This book was exactly what I was looking for to get me out of my book slump. I was a bit skeptical as it is only just over 200 pages but I loved every bit.
Kenzie is a powerless witch born into a powerful family. Brought up tortured and virtually abandoned, it's no wonder she turned to the darker side of things. If it was not for her youngest sister and their bond, I have no doubt she would have come out much rougher.
On her mission to break her sister's curse, she meets her potential mate triad - mischievous foxes. And they just so happen to take the only item that she needed.
*I am now hurriedly packing my bags, items are being flung about and I'm frantically stuffing in one last sock in order to follow Kenzie's journey. Cannot wait!*

Audiobook narrated by

⭐️⭐️⭐️
I'm giving this the benefit of the doubt.
If a person has trained for a long time in different genres of violent sport, you do not freeze in a fight, and you don't feel pain until the adrenaline is gone. You will also shake when the adrenaline resede.
If an author wants to include a highly trained fighter and write fight scenes, please! do the necessary research.
I might be extra critical right now because I've just trucked through another series with horrible fight scenes.
So, three stars instead of two.
This time.
The story is on the short side, and there's not much depth to any of the characters yet.

Okay I loved this book! Kenzie is so sassy and funny. She is so strong. I love her relationship with her sister. I have a feeling the alpha may be her mate and the reason he wasn’t before was because she has lost her powers? Brad is a douche. Honestly he’s a terrible person. I can’t wait for them to bring him down. I love all the guys and how different they are but how they compliment each other and her so well. I love Edith. How she cares for the girls and the fact that she put a hit in brad. She is awesome.

I didn't know what to expect when I added this to my tbr, all I knew was it was fox shifters (which I hardly find). Better than I expected and I will be continuing the series. I really hope this is a universe that allows the turning of humans/witches into shifters or she gains her power somehow.

I absolutely love the characters in this book and I enjoyed the story so far. This is way better than I expected, as well as funny and entertaining to boot. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next one.
skimmed
February 16, 2020I tend to skim this genre - reverse haram - I’m intrigued by the idea, but have never really found one I’ve liked.
March 15, 2023
I feel like this book could've been so much more. I like the storyline but the depth isn't there.
