Jasmine

Spell Library #12

by Crystal North

Jasmine: an insanely talented half-witch who can’t see her own worth, even though the humans and the Supes of Silver Springs all adore her; shop owner; holistic healer; visionary; fortune teller.

The only problem she ever has with fortune telling, however, is her own. All she ever gets is visions of trees when she tries. You know the saying, can’t see the wood for the trees? Well, Jasmine just can’t figure out what it all means.

However a spelled library book, left behind in her shop by accident, may just give her the clarity - and romance - that she’s been missing. Fate has funny plans for Jasmine, no matter how disbelieving she is, or how hard she tries to fight it!

Take a firefighting shifter, fae builder twins, and the hottest bouncer you’ve ever seen, despite his unusual appetites...four guys named after trees and one witch who’s still too clueless to see the sexy answers staring her in the face.

It’s got to spell a recipe for disaster, right?

Jasmine is a paranormal reverse harem romance. It's part of the Silver Springs shared universe.

Crystal North is one of my favourite authors and this book OMFG so good. This book literally has everything it’s funny, hot it’s got the right amount of conflict and just so dang amazing I’m hoping she does a sequel for this baby ❤️

A cute standalone RH book set in Silver Springs that will rock your socks is exactly what this book is.

The guys are divine and the FMC is sassy and quirky. The story just grabbed me and didn't let go. Got to love grumpy fae Linden, his twin Rowan that is just perfect, Ash - the sexy fox and firefighter, and Oak - the incubus demon that dominates and tempts like no other.

Definitely a fun read! Recommend for RH fans!

This was a cute Paranormal RH page turner. This was such a fun read that I want to go back and read the rest of the Silver Springs series.

Really early morning pick up read. I liked it. It was fun and straight forward. The guys were entertaining. I liked how clueless Jasmine was about her own future. Favourite of the guys was Oakley.

I actually feel kinda sad and happy at once right now. Sad, because, apart from maybe a few sequels and of course Love Blooms, this is already the last book in the second season of the Silver Springs Library interconnected stories. These stories have kept me company during the last few months and it will be so weird to not get a new one every week. Happy, because each and every one of those was once more worth a read.

Jasmine's story has a little bit of everything of the other few books. It has a heroine who can sense danger, and a lot of other things, but who's also insecure, is quite sure that she doesn't deserve true love and is even more convinced that no guy will ever love her. However, she also has a big heart and makes room for everyone who deserves to be there. It's therefore so easy to care for her and about her and to just want the best for her!

And her harem also consists of all kinds of men. A succubus, who heightens all her deepest desires, two fae man, one caring and one more of a bad buy, and a shifter, who's all cute, but can turn into a predator too. The mix of these guys was perfect and I love how, although there was some tension, there was never any hard moment when it came to sharing Jasmine. This is the kind of harem Jasmine really deserves.

The plot had romcom elements, where our heroine is a little awkward and clumsy and doesn't always make the smartest choices. It had of course a lot of delicious sex scenes, nicely written and focussed on the bonding between the characters. It had romantic dates. And it had a side plot with a little danger and a high price to pay. And in one way or another all the characters from the previous books got a nice little nudge.

So, even though I'm sad this was the last book, I'm happy it was a perfect way to end this season. And I? I can't wait for the sequels, love blooms and the new season!

I absolutely loved Jasmine!!! This was a epic read. I enjoyed everything about this book from the twist and turn, laugh out loud moment, mystery, drama, and of course steamy romance. I'm kinda of sad that the series is coming to end but can't wait to see what else is in store for this series. I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received and the opinions I have expressed are my own.

So in this next book in the silver springs series we meet Jasmine: an insanely talented half-witch who can’t see her own worth. Along with the drama and Suspense and the twists you probably won’t see coming there’s also Humour, love and some hot and sexy men. A fantabulous paranormal RH addition to this awesome collection!

Saved the best till last

This is my highlight of the Spells Library series. Slightly longer than some of the other offerings and it helps build the threat and establish the group well

[Angela Denny]

Great read

Omg this book was awesome. Jasmine is a half witch who doesn't want to fall in love. Ever finding a magical book she meets four men who all want her. Never believing that any hot man would want her she tries to push them away but ends up falling for them anyways.

What an amazingly entertaining read that had me laughing out loud. Definitely recommend giving this book a read it’s steamy and wonderfully written.

[Rebecca · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was absolutely awesome. I love the characters especially Jasmine she’s hilarious and my new spirit animal/ Soul sister. I did not see the end coming or going the way it did that was a little shocker . I want more from Jasmine and her guys .

[Andrea Thompson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is my first book in the spell library series that I have read. but now I have to go and read them all, if this book is any indication of how awesome they are. It was cute, funny and steamy, all at the same time!! Now that is a great writer in my opinion. And can I just say that I love Ash! Fireman are so hot!! totally recommend this book!!

[Carol Rupprecht · Rating 5 out of 5]

And the Spell Library series of Silver Springs has finally come to an end with Jasmine. These have been some of my favorite books, and I know that I will always come back to them when I need a good chuckle or some heartwarming feels. Jasmine's story was one of my favorites. Although we've already seen a witch or two in this town with a story about them, the authors always make sure that they have variety, types of magic that they are capable of, abilities like seeing the future or even more, and they always have that certain special quality about them, one that could probably be considered a defect or a flaw, but is seen as a quirky thing to love by the men who find themselves linked to the FMC. Jasmine, being a half witch, sees herself as lacking in the magic department, though she is quickly loved by the citizens of Silver Springs and well known for her holistic healing and future telling abilities. The twist on not being able to see her own future was a fun one. She didn't realize what was really being shown to her which made her finding her men even more entertaining. They were a great group for Jasmine and helped her see her true worth and open her heart back up to love. The bond that linked them all together was a tad different from the other connections in Silver Springs. I liked how the connection was visible to Jasmine and that she could see it grow as the group connected more and more..or how it was affected if they kept themselves away. The ending had a really interesting twist. I've come to expect a small last minute issue in these books that the group has to deal with. The problem I somewhat saw coming, but definitely not the solution!  Hehe. Crystal North was clever with that addition. Looking forward to seeing more from the Silver Springs books and what they come up with next!

Crystal North, you have done it again and provided an excellent story with Jasmine. If you have not read a book by Crystal North, you will fall in love with her. Let me tell you why with this review on Jasmine. If you want a book with some funny commentary from the main character, intense moments and some hot and sexy moments. Then you need this. I fell in love with Jasmine who is half witch and human. She moved to Silver Springs for a fresh start after what she has been up to. She is trying to live life in the moment and also dealing with the visions that she gets. However, there is one she is having trouble trying to decipher and let me tell you that even I was shocked at the end when all the pieces came together. She also comes across the spelled book Love Blooms. LOL and boy does it bloom for Jasmine with twin fae brothers Rowan and Linden, Ash the fennec fox shifter, and Oakley the demon incubus. So I am over her thinking well isn't she lucky and that she is not going to have an issues until some things start happening. Oh Boy does trouble arrive but can she handle it herself or will the guys be there to help her. All I can say is that it was epic. I can't wait to read which books will have sequels in this series because I think they all should but we will have to wait and see.

[Ashleigh · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was epic.
The first chapter had me hooked - unicorn hot Chocolate and a pumpkin spice latte that help you find your true love (or several!) YES PLEASE. From there it only got better.
Jasmine is a half human/half witch living in Silver Springs, a blended community of humans and supernaturals ‘supes’ who are able to hide in plain sight. When a cheesy looking romance book is left in Jasmines shop with the recommendation she reads it Jasmine is reluctant, reverse harem isn’t really her thing but when four handsome supes appear claiming to be drawn to her Jasmine soon realises she’s drawn to them too, all four of them and maybe a reverse harem of her own is exactly what she needs.

This book was wonderfully written, relationships weren’t rushed and didn’t feel forced. This book is steamy but its believable steam, there’s no outrageously unrealistic situations and readers can feel every moment. I especially enjoyed Jas’ inner monologue leading up to her little ménage with the twins, it made the whole scene feel real.
This is a great book, it’s the perfect blend of heat and comedy with a little twist of darkness added to keep us on our toes. I’d happily read more about Jasmine and her men.

Jasmine

By Crystal North 

Narrated by Clare Silver


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


Sum up of the book -


   Jasmine is a shop owner in silver springs and is also a half witch. She gets visions but the visions of her own future leave a lot to be desired. All she sees is a vision of trees. What could a bunch of trees have to do with her future? 




Review -

   

I love Audiobooks ! I was so happy to get this request to review this. This book had some of my favorite things .

*reverse harem check✅

*paranormal ✅

* extra spicy 🌶✅

This is book 12 but I read it as a standalone and wasn’t lost. Jasmine was a great character I loved her and her humor. She was sweet but had some sass to her. This overall book had a great pace and held my interest the whole time. I liked all of jasmines men but Oakley was my favorite 😍. This book definitely makes me want to check out more from this series. 


Narration review - 

The narration was on point for this book. Clare Silver’s voice sounded perfect for Jasmine's character. She did a great job to really bring the story to life. 

[Cas ✨ · Rating 5 out of 5]

I don’t know where to start with the story; it was delicious. I loved the way they came together, I loved the tension, I loved the plot twist, and despite knowing these are typically standalones, I really hope we get a sequel to find out what happens with Jasper.

The FMC was a little annoying with how obtuse she was about the mate bonds and the hurt she was causing her guys, basically until she almost died. But it added a layer of drama I suppose, I just wish she had cared a little more about their feelings. It at times felt very one-sided, not just the “all focus on her” that’s typical in a RH situation.

But overall I really enjoyed the story and I really loved the guys. Oakley is def my favorite, but Ash is a close second, with Rowan & Linden following respectively. I’m glad he was less of an arse towards the end, but I still didn’t particularly like him on his own, lol. But as a package deal he just… works? Fits? Idk, I’m not usually into the twin thing but I love how they balance each other.

Crystal North has done it again! Jasmine latched onto my attention from beginning to end! Starting around 2 in the morning is definitely not recommended as I stayed up until I finished it almost three hours later! Jasmine and her harem just wouldn’t let me put their book down. It was as if I had no control, tearing through the pages of my ebook until the very end! I just had to know what happened next!

More than once I found myself bursting into laughter and trying to stop myself so I didn’t wake up anyone sleeping. Her men have these personalities that just make you wanna leap into the book and take them for yourself! Of course Jasmine is the star of this show, and she won’t let you forget that! Her warmth, sarcasm, and love all wrap around you and make you feel like she is a part of your life. You begin rooting for her as if she were your real life best friend!

HIGHLY recommend this book and have my fingers crossed for a continuation in the future!

[Missy Brown · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed Jasmine very much, and I have become a Crystal North fan. Which is one of the reasons why I really enjoyed this Spell Library series. You get to see all the different authors and get to see if you like their writing styles. I have come to really enjoy Crystals stories and the way she writes.

Jasmine, who is a half witch half human, Looking for a fresh start in Silver Springs. But even though she is trying to just be normal she is anything but, her visions do not let her be normal. Silver Springs proves to be the magical town that it is and she finds her mates. What a mix of mates she has too. Now life for Jasmine is anything but ordinary.

I just enjoyed Jasmine and her guys Rowan, Linden, Ash and Oakley. A very enjoyable read that is perfect for this series. I would highly recommend this series.

[Dharia Scarab · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fun series of stand alone books in a shared universe with a little bit of character cross over.


Since I don't normally write reviews unless I have something specific to say, here's the break down of how I rate my books...

1 star... This book was bad, so bad I may have given up and skipped to the end. I will avoid this author like the plague in the future.

2 stars... This book was not very good, and I won't be reading any more from the author.

3 stars... This book was ok, but I won't go out of my way to read more, But if I find another book by the author for under a dollar I'd pick it up.

4 stars... I really enjoyed this book and will definitely be on the look out to pick up more from the series/author.

5 stars... I loved this book! It has earned a permanent home in my collection and I'll be picking up the rest of the series and other books from the author ASAP.

[PelicanFreak · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a really fun read, and it made me want to seek out more by this author. There’s a lot to enjoy here:

🔮 Brilliant / sassy / relatable FMC who owns an excellent shop.
🔮 Small town vibes.
🔮 Lots of cameos from the other books in this world and its sister series.
🔮 Slow burn.
🔮 Lots of wit.
🔮 Strawberry-shortcake cocktails. 😂🍓
🔮 Fated Mates.
🔮 ALL the supernatural, mainly (but not limited to) a half-witch, incubus, fennec fox shifter, fae.
🔮 Mystery
🔮 Drama & a bit of action.



I struggled with plausibility, only regarding the FMC, who doesn’t strike me as particularly ignorant, having never heard of a fennec fox. That’s minor though, it’s a fun read with plenty of relatable scenarios.


4 stars.

Jasmine is another great addition to the paranormal reverse harem world of Spell Library. Jasmine is a half-witch with low self-esteem and little self worth of her abilities due to an ex-boyfriend. She even has issues with seeing what is plainly in her face at times. In a world where multiple partners is the normal, Jasmine can't see that she is worthy of one man never the less four. After her fortunes for herself keep giving her trees, she feels she must deserve to be in the woods alone without anyone because at least there she feels safe. Because everyone leaves in the end.

Read to find out what Jasmine does and what happens when a set of twins, a firefighter and a bouncer come into Jasmine's life. Expect some twists you won't see coming.

[Nikki · Rating 4 out of 5]

What happens when you mix a half-witch, incubi, fox shifter, and twin fae? Lots of steam and a whole lot more drama. Jasmine finds herself adopting a not-dog(?), nearly being crushed by concrete, and finding herself completely tongue-tied by the new bouncer at Vee. All she wants to do is run her shop and finish her book.

Life has a way of providing what we need even when we don’t know what we want or need. Jasmine is the perfect ending to the Spell Library season of Silver Springs. Crystal North has brought a steamy read filled with some jackhole, fun-time blockers, considerate meal makers, and absolutely adorable pets. You through in some weird happenings at home and in the shop, and you’ve got a page-turner that has readers wondering what the heck is going to happen next!

[Brianna Belbin · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a great ending to the Spell Library series! This book was filled with steam, humor, snark, and mystery. For some reason, the FMC gives me Jasmine from Aladdin vibes, but obviously a more adult, contemporary, and freeing version.
I really liked Jasmine’s personality- she has a big heart, but can put her foot down when needed. I loved learning a little about crystals and tarot and would have liked to see her interact a little more with her customers. She had unique ways of meeting most of her guys and I think Linden was my favorite out of the four of them. There was a twist near the end that was written really well and I can’t wait to see how it affects their lives because of it.

Jasmine doesn't realize how very special she is until she meets the men of her dreams!

Yep, I said MEN!!! In the 12th book in the Spell Library RH series, Crystal North shares Jasmine and her half witchy ways with us, as she navigates meeting, then being wooed by, her sexy supernatural guys-well, most of them. One in particular rubs her the wrong way, which helps to create a fun component as Jasmine’s inner dialogue is hysterical.

The exciting part of this book is that we meet up with and again enjoy characters from the previous 11 books in the series!

Enjoy the fantasy escape of the Spell Library series for yourselves!

[Danyelle Williams · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book strikes again

Jasmine is the last book in the series. Sorry to see it end. But I'm sure that we will see some continuations.

I enjoyed reading jasmine and her guys. She's a half witch with premonitions who has been unlucky in love. All she wants to do is take care of her weird new dog and run her shop. Nothing in silver springs is ever that easy though. I enjoyed all her men in this book though Linden was my favorite...with Oak a close second. I liked how they just lovingly just pushed thier way into her life. Who wants a guy to walk your dog and make you breakfast 🤣

Hope to see more of them after the big move and see what is in store for them.

[Andrea Green · Rating 5 out of 5]

WOW!!! Fabulous paranormal world, I absolutely love this series of books, and am so sad that this years season is coming to an end but what an end Jasmine - the storey grabs you quickly and hold you till the end. This is one of those books you just cant put down.
Really great sassy female lead plus some interesting and hot men - ass to that unicorn hot Chocolate and what more could you want from a book.
Full of twists and turns plus some real fun moments, the perfect book to loose a couple of hours to on a lazy weekend.

[jennifer morton · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm loving this story each story just keeps getting better. It has everything the sliver springs series has to offer that it leaves you wanting more and has you on your toes not knowing what will happen next. I love crystal North writing and how she portrays jasmine in the story and what she has to face as the story develops and the male characters in this story that you cant help but love. with there cheeky ways and how the flurt with Jasmine. I was not disappointed and got the story I wanted in the end so mush that it had me wanting more.
