Great story! Ryan and her twin sister were separated when they were young because their parents divorced. Ryan grew up not knowing her heritage and being severely abused by her mother. Her saving grace were her dream boyfriends Nico and Kai. But when circumstances and tragedy allowed Ryan, her two cousins and her twin sister reunited and she began to learn who she was. As their exciting journey continued, Ryan and her companions had many interesting revelations, dangers and altercations with other supernaturals. Ryan was soon betrayed and felt betrayed and lied to from others on her quest to find her true identity and save her loved ones. I can’t wait to read the next book!

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Outstanding

I was not expecting much from this book. I didn't know the author and I saw only one mention of it in a FB group. The FB group poster said it was great so I downloaded it. It is a great book with plenty of love interest and twists and turns you don't see coming. There are witches, warlocks, vampires, shifters, and fae. It has a bit of everything and the story line is great. I was happy when the relationship between the sisters..... That would be a spoiler. Now, you have to read it to see what I'm talking about.

The protagonist is a refreshing, sassy character who navigates through supernatural worlds which coexist with earth. This is a tantalisingly descriptive read which leaves you wanting more. With forbidden romance, intrigue, action and multiple mythical races to boot, you will find yourself siding with the heroine and her fight for justice and feminine independence.

I loved this book. It has all the favorite supernatural characters in it. Ryan is a great character. She had a hard life. It was so different than her twin sisters life. I like how the sisters are on opposite sides makes it more interesting. Can’t wait to read more.

I freaking loved this book
Ryan was a refreshing MC, she had such an attitude and a potty mouth it had me laughing out loud a few times. My favourite times were when she was throwing sass at the guys and putting them back into their place.

I loved the big dick energy flowing from all the guys, Alpha’s in every sense of the word

Dom is my favourite though and I now have a new book boyfriend to add to my ever growing collection.

Its a great foundation for the next couple of books in the series and I cant wait to get stuck into all of them

perfect mix

This book has THE perfect amount of world building, story line, and sexy scenes. There is enough to keep you reading and a few hot scenes but there is so much in between. I usually find books either have to much smut (no such thing, lol) or too much detail and world building that is start to drop off or skim read. Not this book. I have enjoyed every chapter. It is a cliff hanger, so make sure you time to get thru it and on to the next. 💚 WELL WORTH TBE READ! This is one series I want physical copies of to keep and enjoy again.

I'm totally in love with everything Samantha Barrett she deserves all the credit her writing is to die for you will be lost in this book immediately.

oh myyyy

I’m at a loss of words… this book was a rollercoaster ride that’s for sure. There were so many twists and turns I was on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next just to have the rug ripped out from underneath me and my heart broken! I’m clearly a gluten for punishment though bc I can not wait to find out what happens next!
