I'm sorry but u expect me to believe that they are all in love and want to all live together FOREVER after that.
The only person the MC had romantic chemistry with isn't even in the harem and two of the people in it have practically no personality in them - I cannot differentiate them from each other. Sure they have had some banter and have had sex multiple times but that does not mean they are in love. This is a fantasy book but that was the only thing that really that broke my suspension of disbelief!!!
Also not a fan of student x teacher relationship especially when the girl is in somewhere meant to replicate a boarding high school rather than a college. I dont care that she is 19. I thought he was going to be dropped in favour of Caleb in this book because he's such an annoying charcater but Caleb got written off in favour of him.
Maybe the finding-your-dad-who-murdered-your-gran plot will make the next book interesting but this book didn't do it for me.

Ok read
I really like the mc and her bf but I just feel like this story has no substance. Furthermore the guys are keeping secrets and being cryptic and don't tell her anything and she's just like whatever and keeps falling into bed with them. FINALLY at the end they tell her. It seems like the guys only want her for the spell no matter what comes out their mouth. Then you've got Caleb who pretends to want her and all the sudden doesn't and she doesn't find that suspicious? Come to find out the guys were paying him. This is just nothing like the authors other books and by far not my favorite. It was nothing more than a bunch of unemotional sex until the end when it finally piqued my interest.

Fabulous!!!!!!!
Keeping this short and to the point, this story is definitely intriguing. It is original and unique. It just keeps getting better and better. Then we have this shocking revelation at the end that has us in suspense for the next book. The characters are growing and the relationships are as well. The story is well written and developed.

Very enjoyable great reading
I really enjoyed this book and loved the characters and how they came together. Finally Paige found out who killed her grandma but why did her mother lie about who did it? Can't wait to see what will happen next.

Love this series!!! Love all things paranormal and romance and this book delivers both. The lead character, Paige is full of sassiness and spice and the support cast are spectacular as well. If you like paranormal this is definitely a must read.

That’s it? That’s the big must for the 3? All 3 of them chucking I love yous when nothing has happened for their relationship other than sex. I’m done with this series. If you want to read something similar but way better, read Darkmore Penitentiary.

😮💨 I can't carry on anymore.
Nothing happens? The stakes feel so low I don't understand how I'm expected to have interest in what happens to anyone in the story.
Time jumps all around nonsensically. An editor or better beta readers would have immensely helped.

Spicy, fun and delicious. This series is an unexpected surprise with a build up of interesting characters and plot that seems to be going places.

Paige is slowly finding out more about what Jory and Breckon want with her. And it’s not what she thinks. Add in the confusing Griggs and a new buddy Caleb and her mind is reeling. Fun read
