Like why I feel ravenous all of a sudden. Not for food either. For a four-letter word that rhymes with lick.
Don’t act all coy, we all know what I’m talking about, and I just so happen to have four very delicious men vying for my attention.
My ex, Pim, who stole my heart and my fear when he chose to become a shade rather than spend endless days worshipping my body.
Greyson, who wants my heart and not just my lady taco. Well, if he isn’t going to give it up, then he needs to stop walking around in that fireman gear because… damn.
Oh, and Hades, who has that whole bad boy persona going for him, but he’s a secret teddy bear at heart. I want to see if I can bring the God of the Underworld to his knees.
Then there is Apollo, who is a rage monster hell-bent on making me his when I want to make him mine instead.
It’s a shame my world went crazy and weird things keep happening all around me, because I definitely have better things to do. Or rather men.
Who do I have to kill for a few moments of peace so I, Nessa, can claim these creatures as mine?
VISIONS is book 1 of 4 in a slow burn reverse harem romance with so much sexual tension, it’ll leave you panting for more. Oh... And a Cliffhanger. If you're new here, sorry not sorry. If you aren't, you totally knew this was coming.
Elle Lincoln has been writing out her dreams and even nightmares for over a decade. She believes in magic in all forms, and oftentimes you’ll find her daydreaming in the oddest of places. Her passion is Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance, where the men are a little bit real and a dash of mythical.
When Elle isn’t writing she’s probably chasing around her four children, child-like husband, and a rambunctious Australian Shepherd. All who keep her on her toes. Nice try with the distractions, but mommy still got those books written and published. She resides in the beautiful state of Pennsylvania with lore and legends, and a whole lot of cornfields.
“I belong to no man, god, or monster...They belong to me.”
An alluring & mystical Reverse-Harem romance, A Fast-paced Magical tale of Discovery, Past clashing with Present, Mysteries, Myths & Hidden Truths, Visions, Tests, Slowburn, Emotions, Edgy finale & A Cliffhanger that left me wanting more! Gosh, this story & it's characters!! Like'em💘. Vanessa, Greyson, Pim, Hades, Apollo...I wanna see how it goes for them😉. I've added V's friend Sabina's series to my TBR too❤. It took me a month to get my head straight on, for what to include in my review...So you better read it full *wink*.
Vanessa; Determined, Resilient, Beautifully Psychotic (Greyson said); is 25, A virgin & has a past filled with secrets to be unveiled. She'd a lovely home with 2 moms & a (Magical!) girl gang/Friends. But since finding about the paranormal world 1yr ago; She'd started having Visions, of future, Can see Ghosts & Past. To not be overwhelmed, She came to this "Magically Null" smalltown in Arizona, where normal & paranormal live in harmony...but her destiny is now catching up to her...
Pim; Shady, Protective, Mischievous; is her Ex, the one she loved dearly & wanted to give her virginity to BUT he suicided in front of her YEARS ago (Broke her😥) & is now BACK as a "shade" in ghost form! She can see him, her touch materializes him. He wants her forgiveness BUT The Bastard hasn't answered any questions yet, He makes her (& my) heart hurt. I'm pretty sure he'd big reasons for what did & was not a human (an eagle shifter?), I hope we get answers soon!
Greyson; Charming, Caring, Innocently Sexy; is a man without past, Stumbling in this town 5yrs ago–Having Amnesia. He's a (Human) firefighter here (Military Background & maybe a tragic past we later find), V+G are friends, Crushing on eachother for months! Their giving in lead to hot times (NO SEX HERE), He wants a relationship with her. Later on, I see some sparks b/w Grey & Pim & am hoping for MM soon!
The story starts & we see her fun dynamics with Pim, her friends here & Grey! Even as G+V finally stop resisting & explore their chemistry, V's powers are starting to go haywire... Leading her to Hades & Apollo to her, in a dramatic way. Plus, There's fun scenes as Grey & Pim accidentally meet (Omg, I ADORE their interactions!). It's a magical adventure that kept me captivated & so glad for the Multiple POVs! ~Past & Present, Ghosty Play, Hiding, Magic & Town, Crush, Visions, Friends, Broken restraint, Kiss & Date, Hell Under, Desert & heat, Suitors, G-P meet, Attack, Cave save, Real & Hot🔥😉, Pie Kryptonite, Gods talk, Apollo's help, Beasty...
Hades; Tortured, Smart, Dark-Hottie; was the Ruler of Underworld, But his wife Persephone took his place & has been abusing him for DECADES. He can't go out of "hell" but due to Vanessa's vision–he meets V & he's enamored at sight (So is she). Pim works for him & is his only friend. V's so sad/angry when she finds about his abuse, I hope V gets to kick the bitch's ass!
Apollo; Haughty, Emotional, Alpha-hole; is the Seer God, just a shadow of who he once was. His empire fell, all his seers & oracles died...But Vanessa & her powers give him hope–She's HIS. V & he met when he attacked her, Pim & Grey. Though he later helps her, Due to his Arrogance, Vanessa & Apollo banter hard–blazing fires😉! Apollo with his own search, finds who she might be (The last Pythia!)...But maybe she's so much more!
When she'd met all 4 of her "Suitors" (Yup Choosing one is hard for her, & I'm sure the guys have also figured out she won't choose😂), THINGS GET HEATED, In all the best & worst ways! As Truths are found, Suspicions unearthed, Lovely visits, A sexy sandwich (P+V+G🔥), & A stalker testing her dangerously...Why? How? ~Friends Fun visit, Flames, Army hospital *Ooh!*, G's past, Homey way & Meditate, Hell's books, Pythias, Coffee, Tate's Truths, Earthen troubles, Moms' here, The supernova past, G's gift, The Almost 3some, Past & Hurt, All together, Stalker & dragon, The Tornado, Back to hell...
With Town's Wards destroyed *Oh shit*, I loved seeing everyone together in town (except Hades, sadly) as we get few answers, But the surprise tornado & it's aftermath was the "Omg, wtf?!" Cliffhanger! Will Apollo ever stop being an ass? Who caused the storm? Are her powers infinite? Will Vanessa Live? Can hell save her? I'm so excited for Book 2 & this was a fantastic start!! #MustRead P.s. That Bonus Prologue broke me, knowing what'll happen to Pim & V's young love *Tears*. **ARC Gotten for a Honest Review.** FB Page | Instagram | Bookbub | FB group
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The world building is brilliant 👏 im falling in love with ALL the characters 😍 Vanessa is actually hilarious, her sense of humour is so good and had me cracking up. So blunt but honest 😂 Pim is the ghost ex, I love the details around his character. I don't want to go into too much detail and give spoilers! But it's very well thought out, his connection to Vanessa and how they communicate.. Greyson 🥰😍💖 he is my favourite currently, he is 🔥 and very protective of Vanessa and is the one ALWAYS there for her. He is human but with a foot into their world and a hidden past.... Apollo makes me laugh the way he is, looking forward to knowing him more. Hades is legit 🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍 I need more from him 😋👀 ... I WANT MY OWN ELLIOT!! 🐉🔥😁 Also, Vanessa's mums are hilarious, they both had me cracking up. I love it when I adore the side characters in a story too 😁🙌🏼 I loved all the little "easter eggs" the author left for us, trying to guess what Vanessa is!! That cliffhanger has me so ready and excited for the next book in the series!! Really recommend this book 👌🏼
Honestly, I almost stopped after the first couple chapters. This is my first book by this author, so I hadn’t read any of the related books, and the beginning was kind of confusing because it threw all of the friends and their guys, and just seemed to assume you knew them. However, after the first 2 chapters, it just focuses on Vanessa and her guys, and.I was able to get into the story. I really like Vanessa’s crazy, wacky comments. She is kind of sweetly psychotic. I really liked Grayson, Pim - I am on the fence about, Apollo - kind of an arrogant jerk, but is also hot, and Hades - I just want to hug :), I have some theories about Vanessa and pain, and I’m looking forward to book 2 so I can see if I am right :)
To be honest it took me a few chapters to get into this story and I thought, “this book is not for me.” But Elle Lincoln sucked me in, I felt like her words grabbed me and literally kept me hanging on every word. Once I hit my stride I couldn’t put it down. So many secrets, demanding answers. My biggest question, who are these people? Ok so I know who Apollo and Hades are. But who or what are, Vanessa, Pim and Greyson?
If you thought Sabina was quirky, Vanessa is even quirkier. Is that even possible? Vanessa has her own brand of crazy which I find more appealing then Sabina’s. Sabina’s obsession lies with donuts, Vanessa’s with killing people.
Visions was an interesting and crazy but funny start to Vanessa’s story. I love Elle’s way of story telling, it’s full of intrigue, mystery and strong badass women and four hot guys slash Gods. I can’t wait for the next instalment. Elle Lincoln is a hidden treasure I’m so happy I stumbled across. ⭐️ 5 Star Read ⭐️
I honestly almost gave up after the first couple chapters as I had no idea what was going on. The book appears to be a spin off of other series from the writing so if you’re new to the author like me you don’t have a background to help you through. But I enjoyed the story once it started focusing on the main character and her 4 suitors a couple chapters in. But was still confused throughout it - usually I can pick up on Easter eggs and make my own conclusions about what will happen (wrong or right) but with this book there were so many turns that I really don’t know what to expect next. But will be reading the next book and I expect my rating for that book will be higher as I’ll have a understanding of the basic storyline already.
2.75 I'm obviously against the grain here, but I did not like this book. Unless I'm blind, I did not see this book was a spinoff of another series, but I have come to the conclusion that this must be the case. The book made my head feel fuzzy. There was no logical thought progression, no build up to answers, nothing! For example:. Her boyfriend with amnesia says he has a friend named Liam so our MFC calls up her friend (across the country) and tells her to teleport herself and her mate Liam. This was the first time I had heard of her friend's mate named Liam and miracles of miracles... This was in fact the correct liam. STUPID!!!! There are more examples just like this. Nothing is communicated, nothing is disclosed.... I was done done at 70%, mostly because I was bored, but I made myself read to the end. And yes ... I regret it!
WHY WAS THIS RATED SO HIGH??? WHYYY!!! Not that you have to ask, but I will not be continuing on with this series..
I’m such a fan of this shared universe of characters, so I was looking forward to this book. It’s starts slow. I was slightly confused, losing the plot for like the first 10-15%. But then everything came together, and WHOA.
This is Nessa’s story. We originally met her in the Fated Souls series, and there is a crossover of some characters(in person, and referenced). We meet Nessa shortly after she arrives to Eternal Hollows, a supernatural dead zone. We learn more about her ex Pim, the hot town fireman Greyson, and we see a couple supernatural players interested in Nes as well. We find out about Pim and Nes’s history, and that in itself is a whole story. We also get backstories from the supernatural people involved too. And we learn a lot about Nessa too. There was a BIG secret Nessa had to uncover, and that happens slowly, and all of a sudden, we get bombarded dropped on us left and right!
The steam. 🥵🥵🥵 I can see how the steam was written, and the reasons why. And omg, I had to stop and fan myself. It’s barely started!! I can’t wait until the next book, because 🔥🔥🔥🔥.
This book totally lives up to the hype, and I’m all in for the next!
Story 📖: 5/5 Heat 🔥: 4/5. Cliffhanger 🏔: 3.5/5 ugh. Not a big one, but I can’t help but feel sorry!
Okay, okay… If you love any sort of paranormal book this is for you! Seriously it has every aspect a PNR lover could dream of. We have greek mythology and gods, demons, ghosts, shapeshifters, dragons. You name it and this book probably has it. But I promise you, it may sound like a lot but it is done perfectly!
Let me say that I love Elle Lincoln. The Fated Souls series, which this is a spin off from, is my absolute favorite series. I was worried here because I didn’t know how I would like Vanessa (Nessa) since i loved Sabina. But where Sabina was all “i want snacks and donuts and cupcakes” (which is totally me), Nessa was all “I may kill you” and i loved it. Nessa is a strong FMC, even when she’s ignorant since she doesn’t fully comprehend her powers.
When Elle began rolling out her harem, i didn’t realize Hades and Apollo were *the* Hades and Apollo. And the spin she’s taking on Persephone and Hades? I think it’s GENIUS. Ugh these two men…. Yes i love alphaholes and they do it for me.
Greyson and Pim? There’s still so much to uncover with these two and I can’t wait! I need to know more about who they are, but I’m still swooning over them already.
This series is first person with multiple POV. I highly recommend it!!
This book hooked me, the mysteries surrounding the fmc. She is evasive, quirky and a mystery in itself. I rated this book a 4* because I didn’t really like the fmc. The love of her life committed suicide years ago and she can see and speak to his ghost. Touch him even, but she forgives and forgets to easily in a way that didn’t feel like natural emotions. He would leave her high and dry sexually, running away, leaving her in the underworld with no care for her. She wouldn’t even mention it next time she saw him. Even her inner ramblings didn’t endear her to me like most fmc. Maybe it was because she was afraid to find out who she truly is? Gold rimmed eyes, claiming the men by drawing blood, element control… so many things. The other characters in the story were awesome! I loved her baby dragon, Greyson is loveable, Pim not really, Tate well that ending really confuses me about him, Apollo the arrogant a$$hole, and Hades. I fell in love with his broken character. Her gf’s and mamas, and Artie, all loveable. The surrounding characters is what made me push through and finish the book. You know something big is gonna happen…. And I intend to find out by reading the next book!
Woah, buddy. I wasn't expecting Nessa's story to be as in depth as it was. What we saw of her in Bean's story was just the tip of the iceberg and I loved learning more about her and her abilities. Like with Elle Lincoln's other books, expect some amazing world building with both unexpected and thrilling twists that revolve around Nessa and even some gods! (Because you know we can't continue on in this world without at least a little bit of their involvement)
I have to say that I can't get enough of Nessa. She's so incredibly blunt and says things without sense or without thinking but at the same time they make complete sense in her own Nessa way. She's a fun character to get to know and I'm so glad that she gets her own story and set of guys.
Nessa's abilities that are shown in this book are much more extensive than what we saw in the previous series and so much more complicated. I never expected this much from Nessa but it was clear from the get go that she would be full of surprises. I'm excited to follow along on her journey of her self discovery as she makes herself whole and finds the balance that she needs.
This story is really good. Creative and gets all your fells going. The MMCs are the full range from golden retriever to tortured psychopath. BUT I gave it 3 stars because I spent so much time cursing at the FMC. I have a real hard time with characters that run away from their problems or their truths at the expense of their safety and the people around them. Usually, they get their act together and figure shit out. Not this chick. She had all the facts shoving themselves in her face and she was still like nah lol how are you gonna be in the middle of a magical tornado you created and still be like oh I’m just a normal person lol if I ignore this it will all go away dum de dum dumm hahah I’m reading the next one because I’m extremely curious to see how the Hades situation pans out and to confirm what I suspect or who I suspect Pim really is *sneaky trickster tee-hee. And hopefully Vanessa doesn’t eviserate poor Greysons sweet heart lol
Wowza this book was not at all what I was expecting! It has a little bit of everything in it, romance, action, angst, gods, myths and paranormal. I haven’t read any of Elle’s work before this and it seemed pretty obvious that there was a full series before this that introduced Vanessa and her friends. Despite not having had that introduction I didn’t feel that I couldn’t keep up. I really enjoyed Vanessa’s relationship with her friends, I thought they were fantastic. I loved their bond and their sense of humor. As for Vanessa’s men, I found Pim to be aggravatingly secretive. I liked Greyson a lot and I’m interested to find out more about him. I’m hoping to hear more about Hades and Apollo in the next book. I’m really hoping Apollo breaks bc he’s pretty full of himself right now, of course he is a god so I guess that makes sense. I loved the story, it was full and fast paced but didn’t overwhelm you.
Managed to finish even with my book slump! Though FMC is stubborn af
Possible spoilers!!
I liked this book from the start because the story is captivating! But as it progressed, I got a bit annoyed at the FMC because she is soooooo stubborn and naive, that she even admitted herself as if it wasn't exasperating enough 🤚 She kept on denying facts about herself from the beginning until the end of the book which was annoying. I liked all the characters though and the world building, it's just the plot itself was faulty for me. Book 1 was all about inner conflict that shouldn't have been that big of a deal to the point where it's only a few pages and she is still denying the facts presented about herself which wasn't even a bad thing.
If it didn't drag too much, would have rated it 4.5!
This book is a great slow burn, it took a few pages to get into its stride but once it did, I was hooked. There is sooooo much more to come from this amazing world and these characters. There are so many secrets, hidden truths and unknowns that I just need more, like i need the sun to rise tomorrow.
I love all the characters and how Elle constructs them and the way they grow.... and boy I can't wait to see where they go once they secrets start to unravel. The tension and steam will no doubt continue to rise and I cant wait!
Visions is a brilliantly intriguing read full of mystery, 4 seriously hot guys and one crazy ass FMC. Pick this little treasure up and get ready for a journey to knock your socks off!
September can't come fast enough. Read Bean's story first since you have the time before the release of this book's sequel so you have some insight into the world Vanessa's story takes place in... Once you read a book written by Elle no one will have to recommend or up sell you on reading her again because you'll be hooked. At this point I'm like a crack addict, scratching my arm and impatiently waiting for my next fix. This is not an author who strings you along with tiny scraps and an endless series. This is a unique voice with brilliant plotlines that just need a couple of books to play out. I cannot recommend taking a chance on Elle enough.
Thank you to Elle and Affinity for sending us over this amazing book.
Well this book has alot to offer you wow romance,Gods,paranormal and myths.
Venessa has a great relationship with her friends and throughout the story you can see this in there interactions. Venessa also has a few men within her life Pim, Greyson, Hades and Apollo. Each of these are all interesting characters but hopefully, we get to meet them a little more in the next book.
This book ends in a cliffhanger which got me a little miffed because I personally hate cliffhangers so I now can’t wait to find out what is going to happen in the next book.
Overall enjoyed this book I just felt it started just a little slow for me but once I was was into it I was hooked
Book Details Elle Lincoln is a new author to me and this first book in the Fated Sight Series was pretty good. To understand some of the characters you should read the Fated Souls Series first then you will understand the characters better.
The question I kept asking throughout this book was..what are you!!??? Just that alone made me so entranced with this story till the end which left off in a cliff hanger. Thats besides the point...the men... Apollo, Pim, Greyson, and Hades of boy these slow burns will keep you coming back for more.
Love how each of them give to the story, and you want to know more of that. I do got to say I want to know more about Greyson, and I love Hades tragic story line. Book 2 can't get here soon enough.
I was intrigued by Vanessa when I read Elle Lincoln's Fated Soul's series and was chomping at the bit to start her story. I love love the little town she found inside a magical bubble to help her with her growing, out of control powers. The hot men that are drawn to her. While not as funny (which appealed to me) as the Fated Souls series, it still has enough humor to be interesting. Lots of twists and turns that made turning the pages far into the night way too easy. Warning though. If you hate cliffhangers, beware. This one has a doosie and the next book doesn't come out until September. I may have made a noise that scared my dog and it's the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.
Elle Lincoln is a new to me author and I am so glad that I found her because this book was absolutely fantastic. The characters are intriguing, fierce and complex in their own way. I will definitely be checking out Elle’s other books so I can learn more about some of the other characters in this book.
I am so intrigued by all of the guys but I’m on the fence about Apollo because I don’t trust him or really like him at the moment. Also there is a character that I really hope gets stabbed in the eye with a fork (I’m sure you know who I’m talking about).
Omg what was that ending!!!! I seriously need to know what comes next.
This story and plot is unlike anything I have read before seeing as I haven’t read the previous series linked. But I’ll now be picking that up as well. I loved how Nessa was so insistent on seeking out the truth and finding out everything that has been hidden from her. While we have an ex in the mix most of her love interests are new, and incredible sexy. I don’t yet have a favorite but I’m interested to see how the relationships will develop and play out. I highly recommend this series if you love mystery and plenty of steam.
Vanessa’s story is crazy and full of mystery. It starts slow, then Elle Lincoln sucks you in and spits you out. You don’t know which way is which.
Nessa is so quirky, I love it. Her relationships with her friends is amazing. The chemistry between her and her men is hot. And I absolutely love Elliot!! I need an Elliot in my life.
There’s so many questions I need answered….who or what is Vanessa? Who is Greyson really? What secrets does Pim have? And that cliffhanger…come’ on, I’m dying here. September can’t come fast enough.
This book was one steamy fantasy with a whole bunch of mystery. I loved all of the guys in this book and they sure gave off a lot of sexual tension which sure made this book spicy. That being said I love how Vanessa is crazy but without being too much and we are just along for the ride when it comes to her crazy life and the mystery surrounding her powers. I can't wait for the next book but since I just found out some of Elle Lincoln's other series are connected to this one I know what I will be reading in the meantime. ;)
Elle never disappoints! She makes me laugh sometimes to the point I cried. I love the spinoff of Fated Souls I was excited that not only did the girls from that one called and talk to Nessa but they actually popped in for a little while cause some havoc and made me laugh. Nessa we knew from those books had problems but we didn't know how bad they were. Apollo is a pain in our side. Hades is our God we want to cheer for. Spector ex-boyfriend's. New friends. Old friends. New mystery new surprises. And definitely new laughs
This is a why choose, paranormal series. It is part of the “Fated” world by this author, and though I love it, I’d recommend starting out with the Fated Mate series, as it explains this world much more thoroughly. Aside from that, I love this family. There are gods, ghosts, shades, Underworld and magical themes. Vanessa, or Nessa, is well loved, but she has been keeping secrets. For her own safety, she has moved to a kind of magical dead zone. There is little spice (though it is delicious) but I’m pretty sure there will be more, and soon. Quite a cliff hanger, but the next book awaits, so I need to read it RIGHT NOW! Check this book out!
This book is amazing!!! We meet Vanessa as she starts having visions that she cannot control. She manages to find a hidden town that is a void zone for magic allowing her some relief. Short lived as fate has other ideas causing one thing after another to come her way. She has to figure out what she is while also trying to survive. Makes for fabulous read that I couldn't put down. I totally loved it so I give it 5/5 stars.
Let’s be honest I really enjoyed the book. Nessa was a great character, funny, quirky and just a hot mess. The story line was so interesting and I loved the mystery of Nessa. However I don’t know if I missed the memo but it seems that the story is heading to m/m and again I don’t know what it is with my luck lately but all the books I read lately have not disclaimers about it or maybe I didn’t see it. Regardless if you are into it then go ahead cause it is a good book but sadly won’t continue with the series.
An awesome first book of the series, Fated Sight. I fell in love with the characters in this book. I love that Vanessa’s men are all so different and I love that Vanessa is a little cray-cray. Aren’t all the interesting people a little crazy? The book ended on a cliffhanger but the series is complete so it’s all good! Can’t wait to read the second book in the series.
Another amazing book, another heartbreaking cliffhanger
I'm so excited for Nessa's story but also there are some expectations. This book is so amazing, you guys, I read it twice and it's only been avalible for 24 hours. Obviously theres a cliffhanger, but it's not as brutal as it could have been. Cant wait until September when we get book 2!
I love Nessa and I'm really happy to see her friends and family from the fated souls series. It's a really interesting beginning. I can't wait to see what happens in the next book. It's fun learning more about Nes and who want what she is. I received an ARC and I'm voluntarily leaving an honest review!
Wow this story is very intriguing. Right from the beginning I was hooked. Loved Vanessa as a main character. Also love the guys too. Definitely should have read Fated souls series first. I didn’t. But now I want to. Overall this was a great story and I can’t wait for the next book. Definitely recommend.
