Who likes a story line that keeps you on the edge of your seat wanting more? The story is based around Nadia who is a witch and she starts discovering things that her Nana told her as she was growing up. She needs to protect the Witches. That is all I am going to give on this story.. The ending leaves you wanting more, so hang onto your seat and enjoy the ride. Bravo to the Author!

This was a quick, easy read that was fast-paced, full of magic and mystery and had lots of steamy scenes!
Nadia was just a regular girl, trying to live her best life and enjoying time with her best friends, Rosa and Eva, when suddenly things start happening that can’t be easily explained. Nadia starts having strange dreams, creepy visions, agonizing headaches, and certain things are appearing differently to Nadia than they once did. Nadia soon learns that her distant ancestors actually had magic in their blood and she’s witch; chosen by the Gods to help bring magic back to the people before it ceases to exist at all. With the help of some of her closest friends and family (some with supernatural elements of their own), Nadia will learn to control her power and try to locate her family’s long lost spell book before it ends up in the wrong hands and the magic is lost forever.
This book seriously didn’t hold back! It was one thing after another, exciting and unpredictable, and I loved every single second of it! I can’t wait to find out what happens next!

*Overall: 4.5/5*

Nadia, Nadia... A sweet MFC who thinks she may be ready to heal from a past relationship while having some ‘innocent’ fun with a new acquaintance. Does this ever work? Well, it certainly worked for our girl! This is a ménage romance that is plot forward with a couple of scenes you won’t want to read in public. And don’t let the title fool you, you will experience the magic of witches, fae, and shifters before the end! I especially loved the best friends of this group and their loud, loyal, and lovable ways. It is highly apparent to everyone who picks up this fast-paced read that every detail was considered; world-building, character arcs, interpersonal conflict, and even the formatting. Brava! Can’t wait to get my eyes on the next of the series!

*Originality: 5/5*
*Characters: 5/5*
*Story development: 4/5*
*Writing quality: 4.5/5*
*General tone: lighter tone with some feelings of loneliness. Not a dark read
*Steam level: med/high
*Reading time: 3-4 hours

OMG what an amazing book from a new author. This book was captivating from the first sent nice to the last. I absolutely fell in love with Nadia and her girls Eva and Rosa. But can we talk about Mason and Sebastian oh my oh my. I cannot wait to see how this relationship develops in the next book. I live the banter between the girls and the steam between Nadia and the guys. I live how the author has built this world with witches , fae and shifters and the quest that Nadia is gifted with to return magic to the world. I am sitting on pins and needles waiting for the next book.

This baby here was fast-paced and packed full of everything you want and need. This will grab you from the first page and have you begging for more by the end. Nadia is nothing short of amazing she is curvy, feisty and very entertaining along with her two best friends. Mason is super sexy and very intriguing and I am really looking forward to getting to know him more and see where things are headed. All in all this was a great start into this world and all of these characters and I am looking forward to book 2 and seeing where the author and these characters are going to take us.

I’m highly impressed with this book for many reasons! First it’s my first PNR read and I absolutely love it! Second, it’s this authors first book and it’s amazing! The characters, the plot, the twists and turns and let’s not forget the steam factor is all there. She did an amazing job and oh yeah, the cliffhanger that reels you in and keeps you coming back for more! Great job on your first book!

This is a quick read that leaves you wanting more! 🔥

Wonderful Debut Novel
What a great read. I really enjoyed the Mesoamerican twist. Wonderful character development and I loved the strong female characters throughout. The MFM relationship was uniquely and believably developed. And the spice was on point for the story. I can’t wait to see how the story and the different relationships develop as the series proceeds.

4/5 ⭐️

This is an incredible fast paced start to a new series introducing Nadia and an intriguing world. This had me by the first page. The story is influenced by Aztec/Mayan mythology, that is beautifully entwined in the story and plot. This is a menage romance and I am very excited to read where Nadia's adventure goes next.

A great start to a new series. Angelica Aquiles grabs you from the start and pulls you into the pages. Nadia's life changes forever, when she finds out that magic is real and not just stories that she has been told. Add in some hot alpha males, great friends and an adventure of a life time.

A mystical, astounding, and captivating debut novel, Angelica Aquiles crushed it 👏 I love Nadia, is a curvy sexy FMC, who had great body positivity, we could all use some of that. While she’s been burned and apprehensive of starting a new relationship, she is instantaneously drawn to Mason. Mason meets Nadia and has some explaining to do about her past heritage and her future. Still a little weary of his motives. I adore Rosa and Eva’s protectiveness and their fierce love for Nadia. Sebastian is a whole other issue and although his reasonings are explained, he caused a lot of pain. Emilio, and Mark are both adorable. I can’t wait to see more from Angelica, and where this story will lead 😍

I'm not usually a fan of paranormal romances, but this book did not disappoint! The characters were well written, the drama perfect, and the romance was steamy! This book does end on a cliffhanger, so I'm anxiously awaiting the next book!

Let me just first start by saying, wow! I had no idea what I was getting myself into when starting this book but man, I was just so freaking blown away!
I loved how everything eventually started to click into place and started to really make sense about what was going on. Wasn’t sure what to think of Sebastian coming back but honestly, I was not expecting to get dropped the load of information that he had, that was a whole new level of information that just made things much more interesting (not saying things weren’t already interesting but really added to the story line).
I was shocked when I found out about Mason, I knew he wasn’t quite human but didn’t think he would have kept that kind of important information hidden from Nadia. Glad that didn’t stop things between them but I kind of feel like I had to read into things more with him in the book. The fact that he wasn’t willing to give up Nadia but didn’t want to force her to chose either was exactly what I was hoping to hear. Especially when she let Mason know what her relationship with Sebastian was.
The honesty between all the characters was refreshing, not all things were shared at once and I’m hoping to learn more things about everyone else. Seems like things are really starting to change within them and I can’t wait to see how things go for all of them, the character growth throughout the next book is going to be amazing! There were so many changes already and I know that these guys can handle it. Especially with Sebastian and Mason by Nadia’s side, they are proving that they really care about her and can put their differences aside for her. That is power.
The chemistry between Nadia and Mason is almost fate like and I can’t help but wonder if there are going to be others that are brought into this relationship in later books. Not just with Nadia either, what about Rosa or Eva? Seriously can’t wait for the second book to get here now, I’m going to be fantasizing about what the characters are going to do. I’m totally prepared for this week long book hangover!

A debut novel in the modern world where there are supernatural creatures living amongst us. The witches are here to protect humanity but the evil and conniving fae Queen has destroyed their spell books thus riding the world of magic .... forever. Or did she?

The main female character is Nadia who is Latin American with two best girlfriends, Rosa and Eva. I really loved the depth of love and the deep friendship between the girls. They only want the best for each other and are fiercely protective and loyal. Nadia has no idea she is a witch nor about the task the gods have given her to restore the witches magic.

Enter Mason, the hot caring male who makes her feel things she hasn't in a long time. He soothes her aching heart and brings happiness and joy to her life once more. But Nadia is cautious to start a relationship with Mason she doesn't want to be hurt again. Despite her doubts she gives him a chance and I just love their relationship. But Mason is not all he seems, he has secrets himself, but he proves he is the man for her.

BUT ... what happens when the love of her life, the husband who walked out on her with no explanation returns and wants to pick up right where they left off. Sebastian returns with just one or two secrets of his own and seems to know what Mason is hiding. Can Nadia trust the man who broke her heart? And what does this mean for her and Mason?

Overall, I really enjoyed this book, the story development, world building and the characters blend together to make an amazing story. If this is only her debut novel I can't wait to see what else she writes. And after that surprise at the end I can't wait to see where she takes this story in the next book.

So, I was lucky enough to win an ARC by this new author in a social media competition. There were no requirements or strings and honestly, since it was a first time author, I was tempted to put it in my TBR. But I read the blur and saw Mayan/Aztec elements and it peaked my interest. I'm so glad I gave it a try.

The world creation was quite different from what I've read and I really enjoyed that. Nadia was a sweet yet strong character with just enough sass. There were a lot of other interesting side characters with building stories there that make you hope the author will continue in the world telling stories beyond Nadia and her love life.

As for the guys? Well there were a LOT of hot, strong men. So much so that I couldn't even figure out at first who would be love interest...interest(s) and I wasn't even sure who to root for. Like I said it was a unique story that I really enjoyed.

It was a medium burn with some insta attractions - definitely some good heat. For a new author, I was happy at the lack of errors. It does end with a cliffy that leaves you panting for more, though.

If you want some heat with a good BUNCH of characters and a unique story line, absolutely, give The Forgotten World of Witches a try!

AMAZING DEBUT

This book is fast passed and has some adventure and twist. Does end on a cliffhanger.
My main negative about this book is the FMC is the girl from horror movies. You know, the girl that everyone in the theater is yelling to run out of the house and she runs up the stairs. Well this FMC is in the attic, in lust with the guy with the knife.
There are some confusing dynamics but I cant wait for more from Aquiles to really get into the different dynamics of the characters. Overall it's a great first book by a first time author!

Nadia's world is turned upside down when she finds out her families long buried secret. The fate of magic rests in her hands. She has to uncover centuries worth of secrets to restore the magic to the world. Witches, Shifters, and Fae working together against the odds.

This book is a slow burn, lots of twists and character development. Excited for the next book!

Different

This was actually pretty good ,

Nadia is a newly discovered witch who is really powerful and some sort of saviour

Sebastian is a douchecanoe
Mason is adorable but has secrets that could upset the balance
Marcus well I'm still in the edge with him
Aaron what a deceitful little turd.

I can't wait to see what happens in the next book
