An enchantress holds my father and my birthright in thrall. If I can’t find my mother and bring her back, I have more to lose than just my home. Time is running out, but where do you search when her name has been forbidden on the earthly plane?
My name is Victoria Grey: darkling child, hunted witch, and reluctant leader of this escapade.
Wildeward, my sanctuary, the home I always yearned for, has barred the doors behind me. Before me the crossroads wait and danger stalks my footsteps. London, with its steam and smoke, holds the keys to my future, but a strange tune pulls me beyond the Veil. I shouldn’t heed the Fair Folk’s song; everyone knows time spent in Faerie is never free.
Joining me on this adventure are my two best friends, my stalwart butler, and the five men of Wildeward who complete my inner circle: Doyle, my chilly vampire; Jekyll and Hyde, my werewolf and my hellwolf; Frankie, my reserved fey monster; and Achoris, the blind oracle who stays just out of my reach. My coterie has pledged in magic and blood, but without the final step of commitment we are prey to those that covet.
Summer in Faerie tempts me with answers, but it might challenge everything I thought I understood. New dangers lurk in the shadows. Old secrets are upturned. One thing is certain—the Fair Folk will always take their cut. Am I willing to pay their price or will time run out under the Hot Fey moon?
The days are long, the nights are hot, and the fey are wild.
This is the next installment of Victoria’s Reverse Harem story with some light m/m content and a non-bully romance. Recommended for mature readers.
Gwyneira Blythe is a romance novel junkie with a love of all things witchy, paranormal, and historical, plus the occasional dashes of sci-fi when the mood hits.
She loves stroopwafels with her hot beverages, believes there will never be a thing as too much garlic, lives for ASMR music while writing, and deep down holds tight to the belief that magic is real and in all of us.
When she's not writing, it's a mad world of toddler tantrums, dogs barking, and a cat dashing underfoot all while sneaking kisses from the bemused husband.

HOT FEY MOON is the fourth book in the Wildeward Academy series and we rejoin Victoria and her coterie as they prepare to leave Wildeward. Frankie is back in the fold but hasn't... erm... 'completed' his bond with Victoria.
I LOVE THE LODGE!!! Ms Blythe, please! I'm begging you. Somehow, please get Victoria back to the Lodge. I'm not bothered about the Academy, but if she could get her Lodge back, I'd be eternally grateful. Thanking you in advance!
Ahem, now, back to the story. Achoris continues to be shady although this time you find out a little more about it. I can't wait for his story, just to find out all about him. He keeps so much hidden.
Frankie and Victoria want to complete their bond but the timing is never quite right. This is unfortunate as he becomes hot property once they're in Fairyland. Oh, and what a wonderful place that is. Really made me want to go for a visit! And because I know the written word doesn't always convey the meaning, let me just clarify that that was sarcasm! What a place. And those cuffs. Eurgh!!!
Some secrets are spoken, but more are still kept hidden. Teasers abound (I think I know who the wolves were with Flis) and the story continues to amaze. The ending was just perfect. Victoria is showing her strength and it is simply perfect. I love how I am drawn into each book fully, loving the story and the character it focuses on. But, once it has been completed, with the hints given by this amazing author, I am immediately looking forward to the next.
This series continues to enthral me with every word and scene. A fantastic story that I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending... but, please, start from book one so you get the full picture.

Finishing this one was hard I really wanted to finish this series but I think I am going to fail. The first book and the second held a lot of promise for me, the blurb was intriguing and also I usually like my reverse harems with complete interaction between the members; it doesn't have to be everyone but at least some of the guys and this series had that too buttttttt. I don't know something somewhere went wrong cuz even with how distinct the harem members were and the piqued curiosity about how it all ends, I don't think I'll even be able to read book five. I would like to note that even though it was in a school setting it wasn't bully RH, I have not tried a bully RH series; I think I should cuz people gush about them but I read Good Girl by Sam Hall and if that's the type of bullying maybe I won't. Yeah, so it's an academic setting and the harem members are added slowly though we get to know who they all are from the beginning. So you can see the series has some really good things about it but they are lags and we have certain jumps that aren't really explained, I don't know, didn't work out for me.

The more books I read in this series, the more I like it. I'm invested in these characters and seeing how they navigate the twists and turns of the complex plot. Thank goodness the author decided to add another book to this series! In book 4, the characters face a lot of setbacks but the coterie manages to survive together, and I love the ending and the newfound confidence and determination the main character has. I really want to see how she takes on the sorceress and I'm hoping we learn more about the prisoners of the fae queen (I've got my suspicions about the captured wolves) in the next book.
After the fast pace and action of the previous book, this one slows down considerably. A lot of the narrative is just kind of...waiting. We go somewhere and wait, then we go somewhere else and wait some more, then we're flung somewhere else again and wait even more. We did learn some interesting things regarding Victoria's mom and got Frankie's induction into the inner circle, but those were about the only major narrative points we got. The characters and their relationships are still strong, as they've always been, and kept my interest all the way through. Here's to seeing how things come together in the end!
Book four is full of intrigue, much better than book three! Some answers are answered, finally! Our gal is coming into her own. Frankie, omg! Loved the scene between them! Her actions in fairy were very controlled. The wolves telling Jekyll and Hyde not to return have me wanting them to go back and and clean the campus out of its rotting infestation. I wish she'd have dehorned the fairy princess, her mom too with their nasty selves! All in all this book brought me back and has me waiting eagerly for the next book!
So let me just start out by saying I want to never step a foot into Faerie. This book was amazing just like the 3 before it. We get to know Frankie a lot more. Achoris seems a bit shady in this one. I can't wait for the next book it should be a really great showdown. GB is a brilliant writer that sucks you into the stories she tells. Can't wait for you all to read this one.
