Shifter's Curse #1

Moon Enchanted

Rate this book
I am being hunted.

Trapped by the creatures I never believed were real.

Now I have to surrender if I want to survive.

I was just an artist trying to make it in New York City. I had no idea all the stories were true. Until I stumbled into a shop run by witches, my birthmark melted away, my eyes started to glow, and suddenly every werewolf in the city was trying to find me.

A werewolf rescues me from one nightmare and delivers me into another. Now I’m in a castle with three of the most gorgeous men I’ve ever seen. Both my captors and my saviors. They’re Alphas. Wolves. Kings. And cursed.

To break their curse? It sounds simple enough. Find the descendant of the witch who cursed them. Love her. Mate with her. Only the heiress to the last line of witches?

That’s me.

But my Alphas aren’t the only ones who want to claim me. The rival pack that attacked me will use anything to keep the curse alive, including my death. They won’t stop until I’m kidnapped or killed, so I need to decide whether to risk my life, or risk my heart.

Moon Enchanted is the first book in a steamy, medium-burn reverse harem fantasy romance series. No choosing, no cheating. Mature readers only!

An interesting and unique story. The author has created a fascinating new mythos and filled it with the supernatural. The main character is unaware of her heritage as a Witch and her connection with 3 wolf shifters. There is an interesting back story that affects the entirety of the book. The ending left me wanting the next book in the series

beauty in the beast vibes

Spice: 4/5

What a great twist on a classic beauty and the beast tale. This story has everything you’ll love, fated mates, a tad bit of enemies to loves, magic, etc. I’m so obsessed with this story and this CLIFFHANGER AT 11PM IS GOING TO KEEP ME UP ALL NIGHT!

Curse shifter

This wasn't my cup of tea. Our H seems to be not very bright, her inner thoughts of being a prisoner and not going home and getting her way are bratty and eye rolling. Wolf's are trying to kill her, yet, because she can't choose to go home and die she's being held against her will? She has a hard time wrapping her mind around the other world stuff, yet has been told stories about this same place since a child? The wolfs, her wolfs, I was so confused how they knew they would one day have a mate, yet fell in love with another women? Granted she passed away, but seriously why? Because now that they have actually found their mate its like there is no excitement. I honestly feel bad for our H, she's like a second consolation prize. I also want to say that her trying spells in the spell book and one of the words she knew from harry potter? Lol Dnf @67%

Witch/wolf shifter why-choose romance

📖 Moon Enchanted by Devyn Sinclair
🎙️ Narrated by Sunmer Roberts and Shauna Grindell

Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5
Spice: 🌶️🌶️ / 5
Narration: 🎙️🎙️🎙️/ 5

I l enjoyed this story, but it just didn’t click with me. It’s a supernatural romance about a woman who discovers she’s a witch after the magical masking spell is removed. She quickly finds herself hunted by supernatural creatures trying to kill her.

Her only protection comes from three wolf shifters who are her fated mates.

I can’t really place why I didn’t connect with this story. It ends in a cliffhanger, but I’m debating if I’m going to read the next book.

If I do try the next book in the series, I’ll skip the audio. The male narrator had a cadence to his words that didn’t jive for me. Kudos to the narration team, though. The MMCs have Irish, Scottish, and British accents and they performed each of them well.

TLDR: Witch/wolf shifter why-choose romance. First of a trilogy. Ends on a cliffhanger.

A clever twist on the RH Paranormal romance. Cora (FMC) gets drawn into a new Supernatural world, in the middle of a war and living with 3 hot wolves - Edward, Brandon and Knox. Cora is a contradiction of a character. Shes smart, funny but also naive especially in regards to herself and her background (through no fault of her own). I loved the dynamic between her and the guys though. That cliffhanger ending was just knockout!! Moon enchanted was a brilliant start to this series and i really enjoyed reading it

I really can’t rate this fairly because it’s total trash, but that’s what I wanted, and it delivered, soooo….

Anyway. If you want a book where a normal girl finds out she’s a witch and fucks 3 hot guys from different parts of the UK in a castle, and also they’re wolves, and also it’s beauty and the beast, and also there’s one foursome scene, but none of the guys touch each other, even though (if I understood correctly?) one of them sucks her clit while the other fucks her so clearly the licker didn’t mind having a thrusting dick .5 inches from his face, so really would it have killed them just to fuck??…. If that’s the book you want, this is that book.

Series Review 4 Stars

This story is about a girl and her three fated wolf shifter mates. The first book in this series strongly resembles Beauty and the Beast; though, I'm not sure I'd go so far as to call it a retelling.

One day, a young New York artist discovers she is a witch. Cora (FMC) unknowingly enters a magic shop, and a witch removes the bindings placed over her power from birth. Cora's day goes from bad to worse when she finds herself chained and imprisoned in an old castle with three cursed Kings.

This was a good series, and I enjoyed reading it, though some tropes made me want to close the books and DNF them early on. This series had one of my most hated tropes: "the dead lover." The men knew their lover, Rose, wasn't their mate but tried to bind her to them as a mate anyway, knowing they would be forever forsaking their true mate for Rose. Now, long after Rose's death, the men are so broken and hardened by their grief that most of them don't care about the woman fate chose for them. Unfortunately, they don't have a choice because Cora is their only hope to break the curse that has trapped them for the past four centuries.

The writing in this series was excellent. The world-building was phenomenal. The character-building was pretty good, but the relationship development was shit. The men pretty much hate Cora from the start, though there is the token ladies' man who flirts with her anyway. They don't care if Cora dies; they don't care if they hurt her. Then, with no warning whatsoever, they're all having sex and acknowledging the mate bond. Even Edward, who hates Cora the worst, seems to change his mind so quickly that it gave me whiplash, though he held out longer than the other two.

The author did an excellent job of keeping us guessing about the plot after the first book. Her ideas were original, and I would never have guessed at all the twists and turns. Overall, this was a good series, but I'm unsure how to rate it. It deserves a better rating than 3.5, but it wasn't good enough to be rated 4 stars.

Three things happen in this book: they run from a rival pack, they realize they are Mates, and they get over an ex-lover.

Any witchiness is minor. There is barely any personality beyond Mate.

Dead lover trope and, according to reviews, they treat their "mate" terribly.

A werewolf beauty and the beast retelling. It was good but nothing special. It didn’t really have anything super unique to set it apart from books I’ve read that are very similar.

OMG! Devyn Sinclair has done it again, she has written a book that has totally ensnared me. I first fell in love with her writing with the War of Heavenly Fire series and now she's done it again with Moon Enchanted, the first book in the Shifter's Curse series and it was phenomenal. This multiple point-of-view is a fast-burn paranormal romance that made me have all the feels and with fantastic characters who I love from the start.

The world-building was fantastic, another world (called Otherworld) that is filled with all kinds of supernatural creatures that have their own leadership and laws. In the middle of that are three alphas who are bonded like brothers, Edward, Brandon, and Knox were cursed by a group of witches for a reason that really pissed me off. Logical and sensibility there was no reason to curse them but due to prejudices against their kind by witches, they were punished. The guys are great Brandon is playful, while Knox most definitely has his alpha showing but not in a bad way and then there is Edward who is dealing with a lot of Darkness. The guys lost someone they loved long ago and they have been living in that misery for a while but Brandon and Knox are willing to try and move on it was Edward who let it take him over completely, the pain being unreal.

Then the guys stumble upon Cora who doesn't know she is a witch (or that the supernatural even exist) and is in danger when she is rescued by Brandon and taken to a freaking palace. Cora is quite the character, she has her funny quips but she didn't exactly take things too badly when basically kidnapped, however, she did fight like heck and argue until she couldn't anymore. I have to give her stubbornness credit, she didn't fold and fought back until it was reasonable not to. Cora didn't have a problem admitting to herself that stuff was weird or how she felt but she took everything in stride and the more time she spent with the guys the more she was able to piece things together and the closer she got to them.

Seeing Cora put together information about the curse piece by piece, gathering information, and learning the history was interesting. Devyn has written a really interesting plot that was full of magic and had flashbacks that help move the story along not to mention helps with understanding the characters even better. Not to mention the Gaelic words and the Otherworld words that give the story that adds an extra layer to the story, I loved learning the new words and how they were applied to the story. After learning the history of the Otherworld and seeing a few of its inhabitants I have a clear picture but would love to see more of that world and more supernaturals in the next book.

I've been waiting on Devyn's latest book and Moon Enchanted was more than I could have hoped for. It was funny and heart-aching, steamy and romantic, with magic, werewolves, witches, curses, great world-building, and fantastic characters. I loved every moment of this book and am eagerly looking forward to the next book in the series.

This is the first book I have read by the author and it will not be the last! This is the first book in a new series and boy does it take off! Cora is an artist living in New York, she gets these images in her mind that she then has to paint and they come out extremely unique and one of a kind. While she is selling her latest piece to a woman who owns a curio shop, she finds that a part of her has been blocked but when the woman unblocks it she unleashes a power that hasn't been seen in a while. Cora is then ripped from her world and thrown to the wolves (literally and figuratively) in a whole new world. With 3 shifter kings as her only hope will she be able to decipher and break a curse that was made 400 years ago?

I must say that what really got me- and a lot of other readers I see- is the description and the world-building in this book. There is no way to not picture it all and you do get totally consumed with the story. The characters have their individual traits- and none are overly Aholish like a lot of books have been having recently. They all are individuals but when they do come together and work as a team it is seamless and flawless. It is a very interesting storyline to have 3 Alphas together so it is a fresh idea and the 'Otherworld' is very unique as well.

I can not wait for the next book in this series, I need to know what happens next! A fantastic read and I would definitely recommend it to PNR RH fans of shifters and witches as well as fated mates.

Spoilers.


Pretty baseline paranormal romance with this one. It was just a little boring for me. Just over half the book of nothing happening except that she gets told about the supernatural world and we get the internal longing and guilt from all three men. Which honestly if you blocked out the name at the beginning of the chapter I'm not sure I would be able to tell them apart. They all had the same hangups and the same sadness and nothing stood out as a "these guys are all needed in this story" maybe that changes as the series goes on but it just wasn't here.

I think it would've been easier to read and continue the series if I felt something for the characters and I just don't unfortunately

HOLY CRAP. If I could give this more stars, I would. This book took hold of me, and held on til the very last page. I started it only intending to get a couple chapters in before I had to start doing stuff around the house…. Suffice to say nothing got done around my house, and I finished the book. I am completely in love with this series, just from this first book, and I absolutely cannot wait for the next one. The characters, the world building, the imagery the author puts into your head. All of it is amazing and awe inspiring, and I can’t get over it. Please do yourself a favor and read it.

What a crazy ride poor Cora is taken on. When she sells a painting and the owner does something to her birthmark. Things take a turn, that end up with her in the arms of Brandon, Edward and Knox.
As she works things out through the many twists we see the book come to and ending leaving you needing more. This book also has some steam to it too so you definitely won't be disappointed you dived into this book

A unique and interesting book unlike anything I have read. It is a great read for anyone looking for fated mates or a new magically world to explore. I like the way the author brought closure to what I thought was going to be the main issue for the series and then through a twist it’s like what! I can’t wait to read what happens next!

Interesting fantasy shifter romance with RH. FMC main gets thrown into magical war after learning that magic and magical creatures really exist. A spell hiding her from being hunted is broken and her existence is revealed to all who thought she was lost. She must break the curse over her mates in order to save the world and right the wrongs that happened when the first women they loved was killed.

Trilogy, shifters, magic, reverse harem (no m/m)

Cora is a painter who doesn't understand where she gets her ideas from. Her life changes forever after she drops a painting off to a client. This book has unique views on wolves and witches. Some interesting twists and steamy scences.

Did it make sense? Kinda.
Was it good? Not really.
Did I enjoy it? Sure.

It’s mostly spice, which is an understandable response to being thrust into a strange world with magic, secrets, and irresistible wolf shifters.

Why the hell not.

I loved the overall plot line of this book. A unique twist on the werewolf/witch/fae trope with loads of twists and turns.

Loved Cora: her personality, backstory and inner strength is something I really enjoyed. She's not your typical baddie but one with a backbone of steel and nerves of platinum. Despite being essentially kidnapped and taken to a different country, she doesn't lose her mind and go full crazy. I love that so, so much.

The guys backstory is sad but weirdly heart-warming as well. I don't know why, but seeing the love they had for Rose and their struggles with their past was beautifully tragic.

That ending was rude and now I feel like a drug addict waiting for their next fix because I'm twitching with need. 😂😂

I really enjoyed this start of a new series. There was great world building that really helped pull me in. The character and relationship development were also quite good, providing some delicious steamy moments. The plot line was easy to get attached to, and with a bit of an intense cliffhanger, I'm ready for more!
