When I saw a new paranormal romance with fated mates, forbidden romance between light and dark, and a brooding half demon - I knew I'd be all in!
We follow Sienna, a light witch who is trying to reconcile her traumatic childhood by finding the dark witches that destroyed her family. But what she doesn't bargain for is stumbling across Damon, a mysterious half witch, half demon who isn't all he seems and holds secrets that could unravel everything she thought she knew.
As they reluctantly join up on a quest to find an artefact that could help take down a powerful enemy, their attraction becomes undeniable. The push and pull between the two MC's is delicious, how Damon fights within himself, wanting what he can't have, mirroring how Sienna feels, and it's so well done.
But what I think I loved the most was the found family aspects within Sienna's coven. Their banter and humour felt real, the love and anger that only someone close to you can give, yet also drive you nuts. It's a beautifully weaved story with characters that come alive and an underlying story arc that will carry over into future books that I, for one, can't wait to follow the journey.
If you enjoy:
