Book Review: The Coven by Harper L Woods (Coven of Bones Book 1)

     Willow has been raised her entire life to join the coven and tear it down from the inside. Her father made sure of it. Male witches must choose between keeping their powers and reproducing, but since he was hidden by his sister instead of being reported to the council he lived. She however, never survived the academy. Willow is the only product of two powered witches and she must keep that heritage a secret if she is to fulfil her goal. Protect her own little brother and destroy the Coven. But, Alaric is throwing a wrench in her plans. 

    This book was in one of my smut groups as a "hey I could not finish this book because of all the satanic elements". Well that resulted in me needing to read it and downloading it immediately as my TBR mourned the loss of actually being touched. I regret nothing. 

    Reading this book quickly spiraled into downloading and reading book 2 because this book ends on one hell of a cliff-hanger. I loved it. All of the main elements were wrapped up and then bam. Right in your face with something that you needed to keep reading. I loved Willow and I loved Alaric. I have to say that if you told me who he was at the very beginning of the book I wouldn't have believed it, but by midway through? Absolutely. 

    After the initial forest scene I was beyond hooked on this book and it's sassy main character. I made my best work friend and aunt both download it. Well Tina technically bought the physical copy, but I think that was solely for the purpose of annoying her very Christian wife. I love that about and for her. They both also absolutely adored this book and I have yet to hear anything from Tina's wife about me being a bad influence over it so I think I'm safe. 

    This is action, adventure, smut, and so many feels. He is the epitome of morally grey and you have no idea just how much until book 2. I genuinely hated one of the characters in this book, Iban. Second book did not disappoint in that regard, but you'll have to read that yourself after you finish this book. Although, literally anyone on the Council is also fair game for that title. 

    I can't say for certain which type of power Willow had that I loved the most, although it is probably the Earth magic just because of the aforementioned forest scene and she is pretty amazing at it. Then there is Alaric Throne. Gods I love a touch her and die book and I already cannot wait till book 3 comes out. I will be adding these books to my shelves as they are amazing, and have sprayed edges.

Book Review: Psycho Shifters by Jasmine Mas (Cruel Shifterverse Book 1)

     Sadie is a null in a land of shifters. Actually, she is less than that. She is a null servant. The barkeeper that has "raised" her and her younger sister has beat her every day until she is covered in scars, but his name is literally Dick so what did she expect? At least he wasn't hurting her sister. When her sister was away at school for the semester Sadie's psychotic "numb" kicked in and told her just what to do to kill Dick. She would have too if some cloaked guy hadn't shown up, demanded she get tested, and dragged her away. She woke up in a barracks being told she is an Alpha and has to fight in a war. She has 3 roommates that are the Sun God's gift to women, but she will never survive being their roommates let alone the queen's attacks. 

    I found this book in my smut group and I am going to do my absolute best to stick with only what happened in this book because I am on book 6 of this series now. I am afraid my life will end when this series does. I love this book so much that I cannot put it into words. I am convinced my best friend received 90% worth of this book in screenshots and highlights while I was reading it and every book since of this series. 

    Sadie is a spirit animal. She is an absolute beast...in her other form. As a human....well she is pathetic, but she is very loved. By me. She can eviscerate giant spiders, but can't run to save her life. And the mouth on that woman. Moon Goddess help us. 

    In this book we get to meet Archer, Jax, and Cobra and find out all the fun little things on Sadie's past. Oh and we meet Aran. He is pretty great too in a best friend kinda way. Big love for that character. Cobra's murdery ass is my favorite. I am not joking. He is a homicidal maniac, but it is part of his charm. Jax is the teddy bear and Archer....well he is a little unhinged. I ended this book with feels about Archer, but you get to learn all about that on your own. 

    Book 1 in this series is VERY low spice. I am talking 1 oral scene in 700 pages.  I promise this series gets spicier. Until the spice soak up that plot, because there is so much that happens and you are going to love every single second of it. 700 pages seems like a lot until you are reading this book then BEGGING for more when it is over. I have never downloaded a book 2 as fast as I did Psycho Fae. That review will be coming at some point soon because I loved that book as well. Like I said completely on book 6 and over halfway through it. 

    Seriously though this is my favorite series that I have come across in a very long time. There is spice, action, and so much attitude. There is a lot of polytheism and realms in the book and it is very firmly in the paranormal category of smut between the shifters, fae, and everything else you will meet later. I will warn you that there are an absolute ton of remarks about death to the patriarchy and that theme will continue. Very pro women. And pro sluttiness. Which is more of a goal than a truth considering she is a virgin, but whatever. 

    Every single book in this series will be being bought and added to my physical shelf for shelf trophies that I will be reading again and again when I am in a slump. I will also force it upon my friends. This will be a hostage situation. My husband has already been held hostage on it multiple times, but he will live.
