This was a great second book to the Starfall series. Loved getting a more in-depth look into Caroline & her family's curse. Also loved the introduction of Ben & his kids. The kids brought an entirely new dynamic to the story & the entire household. The mystery behind the locks is a great story that has continued throughout both books.

This is another smash hit from Lena! I knew Lee & Annie's story would be fantastic and Lena did not disappoint. I do have to say that Royal King has me so intrigued though. 

After years of being "just friends" Lee really went full court press on Annie & I loved every minute. I really enjoyed learning about Margo & how Lee, Margo & Annie's friendship evolved. I absolutely loved the dates that the Bluebirds put on for the auction. Seeing the deeper more serious side of Lee after all the joking, pranks & fun was refreshing.

Loved Beau & Bailey. I love that no matter what Bailey saw right through Beau's fake mask. They both were trying to find themselves and make a fresh start without the stigma of their last names. Beau's protective over Bailey and Bailey is there for Beau at 2:11. They both needed each other to help move on with their lives. It was a great ending to this series.

Such a cute story! Love the center for all the kids, supernatural or not. I also love that Vi was so invested in all the kids. Love the second chance angle and that Lincoln was finally able to tell Vi what happened all those years ago. It was a true coming of age story, if not a bit later in life. The triplets were hilarious as well as Vi's friends.

What a great story. Loved listening to the audible book with all the characters. It truly felt like a movie. The story itself was funny & heartwarming with mystery and a whole bunch of magic. The thing I really loved was the overall message. We all mess up in life. It's how we get back up & fix our mistakes that counts.

💫Curses & Chaos: Book 1

Love that we got another look at Error & Exorcisms from another couples point of view. A lot of this was a recap, but I loved getting more insight into Fiona's & Theo's life and trials. Also loved that we got to see what happened after Desmond attacked and how the gate was closed!!

💫Hexes & Hijinks: Book 2

This was a great story that was full of action, drama & closure. Love that we got to see more about Fiona & her relationship with her family. But the best part was seeing all the support Fiona had just for doing what she felt was right. Learning about her real family & what happened to them could have left her bitter, but she just wanted justice.

💫Spells & Slip-Ups: Book 1

Good story and a quick read. The idea of being a witch but making all things witchy go wonky is an intriguing idea. Also, the wolf mate bond angle is a fresh take. 

Love the idea of an FBI for magic (ABI). In Wren's case, it was more punishment, but fate really was planning things out for Wren with her found family and Nico. Add the fact that Wren has natural leadership & intellectual prowess it really gave her a chance for a new life.

💫Magic & Mayhem: Book 2

And I thought Wren's family was a piece of work. Nico's started out great, but it took a turn. I'm glad some questions were answered, but depths of deceit were also uncovered. 

The hit on Wren and the number of women missing is just alarming. Plus, the fact that the ABI hadn't noticed is sad. Another twist there at the end of book 2, though. I didn't see that coming. Left more questions than answers.

💫Errors & Exorcisms: Book 3

Great way to wrap up Wren & Nico's story. My gut was just so sad for Nico after losing Wren. They way his family made amends & helped Nico was fantastic. 

Loved that Zephyr was able to explain how Wren got her powers and gave her the closure she didn't think she needed. But I absolutely loved that her ancestors would not give into Wren's Grandma, Mom & Aunt. Ghost was the icing on the cake, though.

Psycho Academy: Book 4

Take Mulan, add vampires, fae & shifters, & this is the result. Wow. There is a lot to unpack in this book. There is a lot of death, torture & self-discovery in this story. Love that John came into the picture like Sadie did. Also, it's interesting that Jinx is Aran's voice. I was not expecting the twist at the end, but I knew she would have to reveal herself eventually.

Psycho Devils: Book 5

This story has taken an even darker turn than book 4. The Legionaire games are similar to the Fae Games. I'm not digging this plot line. Highlights of this book is the banter once again between Sadie and Aran. Jinx is another highlight, even though I'm not really understanding or enjoying her plot line.

Psycho Shifters: Book 1

What an interesting take on the shifter world. With ABOs (Alphas, Betas & Omegas) being the military force and only alphas shifting. Training centers near the portals to other realms for the ABOs to train is interesting. 

The relationship between the 4 alphas is very complex & dark. They are all pulled toward each other even though their baggage is detrimental to their relationships. There is a lot of mystery surrounding the war with lots of opportunities for spies to take advantage of.

Psycho Fae: Book 2

Whoa, this book was full of action. I loved it. The Fae Games, with all the groups fighting for survival, was like a cross between gladiator & hunger games. 

I loved discovering along with Sadie about her abilities & seeing the POVs from the guys. Loved all the twists at the end cause there were a few!

Psycho Beasts: Book 3

This story is full of fight club meets godfather vibes!! With the don being Cobra's father, you get all the dark mafia story lines for days. It is full of deception, trials, intrigue, & mystery. Love how each realm introduces another level to unfolding the mystery about the Numb and the war.

Sadie and Aran crack me up. I laughed so many times over their banter. I love all the girl's personalities, especially Jinx. Sadie's blood trait is cool, and I love how she developed it. I have to say that I love that the guys and Sadie finally came together and that they all did the Alpha trials for the Don together.

Tempted: Book 1

Interesting spin on witches vs shifter. I loved how Aiden found Skye and chose her. It is interesting about the type of magic Skye has. Never have I read about this type, and I find it so intriguing. And that was a twist & cliffhanger at the end. 

Ensnared: Book 2

After being left on a cliffhanger, finding out what happened was important. I love this new spin on sharing magic. Of course, Ty was passed, but Jack's reaction melted my heart. He is just a pure soul. I love watching the relationship between all three develop. Again, I'm left on a cliffy & not happy with Aiden, but I can't wait to see what happens next. 

Seduced: Book 3 

What a way to finish off the series. There were so many twists and mystery, but I loved the way the entire village turned and supported Skye. They way they banded together to protect each other was heartwarming. I am happy that Skye found her place and got the closure she needed, as sad as that was.

Such a great story. It took all the best parts of Practical Magic, Charmed & The Ghost Whisperer & rolled it into one. I loved the premise of being the caretaker for the house & all the "inhabitants". But finding her Coven and helping the ghosts cross over was the highlight. 

I loved the personality of both Carolyn & Alice. They both were hilarious and helped balance each other. The entire story and the characters were charming, funny & interesting. Can't wait for more.
