Being this is the first of this type of book I've ever read I have thoughts. Overall the entire cast is very superficial and looks deep. If you enjoy books that describe nothing but super model level looks, and have everyone fawning over everyone, this book has all of that. Also, the level of "we're awesome, everyone is rich, let's zoolander this shit" made me laugh out loud. With each reveal I kept thinking "oh of course you are"

The "i'm gay" bit really should have been left out, it seemed to only be there to wave that flag when in the end all of the cast was indifferent to sex organs when it came to being attracted to someone. Someone doesn't "turn" a gay person, so it kind of shredded that ending storyline for me.

Cassandras personal arc of not having faith in herself probably would have been solved a lot sooner had she not been surrounded by a house of hunks constantly talking about how awesome they are. ha. kidding. Her personal growth was empowering, yet sad. It took her so long to realized that she has the power within her all along, and just needed to be self confident. Is that a spoiler? I don't think so.

I was very surprised at the level of erotica. Not sure if that is normal for this genre, romance had me thinking fade to black sex scenes, but this was full on descriptions.

The storyline was very wordy and contained much more dialogue than I expected. I think more than 75% of the book was dialogue. It was super intriguing to read a book written in this manner. There were many side tangents, and flash backs used as info dumping moments. The ending was very spelled out, drawing out every line for the reader, making sure every dot was verbally connected. A vast contrast to what I usually read. Overall writing quality was good, and I can see the appeal to these stories.

Not sure if I will read another book in this genre but had to check it out just for giggles. I looked into this series, and love that there are going to be spin off series for other super natural characters within this story. Great way to spread out in the world and get to know all the aspects. Which is my favorite way to read.… (mere)

A witch walks into a bar. There is a wolf shifter, dragon shifter, fallen Angel and a hellhound. Sounds like the start of some supernatural joke right? Wrong 😉. Silver Spell Solange is the youngest witch in her family, which also makes her crazy powerful. She also happens to have a huge heart, kind soul, and rugged determination. As long as she can recall, her main goal was to get accepted into the S.S.S. or Supernatural Spy Academy. One small glitch...they only accept shifters to THE most elite school. That stipulation didn't slow down Silver. Convinced she will somehow make it in, she applied once more. Little does our girl know that gaining acceptance to said school will be the easy part.... STAYING will be the hard part. Having been on the outside most of her life, it's at this school where she finds herself, her heart, and her true capabilities. Get ready for the ride of your life!!! This amazingly resilient, strong and kind young woman and her hot guys (remember the joke) go through numerous trials and tribulations. Will it rip them apart or make them stronger? Silver also discovers a few shocking revelations along the way. Lots of action, intrigue and one seriously kick butt female made my day!!! I literally couldn't put the book down until I finished it!!!! Now I'm desperate for the next in this new series!! Long live Silver and her power harem!!!… (mere)

Brianne Marie Harlowe comes from a strong witch family. Her parents are both on the council, and her beloved older sister Starlight is one of the top agents at Witchling Star Agency. Suffice to say her family are well known and powerful, yet very down to earth. She adores her family and her BFF Elijah that she'd grown up with. In fact she has a massive crush on the guy too. At age sixteen, Bri has been accepted early into Witchling Academy thanks to her intellect and strong powers. Thankfully Elijah is also going to attend 😁. Bri thought everything was going great...as long as her Spell Traveling power doesn't magically transport her to strange places without her choosing to do so. If only life remained so simple. Within hours all she'd known her life to be would be turned on its head. The four hottest guys in the school end up in her dorm, AND she's sharing a room with one of the them. Meet days after attending, Elijah starts drifting away and acting like someone completely different. Rumors and death threats toward Bri begin to chip away at her self esteem, but she refuses to allow bullies to reign. Pull up a seat for the fun, antics, friendship, and action. This book is farthest from boring. It drew me in gleefully from the first moment. I for one hope Elijah grows up and realizes what a jerk he's been. Instead of trusting the girl who repeatedly saved him from his alcoholic father, and oodles of other things, and has been in his life from childhood he chooses to believe the rumor mill before asking her himself. If roles were reversed Bri would never believe rumors over her friend! It's Elijah really a friend of just a user? I guess we'll learn more in the next book...I look forward to seeing what happens with her powers, the notorious four, and anything else that comes her way. For somehow I think there a lot more to come 😊. Outstanding debut!!!!! Can't wait for more.… (mere)

Hot diggity dog I LOVE this book, and the main badass character of Jade! Talk about being scrappy, having perseverance, a huge heart, combined with deep seeded insecurities and the need to protect the innocent. Her entire family dead before she turned eight, Jade grew up a street rat. Having an unprecedented eight elements within her had her running from people constantly trying to kidnap her for the Black Market. Thankfully someone found her and took her into his home, becoming her foster father. And so began her new life learning to become a Tracker. Once she turned eighteen she promised her dad she'd go to Tracker Academy even though she knew most of the curriculum anyway 😉. What she wasn't expecting are the FOUR super yummy identical brothers who arrived to said Academy on the same day. Nor was she expecting to become bait, or past terrors coming back to haunt her in present day. Intrigue, mystery, lots of bad ass adventure, hot guys, and at the center one slightly insecure yet seriously awesome female called Jade. All for one? This Hive is out for blood. Nobody messes with Jade 😊. I loved this start of a new series and can't wait for more!!!!… (mere)
