猡� 3.5 stars, rounded up.

I've mentioned that my recent experiences with St Clare books have been VERY hit and miss, with mostly misses. Potted history: I discovered her in December 2020, loved the Shifter Wars books, proceeded to read literally her entire backlist and mostly loved them too. I didn't enjoy her collabs with Shannon Mayer, but then I rarely enjoy author collabs, so I didn't read too much into that. Then the Magical Dating Agency trilogy came out... and I was honestly shocked at ...more

All the stars. What a fabulous first read of 2023.

This is the first book in a new spin off series from the original trilogy, Blood Trials, that focused on Vampires. Shifter Wars is anithee trilogy spin off focused on werewolves. This time, we're focused on the witches.

Before I go any further, if you have not read the other two trilogies, you absolutely must. These series are probably my favourite books I've read in the last 5 years or so and are absolutely fantastic.

What they all have, including All the stars. What a fabulous first read of 2023.

What they all have, including this new series, are the ingredients that make up too grade Urban Fantasy: excellent, well-realised and original world-building, fmc who is imperfect and flawed, but you absolutely adore, a delicious slow burn (ish) backwards and forwards sort of romance that has just the right amount of angst, a seamless and fast paced plot, that has the right about of character progression and action and excellent writing.

I enjoyed Tempest a lot. I'd say she is a lot more damaged that the previous two heroines, and I thiught her trauma was dealt with well. I loved her love if the outrageous and how unapologetically herself she is. Wild and her had sizzling chemistry and I thought the build of their relationship was well done.

The plot revolves around Tempest returning to the Covern of her mother and Grandmother, after swearing to her mother she never would, after her mother and Grandmother ran away for reasons unknown before she was born. Considering her mother, Grahdmother and twin sister tragically died in an attack from an u known creature not too long ago, Tempest is struggling. When a new tether suddenly appears inside her, signaling a new connection that might give her a reason to keep going, she breaks he rpromise to her mother and returns, hoping the connection will lead her to family she never knew she had.

Needless to say, things do not go as planned, and she does not find what she expected.

Honestly, I can't fault these books. If Urban Fantasy is your go to, and you like a dollop of romance thrown in, you must read this! ...more

I love the first two series in this world but I had a hard time getting into this one at first. I'm glad I stuck with it though because when I got into it, it sucked me in completely. ...more

Definitely enjoyed this first book - other than the cliffhanger ending. A little confused, but not badly. I definitely will continue the series - not just because it is part of RHR's Buddy Read that ended on January 10th, but also because I'm intrigued. I actually like the heat-level. It wasn't the focus of the book, which I appreciate. ...more
