Coveted (The Gaia Chronicles #2) by Grace White

Coveted is Book 2 in the Gaia Chronicles by Grace White

Summary:
Terra Materson knew moving to Atchison College would take some getting used to. But she didn’t expect to discover she had the spirit of an ancient goddess inside her. 

It’s a lot to process. Not to mention the four overprotective guys who have made it their mission to take Terra under their wing. But as her connection to Ross, Cael, Endo, and Sol intensifies, so too does her need for the truth.

Her protectors want to keep her safe. The witches need her power. And her new friends just want her to live a little. But as her hidden memories slowly return, Terra is left questioning who she can trust. Because with magic in the air, anyone could be an enemy and nothing may be as it seems...


** This is a Reverse Harem Story. **


Review
Coveted is the excellent edition to a very promising series! I love this series so far, and while it is clear that witchcraft is not something that Ms. Grace knows much about, she is able to write a pretty good book skimming the edges of the lifestyle.

Relationship Aspect
Ross is still my favorite! I believe that the relationship is progressing at a good rate, even though I want to drop kick Sol sometimes.

I would rate this an Infatuation – You would read this story every chance you could.
Rated:4/5 Stars

Five Immortal Hearts: Harem of Flames by Savannah Rose

Five Immortal Heart is book one in the Harem of Flames Series by Savannah Rose

Summary:
Five immortal princes, each powerful beyond measures, but only one will have the rights to rule the world. A right to be bestowed upon them by a mere mortal. 

Misty didn’t see them coming; they entered her world without foreword or warning, shattering her glass cage of boundaries, forcing her to open her mind to parts of a world that should not exist. 

Five sets of blue eyes watched her closely. 
“We need you to make a choice, between the five of us, for the coming age,” they said, and they were serious. This was serious. Failure to choose would lead to Armageddon, a scorched earth piled high with the bones of elders and infants. 

All that power in the hands of a mortal. All that power in HER hands. She wasn’t sure she was ready, but then again, this is the kind of thing no one could ever truly be ready for. 


** This is a Reverse Harem Story. **

Review

Okay, so first, I have read many stories where I just did not like the MC for one reason or another, but Misty I liked straight away. I think it was more to the point that she did not spend her time bemoaning her lot in life. She was more of an "Oh, this impossible thing happened? Ok, so it may not be so impossible after all, moving on." She acknowledges that it was incredible, but does not allow it to slow her down. I really enjoyed this tale. Well done Ms. Rose!

Relationship Aspect
While we all know how important it is to build a strong foundation in a relationship, this tale had more at stake than who she will love. Misty spent time getting to know all five of the brothers and found that there are things she liked about them all, but the bottom line was not find who was best for her, but for the world as a whole. Given the situation was what it was she really couldn't have chosen any differently, and the fact that she personally liked them all was only a boon.

I give this a rating of Infatuation – You would read this story every chance you could.
Rated: 4/5 Stars

A Dance With Darkness (Otherworld Academy #1) by Jenna Wolfhart


A Dance with Darkness is Book 1 in the Otherworld Academy series by Jenna Wolfhart.

Summary:
I’ve always felt like an outsider. Until my eighteenth birthday, I didn’t know how true that was. First, I started seeing strange things. Then, the tips of my ears began to shift. Now, even touching something made of iron makes me sick.

Am I losing my mind?

When four mysterious fae males corner me in the street, they bring terrifying news: I’m not human. I’m a changeling, a fae swapped at birth.

Under their powerful yet infuriating guidance, I return to Otherworld to train at their academy and determine to which of the four faerie courts I belong. But there’s something much more dangerous than the four fae vying for my attention.

And if I don’t unravel the fae’s secrets, none of the changelings will survive. Including me.


** This is a Reverse Harem Story. **
Review:
A Dance with Darkness takes its readers on a wild ride! Stock full of Fae, magic, and love like no other. I love this kind of story, the kind that starts us off with your seemingly normal human girl until something happens or someone comes along and shakes things up. I definitely enjoyed this story!

Relationship Aspect:
As I am sure you know, as I have stated it enough in past reviews, that the foundation of a relationship is probably the most important part. I feel that the relationship between Norah and her fae males are progressing at a perfect pace. This book does have insta-connection vibe to it, but it does not overtake the mind of the characters and make them push the relationship along to fast. I feel like we got to know them pretty well by the end of the book. I am not sure I could even choose a favorite, Maybe Kael - he was someone Finn, I even liked Roarke with his quiet intensity and honor, he was a huge surprise as well.

I rate this an Obsession - Once you start you can’t stop. I recommend setting an alarm to let you know when to put it down
Rated: 5/5 Stars
