Others: Positive

A drunken demon, a princess who lost her magic, and a deal to save them both… Rei Deimos, half succubus-half satyr, is a magic-sensing, chaos-wielding mess. When her brother decides she needs to get her life together, he kicks her out of their house. With nowhere else to go, Rei finds herself at the tavern of an inn, with nothing but a bottle of red wine to keep her company. It’s there that the grumpy demon runs into a mysterious cloaked figure who she soon discovers is Amora Lianna of Cerys, the runaway princess with one goal in mind: to find her missing magic. With Rei desperately in need of a job and a place to live, and Amora equally as desperate to find her magic, the two of them strike up a deal. Rei will help Amora find her magic and, in turn, secure a job as the princess’s royal advisor. As the two women embark on their magic-seeking quest, they encounter various fae, sip warm beverages, and devour delicious pastries, all while realizing they may need each other more than they initially thought. As love finds Rei and Amora, will it be enough to conquer the secrets that keep them up at night? Or will everything come crumbling down? _________________________________________________ CW: Mention of illness and death, non-graphic on-page murder and death, mild depiction of stress and sadness, adult content, profanity, giant spiders _________________________________________________ Your Guide to the Love X Magic Collection Between Mischief & Magic A drunken demon, a princess who lost her magic, and a deal to save them both...

    A stubborn siren, a stranded selkie, and a deal to save the sea... Sidra Solei is a cynical, deep-sea siren whose heart hardened after the final battle between her pod and the humans. When her sister arrives in the one place Sidra finds solace to inform her their pod’s hunger has become too great, Sidra is determined to act. Dead set on saving her starving pod, Sidra sets off beyond their territory for the first time since childhood. In the vast, open sea, she crosses paths with a pesky seal intent on stealing her catch. But when they're both caught in the same fisherman's net, Sidra discovers the seal is actually a selkie named Breena—mortal enemy of the sirens. Hungry and weary from their journeys, Sidra and Breena reluctantly join forces to avoid detection and stowaway on the fishing boat, headed for land. Just as Breena and Sidra think they are in the clear, Breena's pelt is stolen. Unable to return to the sea without it, the two enemies strike a deal: Sidra will stay on land until Breena finds her pelt, and the two sea fae will fight against the mysterious force depleting their home of its fish. During their time on land, Breena begins to thaw Sidra’s icy heart, reminding her of who she was before the war, but will it be enough to overcome the violent history between sirens and selkies? Or will they return to their homes and forget the love blossoming between them? -------------------------------------------------------- Get ready for this summery sapphic story coming August 22nd, 2024!! ------------------------------------------------------- Your Guide to the Love X Magic Collection Between Mischief & Magic A drunken demon, a princess who lost her magic, and a deal to save them both...

  • The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches

    Sangu Mandanna

    2022 · 41 reviews

    Others: Overwhelmingly positive

    A warm and uplifting novel about an isolated witch whose opportunity to embrace a quirky new family--and a new love--changes the course of her life. As one of the few witches in Britain, Mika Moon knows she has to hide her magic, keep her head down, and stay away from other witches so their powers don't mingle and draw attention. And as an orphan who lost her parents at a young age and was raised by strangers, she's used to being alone and she follows the rules...with one exception: an online account, where she posts videos pretending to be a witch. She thinks no one will take it seriously. But someone does. An unexpected message arrives, begging her to travel to the remote and mysterious Nowhere House to teach three young witches how to control their magic. It breaks all of the rules, but Mika goes anyway, and is immediately tangled up in the lives and secrets of not only her three charges, but also an absent archaeologist, a retired actor, two long-suffering caretakers, and...Jamie. The handsome and prickly librarian of Nowhere House would do anything to protect the children, and as far as he's concerned, a stranger like Mika is a threat. An irritatingly appealing threat. As Mika begins to find her place at Nowhere House, the thought of belonging somewhere begins to feel like a real possibility. But magic isn't the only danger in the world, and when a threat comes knocking at their door, Mika will need to decide whether to risk everything to protect a found family she didn't know she was looking for....

    World Ender meets Ender of Worlds.... A thousand years ago, Dianna gave up her life in the deserts of Eoria to save her dying sister. She called upon anyone who would listen, not expecting a monster far worse than any nightmare to answer. Now she does what Kaden asks, even if that means securing an ancient relic from the very creatures that hunt her. A King thought long dead and long forgotten. In the old world his name was Samkiel. In the new world it is Liam, but one title remains true throughout time. He is the World Ender, a myth to his enemies, a savior and King to those loyal to him. After the Gods War, he locked himself away, hiding from the world. He denied his crown and responsibilities, leaving the very ones who needed him most to deal with the fallout of the death of their homeworld. Now an attack on those he holds dear sends him back to the one realm he never wished to visit again and into the sights of an enemy he thought imprisoned eons ago. Now enemies older than time must put aside their differences and work together in hopes of saving both their world and every realm in between.
