Publisher's summary

From her first step onto Canderfey University's campus, Joanna Wick, the new librarian-in-training, is overwhelmed by the bustle of people and the wealth of magical information now available to her. Most overwhelming of all, she attracts the attention of three handsome professors. But Aiden King, Callum Pike, and Isaac Metclaffe are a coven waiting to find their fourth and complete their home, and Joanna knows she can't be that witch. She's barely magical.

Aiden has been waiting 20 years to complete his coven. Callum doesn't want to disappoint his covenmates by turning down another potential fourth. Isaac has found a home with them both and only wants the best for his lovers. Have they found what they've all been waiting for in the skittish new hire at the university library?

Contains mature themes.

good story seemed a bit rushed

Overall a good story with an interesting concept and world building. The FMC has some self esteem issues but is still confident in her own way. It helps keep it more realistic considering her background and the fast pace of change that happens around her. I would have liked a bit more relationship building and character development, the story seemed a bit rushed but it did hint that there was some magical tie pushing the Coven together so perhaps that can account for the "instalove" vibe. I did enjoy the different personalities but hope the angst shifts in a different direction as the series goes on away from the self esteem issues so it shows growth and doesn't get repetitive, we shall see! Narration was fantastic.

Such a lovely story!

It was an amazing story. But what I loved most was the female narrator! She made me picture Keira Knightly. The male narrator put a little too much drama in the sex scenes for my tastes. Overall, I loved it!

A lovely story

This book checks all my interests. I am happy I found it. It is an easy listen with wonderful narrators. Both were new to me but I loved their narration.
I wasn't too fond of Joanna at first due to her timidness but this was explained as the story got established. I am not exactly sure which of the three men was my favorite. I think all three! Their relationship before Joanna was beautifully portrayed. Their dedication to each other unquestionable and when Joanna came to their "world", their happiness was undeniable.
The author's world-building and explanations were so colorful and realistic that I felt a part of the story. It was joyful to listen to the unusual yet sensual way books, words, music, and art was weaved into the story.
I see there are 3 more and I intend to get them all.
I would disagree with reviews that paint Joanna unfairly. She comes from a small village. She had never traveled anywhere. She's been with her immediate family before she came to be a librarian. Moon does a great job exploring and at times exploiting Joanna's insecurities in this novel. To me, this made it more relatable.
Definitely worth a credit.

creative and lovely

this book was wonderful. a very sweet poly romance with great world building and edge of your seat magical drama. all the character were also so interesting and didn't have the usual red flags of pathetic main character and toxic love interests.

PHENOMENAL! !!!

The story was riveting! The narrators were exceptional! This is a must read!! Highly recommend this book.

A happy little read!

I one-shotted this audiobook while on a long trip. Managed to cover ~500 miles and barely remember a minute of the actual drive. Narrators did a great job. Everything moved at a nice pace. Was interesting enough to keep me immersed in the story. The characters were well-developed with their own unique personalities. The relationships between the love interests went deeper than just “ooh pretty! Must bang!” The steamy scenes were mildly spicy without being overly cringey. There was a clear and concise plot line. It was an easy, comfortable read and I look forward to the next book.

Beautifully written, wonderful characters

I loved this story and I can't wait to dive into the next book. The author may be writing RH paranormal fiction but she writes like it's classic literature (best way I can explain it). I love the romance between the main characters and can't wait to learn more about them and more about this world of witchcraft as the story progresses. I liked how this book wraps up a story without a chiffhanger going into book 2 and provides just enough information and world building in book 1 without dragging the story down like some fantasy books can. It managed to keep this book really fast paced which should satisfy fans of the RH genre especially with such a good balance of explicit spice and beautifully woven story.

Really liked these characters!

Alrighty, so I have no clue why I waited so long to listen/read this series by Kathryn Moon! I loved the men in this coven and LOOOOOVED they were already intimate and in love with each other. My biggest guilty reading pleasure is M/M so it was awesome to have that element in this RH story.

Joanna grew on me in this book. I kinda had moments I wanted to knock some sense into her, but by the end of the book she was amazing. Characters have to grow in these books anyway, so Kathryn did a good job showing that just in book 1. I thought the concept was cool and defeating the hollow was interesting. Love the idea of writing magic and Joanna not knowing about her heritage and powers this whole time. Loved the other coven and can't wait to see more of Bryce and all of them. Maybe they can get their own novella, I am super intrigued by them, not gonna lie. I loved the differences in Joanna's men and how they figure out and handle that she is their 4th coven mate. BTW the scene with Isaac and Callum was 🔥🔥🔥🔥. I mean all the sex scenes in this series is amazing haha.

I have heard one of the narrators before and was not disappointed! The other narrator is new to me and did a great job. I usually am not a super fan of narrators doing British accents but this was fantastic. They captured their personalities perfectly. Really read the story how I imagined it in my head, even adding some great inflections and accents I wasn't expecting. Superb job, will definitely will listening to the rest of the series and other books by these narrators.

Engrossing!

It seems like a bad pun to say this book was so well written, but it's true. The story line is smooth and drops tiny hints of things to come. Overall a refreshing story. The intimate scenes are bodily believable and enthusiastically narrated. There are M/M relationships that are wholeheartedly beautiful and independent of the main female. Can't wait for the second book to come to Audible; it is better than the first which is a tremendous feat. I highly recommend this book!!

Awesome

My first read from this author and I could not put it down. Now to book2
