Blood Tether

Cursed Descent (MistHallow Academy), Book 1

By: Eve Newton

Narrated by: Sophie Hunter Scott, Jamie Treselyan

MistHallow Academy will be my sanctuary, a place to hide from my family's sinister plans for my wild magick.

That was the plan, anyway. Instead, I've stumbled into a web of dark desires and deadly secrets.

They're everywhere—in my classes, my dreams, my blood. Three men, each more dangerous than the last, circling me like predators stalking prey.

Vex: the dark warlock TA, whose blue eyes promise pleasure with an emphasis on pain. His rune-marked skin screams danger, and I can't look away.

Luc: the half incubus, half pure blood demon royalty whose taste for blood is for pleasure rather than survival. He craves the chaos of my untamed power but his hatred for his half-brother, Draven, is unmatched.

Draven: the necromancer whose touch brings shivers of fear and excitement. Behind those too-blue eyes lurk ambitions that could shatter the boundary between life and death.

I should run, but their pull is irresistible. With every lesson in dark magick, every forbidden touch, I'm drawn deeper into their world. My power responds to them, growing stronger, more unpredictable, and is the key to unraveling ancient curses and unleashing forces beyond our control.

At MistHallow, lessons aren't just dangerous—they're deadly. I'm about to get a crash course in survival.

If you like fast burn, insta-lust, insta-possessiveness from the MMCs, an FMC with a backbone, witty banter, and guys that put aside their differences for the woman they want, then this is a must-listen.

This dark paranormal romance is book one in a reverse harem romance series set in English and written by USA Today bestselling author Eve Newton. For mature listeners.

Loveddddd ittttt

I will be continuing this series! It was amazing!!! Period! I’m not sure wtf. It’s amazing! That’s it that’s all this is the review! ❤️

Good Story

MMCs were great. MFC was annoying and childish but I think thats cause the female narrator was whiny. I liked the storyline just wish I would've read it instead of listening to it.

Unexpected Brilliance

I started this book expecting the usual tropes with a very self conscious FMC. That was not it in the least. From the first chapter I was hooked. I would have loved to listen to the second book but could only get it on Kindle. I am thoroughly looking forward to digging into the rest of the story.

Talk about HOT!

I loved this book!!! It kept me guessing and it's full of intrigue. Not to mention, it contains one of the HOTTEST scenes that I've ever read in any book ever! ! All of them were good, but her first encounter with Vex had me pacing the floor until my husband came home. 😊

It was Good

The book was good—RH and fast-paced, which I loved. The obsessed MMCs were great, and I enjoyed how protective they were of her. I wasn’t fond of the FMC’s name, but that’s just personal preference. Sometimes she came across as a little annoying, but I usually prefer my FMCs to be more badass. I’m hoping in book two we’ll see more of her power since she’s supposed to be all kinds of powerful.
Side note:
I will say the scene in the beginning after what happened to her at her home then meeting Draven and them doing what they did felt a bit much considering what had just happened to her, but overall, I really enjoyed the pace and the twists and turns the story took. I’m looking forward to book two.
