What is it about?

(Blurb from GoodReads)

I always knew I was different. I’d thought it had to be hidden – to stay a secret. I didn’t know my secret would become the key to my survival.

Turning eighteen and getting accepted into college brings me everything I need to escape from the nightmares of my past but I never could have imagined my nightmares – and dreams – were just beginning. Finding myself thrown into a world of fantasy, politics, friendships, and rules that are nearly impossible to understand, I feel like I’m drowning in a world of shifters I never knew existed.

As I struggle to find my place and prevent my nightmares from tearing me apart, I find myself surrounded by an unusual group of sexy men. With Hiro, Killian, Theo, Damien, and Ryder I’m trying to become the woman I’ve always wanted to be, if my past, and my future, will let me.

My Thoughts on Born of Embers

This is my second reread…. and somehow I have not reviewed this gem before?! I am honestly shocked. I think I read it the first time in 2018, and now, in the crazy year of 2020, I find myself falling into the lives and adventures of this amazing group once more.

Nix, full name Annika, is a beautiful, though damaged girl running from a past few would believe. Landing in Alaska after being accepted into College, she quickly finds herself wrapped up the world she has always been a part of – even if she didn’t know it.

Deeply emotional and sometimes scarring, this Reverse Harem introduces mythological shifters and a magical world hidden from human eyes. It’s a slow burn, both emotionally and physically, offering the characters a chance to grow and learn about each other. Tinged with danger and a mystery that harkens from years before, this is a good start to a captivating series.

My Final Verdict on Born of Embers

Second read through, yet somehow my first review…. great series, fantastic start and emotionally enveloping. There is heat, though tempered in this first book, along with action and mystery. I would recommend. Free on Kindle Unlimited.
