by Kathryn Moon
From Book 1: 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.
When danger crawls onto the campus from the edges of the Hand Woods, and irrepressible feelings crawl into her heart, Joanna Wick must explore her own identity and abilities.
Aiden has been waiting twenty 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?
Review of Four books
Kathryn Moon draws me in when I read her books. Written is the first book and Moon drew me into her story in under a page. I fell in love with Joanna and her library (I’m secretly jealous I can’t visit that library). Aiden, Callum and Isaac are lovely men who love each other and when they discover Joanna, they carefully interact with her so they don’t scare her off. The sex scenes are deliciously varied and different. The dialog is well thought out. The story is complex and not formulaic at all.
I’m an editor so reading books is hard for me because I want to edit them. I find errors in every single book I read. The thing is – if the author has written an engaging enough story, I notice those errors less. There were errors in these books. Having said that, I went through these book in days. I finished one and started the next. I LOVED the characters and the story.
This four book series started strong – grabbed me and didn’t let go. But towards the end some of the options became a little obvious – but only a little. Below is how I’d rate the four books.
Written – 5 stars
Warriors – 5 stars
Scrivens – 4.5 stars
Ancients – 4 stars
These are all good reads. When I finished reading the series, I was so invested in the characters I wanted more from them. I had more time to read (which doesn’t happen often) and I tried to read other books and it was a no go for me. Joanna and her men were too much in my head still.
If you plan to read these books, I suggest you clear your calendar and just read through. Get someone to bring you food and drink. After you’re done, you might need a day or two (or a week) to recover. I honestly wanted to go back and read them all again.
