A supernatural prison, a feisty fairy sidekick, and four alpha males. What could possibly go wrong?Being sent to prison just after my eighteenth birthday wasn’t exactly what I had in mind after getting my first taste of freedom. Neither was ending up in cell block B with all male prisoners. There had to be some sort of mixup, right? Wrong.After a too-close-for-comfort attack, I’m taken in by the … too-close-for-comfort attack, I’m taken in by the Fabled Four–a group of guys who aren’t known for playing by the rules and are prisoners here just like me. The only difference is they know what the warden wants from them and I have no idea.
Much to their leader’s dismay, it’s time to figure out the real reason I’m stuck in Mandora Supernatural Prison. Though, if I can’t get my magic in check sooner rather than later, I just might get myself, or others I care about, killed.
Let the games begin.
Please note, this is not a Reverse Harem book and recommended for ages 16+ due to some bully themes and language

This is an easy-to-read paranormal MF romance for older teenagers and up. The storyline moves quickly and there are lots of interesting supernatural characters. We meet Cara, who can be annoying at times. Her excuses get repetitive for her juvenile actions and she swears a lot. She gets thrown in a supernatural prison under bogus charges and ends up in the men’s wing. That’s when the mysterious Fabled Four realize that she’s needing their protection. I like that we get to know each of the guys slowly and what their powers are. Even Cara learns more about her abilities as the story goes along. I also like that they aren’t stuck in prison the entire time. They are sent on missions and Cara tags along, since she’s not safe at the prison alone. What does the warden want with Cara? Will Hawk be able to get past his personal problems and open his heart to her? This is a complete trilogy and I’m looking forward to reading Book 2.
Brilliant new series!
This paranormal series made me chuckle, cheer, and wonder WTF a few times. All in all it kicks some serious fairy butt!!!! In a world of different paranormal beings Cara knows she ISN’T at the top of the heap. At most she’s a semi powerful witch that can’t always count on her powers even working. She’s also a loner since her parents passed away, and without many friends. Nothing usually goes her way, but SMALL things have recently been going her way like getting free coffee and a door opened for her. Hey, I did say small things . Until of course she was accosted while out and about, informed she’d broken Witch Law and unceremoniously portalled to Supernatural Prison. Thrown in with all men and no answers, Cara has no clue what’s going on. After all… As wonky as her powers were she KNOWS she hasn’t broken Witch Law. What the fairy wings is going on?!? Luckily her cell mate seems nice and is trying to look out for her. Of course, proving just how uncharmed her life is the four giant oafs that dragged her here have taken notice and let it be known. The Fabled Four keep annoyingly calling her Siren and act like she’s their cat toy to play with. She STILL hasn’t spoken with the warden to learn what exact rule(s) she’d supposedly broken. What she DOES know is something it’s VERY, VERY WRONG and she’d darned well figure it out. Unless of course her mouth and stubbornness get in the way LOL. Look forward to a book filled with interesting characters, layers of intrigue, all surrounding one fierce, oft potty mouthed, stubborn female. Something is definitely rotten within the walls of this prison, but is everything and everyone as they seem? I fully enjoyed every bit of this read and can’t wait for the follow up!!! I ADORE this author and everything she releases.
Great start of a new series. “Initiation” is full of sass, supernatural creatures all together in one Prison. Cara is thrown into a Supernatural prison and unfortunately, she is put in the male side of the prison. She can’t help but draw attention to herself especially “The Four”. The four is a group of men who don’t play by the rules and all fear them. Mix Cara, the Four, and a fairy and you have one heck of an entertaining story. Author, Heather Renee has brought to life a unique prison style story and I can’t wait to what comes next.
I loved this book! I love the Fabled 4 and Nixie was my favorite fairy ever! I can not wait to see where they go next. I am excited to see what Nixie comes up with next!”
I could not put this book down. I absolutely adore Cara and the Fabled Four. Without giving anything away I love how Cara takes no nonsense from these alpha men and is full of fire. It was a very thrilling read and I can’t wait for the next one. Also, I know heather is our queen of cliffhangers but this one is a major drop off.
Gah! I literally could never get enough of this book! Seriously…I kid you not it is fan-flippin-tastic! The easiest thing I could say to you guys would be just read the damn book! Like by whatever means necessary…work that book into your schedule.
Seriously guys, this book was so incredible in the way it demands your attention. It tells you what to do, it demands to be read and demands that you do not put it down until it is well and truly devoured. When it comes to this book, sleep is for the weak. So have that caffeine ready for the next day coz you’re probably going to need it
I’m certain Heather’s mission in life is to own her readers hearts and soul… and it never ceases to amaze me how incredibly talented she is. I’m certain that with each new book of hers I read, the stakes get higher and the stories just keep getting better.
Wow okay, I haven’t even got into the description of the book yet and I’ve already rambled a fair amount…but guys I can’t help it…everything a book needs, this one has got it…A chic that takes no nonsense, is sassy as all get out and is bound to make you laugh, is only just the beginning. Feisty little fairy friend…check …four sexy, overbearing and possibly jerky males (not RH)…check ….Enemies to lovers ….YES check …Paranormal Prison…check …one prison warden you may want dead…check …and a killer story plot and great story development…triple check
The characters are everything and you will LOVE them! You can’t help it. I automatically was in love with Cara, her fighting spirit had me from page one. But it wasn’t just that, everything about her I loved, her sassiness and the way she didn’t let her bad situation knock her down…nope she just continued being her awesome self. And then when she finds and helps Nixie, a fairy, things only get better…those two together are seriously just meant to be. They are like soul sisters or something.
Then add in the Fabled Four and you are bound to just love the tension as things slowly begin to unravel. But it isn’t all smooth sailing coz it takes those four men a teensy bit of time to learn that bossing and pushing Cara around won’t get them all that far…coz she will fight back at every turn.
Now that I probably have you all thoroughly confused, let me give just a wee bit of background. It starts off with Cara, a witch who hasn’t had an easy run and small things start happening that make her feel like her luck has changed over…but it definitely has not.
Anyways, this fairy turns up along with some mysterious men, telling her she’s broken Witch Law and is being taken off to Mandora Supernatural prison. See she got bad luck. But the problem is she doesn’t believe she’s done anything against the law and that it’s all just a mistake…but to make matters worse the Warden will barely talk to her because he’s “busy” and won’t be around for a couple of days…and to make matters worse she’s placed in with the men. Which is decidedly not good. The poor chic can’t catch a break.
Now its time for a survival 101 crash course.
From here this is where she starts learning some new things about herself and her power that were always classed as weak….she is definitely anything but that. The longer she stays in the prison the more her powers start to emerge and she just became a whole lot more important in the games being played by different parties.
This is a random piece of information but one thing I really looked forward to while reading were these funny little prison rules she’d make up as she went…and they would entertain me to no end.
Anyway, she’s lucky enough to be roomed with a decent guy named Anthony who takes her under his wing and tries to teach her some survival rules but well one thing you should know about Cara, she doesn’t do so well with rules. So although she automatically agrees with Anthony and following the three rules he gave her…that all goes up in smoke when she actually meets the Fabled Four…the ones that had been at the prison the longest – part of their punishment was working for the warden as trackers…and they tend to mess with the other prisoners…but well her fiery ways didn’t take too well to their methods and well she got under their skin.
The Fabled Four decide to help her, although their method of ‘help’ initially is a bit weird lol and its hard for Cara to accept their version, and she may just fight them pretty much at any turn she can…but in time bonds start to grow between them and even though friends aren’t a good thing to have in a place like this, that’s what happens. And maybe something a little bit more with a certain strong-willed moody member of that group
And because men are a tad special and a little slow, it takes them a little while to realise that maybe the way they went about it wasn’t the best of ways…but hey they get there eventually lol.
It doesn’t take them long to work out there are a lot more things going on behind the scenes, at the prison, but they are determined to work it out and hopefully, before anymore people are killed. We want them to escape the prison, not leave in a bodybag…that would be tragic!
All I can say folks is this is a book you do not want to miss. For me, this book had so much to offer and it really took over my world. A book that can do that, is a book that should be read. Heather has really outdone herself and is setting the book bar high.
If you love strong lead characters with sassiness running to their core, you will love this book. Not only that It has an awesome enemies to lovers buildup that I really enjoyed…seeing and being apart of all that angst was pretty dang cool..
In a world where literally anything can happen be sure to take a chance on this book and enjoy the adventure of a lifetime. It’s sure to be one hell of a read/ride.
Happy Readings
Heather Renee has out done herself with this brand new series. I started reading this book, and I just couldn’t put it down. I think could become my favorite series of hers. The chemistry between Cara and Hawk is out of this world. The mystery surrounding the rest of the Fabled Four is so intense and intriguing that you can’t help but be sucked in. Not to mention the mystery with Cara herself and why she ended up in prison, let alone why she was thrown into the men’s side. And then we have the mysterious Owen, and all the rest of the Fabled Four….I just don’t know which one is going to be my newest book boyfriend yet.
Seriously, you need to read this book
Great start to a series, call me interested. I love the fabled four yum. Good world building I liked getting to know the characters and there relationship together, if course I’m a sucker for an Alpha male so I adore Jaxson!! Can’t wait to see what’s next for this ragtag group of Sups?
Amazing action-packed start!!!
