Three strikes and you’re out? If only. In my world, it’s more of a one and done situation, even if you get that one strike trying to do something good.I’ve been on the run for years, never staying anywhere too long, never getting attached to anything or anyone because he will always find me. Bane. He’s the best bounty hunter in existence, and I’m the one that got away, well, keeps getting away. … keeps getting away. If he wasn’t so sexy I would hate him for it.
When the cat and mouse game turns more serious, I’m the one that ends up screwed, and not in the fun way.
I won’t survive in prison-not because I’m too delicate-but because my magic has always been tightly under control. Prison, though? When I’m surrounded by sexy shifters and drool-worthy vampires? That’s where it will all get unleashed.

Potions and Punishments (Prisoners of Nightstone Book 1) by Helen Scott , May Dawson when I read this my mind start screaming Oh My Gosh and 5 starts is not enough for this story it should be like 20. This is book number one in this Oh My Gosh series that I have loved reading and can not wait to read the rest of this series. I highly recommend this Oh My Gosh story to everyone who loves reading prison series.
I read a complimentary Advanced Reader Copy of this book & am voluntarily leaving an honest and unbiased review.
This is a very dark, violent book, full of pain and suffering, snark, and put-downs from and to most of the characters. Only the sex is intensely pleasurable. Watch the changes in the point of view.
Nasima is being hunted by Bane for using magic in public. She is captured and sent to Nightstone Prison for supernatural convicts. Her nightmare starts immediately. Bane asks Jake, his business partner, to start investigating Jonathan Went, a rich tech mogul. Ambrose, a shifter, takes an interest in the “new meat”, and Nasima is fascinated by him. Sure enough, Went is a villain. Nasima meets Christian, a vampire, and is attracted to him.
I picked up this book because it sounded like it was like the Winx show on Netflix and it did NOT disappoint. Nas is strong and refuses to give herself up without a fight, even if she has weird chemistry with her bounty hunter. (I still have no idea whether I love or hate him.) I also had no clue it was RH harem until Nas was thrown into jail and we meet two more of her guys (who I am obsessed with). I screamed when I got to the end because I couldn’t believe there wasn’t more! I cannot wait to start book two.
I was given an ARC, so I am writing my honest voluntary review.
Original, fun, witty, paranormal prison trope…and completely un-put-downable… there are soooo many thing that just kept the pages turning chapter after chapter… really looking forward to the next book in the series… well done!
I freaking loved this book! I could not put it down. It will suck you in from the very beginning wanting to know what is going on and what will happen. And the characters are just wow. Nas is a very tough FMC who you cant help but love her fierceness and good heart. And the men are sooo hot. Christian, Ambrose and even Bane are tough but then into big softies when it comes to Nas. Even though you want to smack Bane around I feel he can be redeemed lol. I can not wait to continue this series. A definite must read. You will not be disappointed!
Can’t not say enough about this book. You start of with Nas trying to stay free from a bounty hunter named Bane. Well they have a steamy complicated relationship. Nas ends up in prison and has caught the eye of 2 alphas q bamp and a shifter. There are other sups out to get rid of her but her alphas take good care of her and start to get along. I can not wait to read book 2
What does A sassy witch/seer, A scorching bounty hunter, a protective shifter, and a sweet yet dangerous vampire equal to? An amazing RH.
“D*ck got me in here, D*ck was going to get me killed”. That was the best line (ever) or at least to summarize this story.
OMG that ending. Bit of a cliffhanger but overall, this was such a fun read. I finished this story in a little over 6 hours. I truly enjoyed the cat-and-mouse game between Bane, the bounty hunter and Nasima. That was . I was kind of hoping for a little more, but then, meeting Ambrose and Christian, both Alphas…who fell for Nasima’s charms. Thank goodness for #WhyChoose, because I couldn’t do it. Ahhh, can’t wait for the sequel!

*originally reviewed on Goodreads on 7/11/20*
Nasima has spent plenty of time on the run from the black guard (paranormal police) and one hot bounty hunter Bane. All because of power one her mother suppressed long ago all she wanted to do was expose and awful man’s secrets. But her time has finally run out Bane wont play there little game anymore hes got something more important to protect then her. And no matter how much she begs Bane won’t budge even when he knows what will happen to her in prison.
Nas can only hope she can get what she needs in lock up because if others find out about her power its game over and with several people already trying to kill her and one crazy granny her cup runs over with fun and death good times for Nas. The only positive is the two unlikelest of ally who want her for more then her mind Alpha wolf Ambrose his wolf can’t get enough and The Alpha King vampire Christian thats a whole lot of teeth looking to take a bite out of her but her party wouldn’t be complete without a blast from her past.
I was allowed to read and advance copy of this book via Booksprout and this is my honest review.

Our heroine has a special gift that she keeps tightly under control for a variety of reasons. But when she is thrown into a prison for supernaturals, there is no way she will be able to keep it under control, which will lead to some very interesting times.
This is a paranormal romance of the reverse harem variety set in a supernatural prison (mostly). I am rather worn out on reverse harem stories, but this one sounded intriguing enough to give it a go and I am glad that I did. The story is well written, easy to read and packed excellent characters and a well detailed setting. While the setting is intriguing and I do want to know more, the characters are what really set the story apart for me. I love our heroine and the bounty hunter is quite fun as well. Our two other heroes are not my favorites, but they are steadily growing on me. Overall, the story is fast paced and full of mystery, intrigue and some steam making for a very enjoyable story. I look forward to the next book in the series.
Highly recommended

Two Authors I love, working together on an amazing new rh series I cannot wait to continue! A while new spin on Supe Prison romance and the fight for survival.
One badass woman, being chased by a sexy bounty hunter, and they end up in prison together, where she meets her mates. Searching for her brother, will they ever escape? I look forward to the next installment to see where this all goes!
I really liked this story and start of a new series. I loved the characters especially Nas. It was hot and steamy but not nasty and had a good plot with a few mysteries hinted at that really makes me need to read the next story, especially with how it ended. It had danger too as Nas ends up in prison. It made me laugh a few ties too especially with Nas and Bane’s interactions. I cannot wait to see what will be revealed next and how Nas will grow and start to own her powers instead of hide from them. And those mysteries….. Just a good story that I read in one sitting as I could not put it down due to the writing and the storyline.
I have read MANY Helen Scott books & she again, does not disappoint! A Bad a$$ witch is being chased by a hot as lava bounty hunter. I love the cat and mouse game between Bane and Nasima but good things, eventually, come to an end. This end as Nasima lands in prison! Not good for Nasima but this is prison themed reverse harem romance so one assumes it will get better? There is plenty of all the things you want in a book, magic, thrills & chills, suspense, drama, danger & sexy fun times! There are even some surprises, twists and turns! A fantastic collaboration that I cannot wait to read more from!

Man alive, this book was great. It brought out all the feels, made me laugh to snorting and was loaded with action of several verities. I loved the characters and the plot kept me guessing. Is is really great and imaginative RH read. I loved it and look forward to the next book.
Nasima had long fled the Black Guard, a witch wanted for use of magic in a world that locked away repeat users for good
A bounty hunter, Bane ironically used his earnings to help lower level offenders escape. Bringing in Nasima would help a lot of others.
But they had a connection. Sexual if not romantic. She shared info about a wealthy msn in an effort to keep from getting turned in.
Acting on her intel would bring Bane troubles of his own. The fight to survive for the resistance might bring down Nasima and all those she cares about- along with the resistance movement.
Their battle is only beginning to gain momentum
Can’t wait to read the next book to learn what happens next!

Chicanery runs rampant and betrayal is rife, noting the drama, turmoil, intrigue, underlying threats, secrets, spiraling suspense and unnerving situations, along with a boatload of danger while dodging disaster, you have one mind-blowing masterpiece. Blurred lines and crossed boundaries, limitations are exploited and amplified, shifting this baby into overdrive, blowing it into a tailspin with astonishing impacts, putting our characters through their paces testing them in ways they could have never imagined. The raw magnetism, attraction and chemistry collides with such intensity, displaying the explosive emotions, drawing our characters closer until you feel the electrifying hum running rampant through your veins. The characters are complex and genuine with traits and qualities that add depth and diversity, transforming into charismatic personalities. The scenes are abundantly descriptive with colorful details that blend and flow, creating a majestic backdrop that’s so rich and lively it feels like you can just reach out and touch it. Remarkable job guys, thanks for sharing this little jewel with us.
I enjoy these two authors separate, but together they sure do know how to tell a good story. This was just what I was looking for in a good paranormal romance.
So the basis of the story is the female lead, Nasima a witch is on the run. Who is being chased by a bounty hunter named Bane. Their chemistry is hot which usually leads them to giving in to their desire. With Nasima on the run again and Bane chasing her. But when her luck runs out and Bane finally turns her in. But things are learned that maybe she was innocent. However wheels are already turning and Nasima lands in prison. There she meets two of her mates. Nightstone prison holds lots of secrets just like the inmates that reside in it.
So much happens here, and I honestly could not put Potions and Punishments down until the very end. What an ending it was too!! I cannot wait to read more!!
The story line was good, the character work was terrific and the book had a smooth flow to it. This was a great series starter and I was hooked from beginning to end.
