“Her coven is HOT!”
The search for their fifth will bring them more than they bargained for.A part of the ancient magical Order of the Akasha, four male witches await their last remaining piece… only to be stunned when a badass descendant of a voodoo priestess shows up. All five-foot-feisty of her turns their world on edge, making them rethink everything they … descendant of a voodoo priestess shows up. All five-foot-feisty of her turns their world on edge, making them rethink everything they thought they knew about enforcing the one rule in their magical world–harm none.
Despite the supernatural forces binding them together, there’s one slight problem–there’s never been a female Enforcer before. Sexy or not, the guys have sworn their allegiance to a tradition that calls her very presence unnatural. Their pull, though, doesn’t care about ‘never-beens’ or ‘what-ifs’.
The deeper their connection, the more their magic morphs and changes, leaving them desperate for answers and teetering into the very world of evil they promised to protect others from. Before it’s too late, they must uncover the secrets of their past before the magic that brought them together destroys them all.

Norah is a young witch from down South in New Orleans, but the pull of her magic leads her up North to Salem. There she meets four young men that she feels a pull towards – Travis, Liam, Randy, and Gabe. She doesn’t know it yet but they are all witches and her magic is calling her to them to complete a connection that is meant to be. What none of them expect is the evil that will begin to surface that none of them felt coming despite what they are supposed to be. The connection that Norah and her new friends feel is strong and more than their magic will be touched.
Summoned by Magic by E.M. Moore is book one in her Order of the Akasha series. In this book, we are introduced to Norah who is trying to figure out where the pull she is feeling is leading and what it has to do with these four friends she encounters. Norah is not a wilting flower character. She is adept with her magic and uses it when necessary. I like how when she begins to explore her magic with the guys that her magic asserts itself. The story is told mainly from the first person of Norah. The story does transition between each of the men as well when the author wants to give us another point of view concerning the story. I like the varieties between the various characters as they interact with each other. I feel that it adds a good balance of dynamics to the story. Each man reacts differently to Norah. The indecision between them as they debate what exactly she is, to me, is both amusing and interesting.
There honestly isn’t much of anything that I don’t like about this story. The overall pace of the story is good, though there are some bits and pieces that I feel could have been cut out as it drags down the pace of the story a bit. Otherwise, I found the story to be quite enjoyable.
As this is a reverse harem romance novel, I like that not all of the men are quick to engage themselves with Norah. While he’s a bit of a prick, I appreciate that one has his reservations concerning her and keeps the reader intrigued as to what will eventually happen between the two of them. The sex scenes are steamy and such fun to read, so prepare yourself. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.
I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. Overall, the story is well balanced, engaging and I appreciate the air of suspense, romance, and danger. I look forward to reading the next book in this series and seeing the dangers that Norah and her men will face.

What an amazing start to this new series. Nora was raised by a Voodoo Priestess and she has some mad skills when it comes to magic. She starts feeling a pull in a certain direction so she follows it only to end up at the doorstep of four really hot guys. They are waiting for the fifth to appear to complete their coven but their has never been a female member before so they decide to keep it a secret until they can confirm. That sure doesn’t stop stuff from happening though keeping them jumping to stay safe. Great world building, wonderful characters, and a story to keep you hooked. I look forward to seeing where this series is going in the future. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
This is a wonderful story about four male witches and a voodoo priestess. I love reading about magic and this story was awesome to read and I highly recommend this story to anyone who loves stories abut magic.

Norah is a young natural born witch who feels a pull From NOLA to Salem. She is ultimately led by her instincts to an apartment of 4 handsome men. Little by little she is informed of happenings around Salem. There are a few twists and turns but otherwise a great start. This is not a slow burn. Loved the difference in characters. The men are steamy and not at all super alphas. Steam 9/10 Sweetness 9/10 Alternating POV cliffhanger
This was my first (and probably last reverse harem series) because the concept is just not appealing to me. This has nothing to do with E.M. Moore’s writing, which was fantastic. I knew what type of book this was prior to receiving a copy, so I’m not docking the author for that!!
This story hooked me in and I did not want to put it down. The characters are intriguing and work well together. There is the right mix of nerdy, “jock”, bad boy and jerk, all with a side of sweet. Add Norah’s strong sass (though not overkill), and the guys didn’t know what hit them. ( I appreciated that the author did not describe Norah’s skin with food! I get the whole caramel and mocha thing, but it was nice just to know she had a “permanent” tan). I liked the confusion of the draw that they all felt. I also liked the “push-pull” of emotions that they all seemed at war within themselves. I enjoyed the plot and while there was closure for some things, the book left me wanting to know what happens next. I appreciate that there was no “glaring” cliffhanger, but the reader knows the series is just beginning. As mentioned before, RH or any harem for that matter, is not appealing to me BUT Moore’s writing had me so locked into the text that I didn’t even skim over those intensely HOT parts. I finished this story in one sitting (though in the wee hours of the morning), glad that I didn’t have work in the morning! There were a few minor editing issues that spellcheck would not catch. This did not affect the flow of the book.
While this is not a book I would recommend to those under 18, adults who enjoy sexy stories where one female has multiple partners, repeatedly, may enjoy Summoned by Magic! 4.5 stars
