A mysterious pocket watch, six mage shifters, and one deceased lover… My name is Crimson Arashi and I’m your typical 22-year-old, finishing my Bachelors of Arts degree. Sadly, my father insists I become a doctor, having supported my attempt as an artist for far too long.In this world full of magic and shifters, it sucks that I am the only child to a powerful Warlock – my father – and a Kitsune … my father – and a Kitsune shifter – my mother. I’d already disappointed them because I am a human child – neither shifter or mage. I’d be lucky to light a candle with the snap of my fingers.
After one night of drinking, drowning my sorrows of being a disgrace to my family, I crash into a man on the run with six men in pursuit to catch this thief. None of them notice the pocket watch that escapes their grasp, lying on the cold, wet ground. I didn’t think opening it would grant me all the power and strength of the previous owner.
I also didn’t think it would belong to Storm Yuna, the strongest female magician known in our world. Too bad she was murdered, and now, I’d inherited not only her powers but feelings too. Yeah…feelings.
It will take all my strength to navigate the Storm of power and feelings swirling inside of me.
I just hope I can survive the trials that await me.

Yumoyori Wilson does a fantastic job at creating an engaging world with equally interesting characters. I loved the direction this storyline took. It is a seriously unique and thoroughly engulfing book to get lost in!
This book definitely focuses more on the development of Crimson’s character, which was really interesting to discover. I really enjoyed this approach, but I am hoping to see more details of her magical side developing. Oh my gosh though, this book really just gets you in the feels with Crimson’s life!
The development of the relationship between Crimson and the guys isn’t really shown. It happens very rapidly to a certain point, but I’m thinking that we’ll get a chance to see it progress in more detail in the next book or so. However, while insta-relationships are not my preferred book style, there is a very reasonable explanation as to why it occurs with Crimson living through memories of Storm with her men.
Seriously don’t have words for this epicness!!
I was really curious after reading the blurb how Yumo would manage their relationships in the story without being insta-love and cheesy and holy moly I was mindblown! I’m fangirling over her books right from the first one on but I think this is one of her best books if not THE BEST!!
The story and worldbuilding ist exquisite, the characters are relatable, authentic and have so much depth! It’s full of heartmelting moments, pantydropping swoons and badass exhilirating action…and don’t get me started on the plot twist!!!!! -> mindblown<- This amazing sh*t is addicitiiiiive!
Who wants to enter a world of fantasy, magic, and intrigue? If the answer is yes then you have to read this book!! Crimson is human when she suddenly gains powers in a weird way. As if her life was not difficult enough with a scrappy boyfriend and hateful father. This makes her a target. Her and a new group of men have to figure out what is going on before it is too late. They are so many surprises my brain is still spinning with a huge one at the end. I can’t wait to see where this series is going next. If you like slow burn paranormal reverse harem romance novels then you really have to read this. In case you can’t tell I loved it so I give it 5/5 stars.
I do not have the right words to describe this book. So all I’m going to say is Yumoyori Wilson has done it again creating a amazing story!
I started reading this book and I could not put it down for very long because Crimson’s story just pulls you in and you can not escape even if you want to.
There’s so much building and releasing all throughout this story, basically it’s a complex story with awesome characters! I laughed a lot, I cried and I growled in anger too all throughout.
But it took me two days to finish this book because I kept having to take a break from it because it would just overload me with some of the things that had happened to both Crimson and Storm and the men in their pasts. It basically hit pretty close to home with some of the things that had happened to them especially with Crimson.
But all in all this book is amazing and I highly recommend it to anyone who’s interested in crawling inside this story and enjoying the exciting roller coaster ride!
I think this might be my favorite book by Wilson so far. I really like Crimson. She has not really had anyone in her corner her entire life, but has managed to make herself successful. She had been either belittled or used by everyone, but still is a caring person. She is open about her insecurities. She is also tough. She has a lot of things thrown at her in a short amount of time, but is able to adjust and keep moving forward. I like the guys, and how they show Crimson what it means to have someone really care about you and support you. I can’t wait to see where this series goes.
I think this maybe the best book Yumo has written so far. Crimson is amazing and the guys, I have no words. I can’t wait to see what they do now that she has all her powers. And that Cliffhanger, wow definitely did not see that coming! Can not wait for book 2.
