While this particular series may not be my favorite from this author, it takes place in my favorite world of hers. It is directly connected to the visionary and starlight books.
By far the most well-developed of the worlds and I hope the author continues to do stories that take place within it.
Also, can I just say that isn’t it just adorable that the main character, Scarlet, goes by Scar? How cute is that!? And pretty perfect for her job which is a paranormal investigator. Or at least an up-and-coming one because she is a criminology student with some interesting paranormal visions and gifts that help her kick butt at her job.
I love love this book
SPOILERS!
At the beginning, She’s conceited. She looks good and she knows it (and constantly comments on it). I’m all for a woman owning how she feels about herself, but to constantly comment on it (at least in the first half of the book) is crazy annoying. but she stays with a boyfriend that it seems she almost can’t stand. Doesn’t make sense.
I actually HATED her, at first. She doesn’t have feelings for Jake, yet is so aggravated when he reaches out to find out what happened to her when she never came home.
And then she decides to break up with Jake now that she’s found Jaxson. She states that she “needed a man who was confident in himself and in me. Not someone who’d worry about me shaking my milkshake and bringing all the boys to the yard” and yet that’s exactly what she did. She went out dancing, and slept with another guy while still in a relationship with Jake. Talk about a hypocrite.
And then she’s all crying all over the fact that he cheated/is cheating…but she did the very same thing!
Also, I have to say she’s not coming off as the smartest cookie. I mean, here she is…with psychic abilities and it never once crossed her mind that an organization called Paranormal INC just might have something to do with the paranormal?
Throughout the book, I just wanted to slap some sense into her. It wasn’t until the focused moved off her relationship with her boyfriend that book actually got better. Still, I had a difficult time really getting into this character because of her behavior at the beginning.
Also, I was disappointed because while there is some attention paid to the physical aspect of her relationship with her guys, there isn’t really any development of the guys themselves. I think they’re really interesting characters, but not much was really done with them. Hopefully the next book is better, because I would love the opportunity to learn more about them.
If you love falling into a whole new world then you so have to read this book. It may feel like the world we know but that very quickly changes as we get to know Scarlet with her gifts. I spent the first half of the book curious about the why of what was happening only to have My mind blown repeatedly during the second half. I fell in love with the world, characters, and the arching story line. I can’t wait to see where book two takes us. A must read for fans of paranormal reverse harem romance novels! I loved it so I give it 5/5 stars.
This is an awesome start to the series. I read about Scarlet in the Starlight Gods series and I like reading about her and her boys and learning more about their origins. I cant wait to read more about them.
I really liked Scar as a lead. She is a mix of strength and insecurities. She is cool, and I would love to just hang out with her. The guys are great, and each is unique. While most of the story is from Scar’s perspective, we do get some scenes from the guys POV. I can’t wait to learn more about them as the series continues. I like that towards the end there is some crossover with the Dark Wish universe, but I felt that the Visionary world was separate enough from the other series, and I wouldn’t have had to read Dark Wish or Tainted Rose to know what was going on. I can’t wait for book 2 in this series!
