Joanna just wants to spend the holiday curled up with her coven of handsome professors, but family obligations wait for no one. Instead of wintery cuddles, she’s up to her neck in the Pike brothers and their wives, a cast of political figures invited to their dinner parties and, worst of all, Callum’s father, Duncan. Duncan Pike is a nasty piece of work–not only did he place a young Callum in … the heart of an ugly war, he disapproves of Isaac and Aiden.
Duncan claims a new war is coming, and it looks like he might be right. As if that weren’t enough, the infamous warrior Sabine York is showing a marked interest in Callum–is she after revenge? Or does she want to add Callum to her coven of soldiers?
When trouble strikes and Callum is separated from the rest of the coven, Joanna, Isaac, and Aiden must travel from the library to the capitol to Vermenia, desperate for their reunion. And, on his own for the first time in years, Callum must tread carefully back into the waters of war he’s spent decades avoiding.
Can they fight through the people and the miles standing between them and return safely together again?

Hard to put down!
I loved this sequel to Kathryn Moon’s Librarian’s Coven series! My favorite of the guys before coming into this book was Callum but how the 2 helped rally around Joanna helped make them even. I loved the story in this one too!
So in Book 2, Joanna and her coven have to deal with a horrible plot that tries to start a war between the two countries. Callum is put in the middle and is held hostage (not in horrible conditions, but in captivity nonetheless) while Joanna, Isaac, and Aiden figure out a way to get him back. We get to see Joanna embrace her magic even more and figure out a way to save the day. Joanna must trust some characters who helped put them all in this mess, in order to rescue Callum. I loved getting to meet new characters, especially those across the border and Callum’s fill-in mother figure. I wanted to punch his dad in the nose, but Joanna totally took care of him hahaha. Favorite scene by far. Kathryn did a great job getting me more invested in their coven, and the friend coven with Bryce and Hildi. Bought book 3 right away on audio because I needed to know what happened next!
In terms of the narration, Cornell and Sienna did fantastic jobs again. I felt the tension and love between Joanna and her men. I really believed them when Callum’s dad was involved how horrible and conniving he was. The different brothers and sister in laws in Callum’s family were brilliantly done as well. The famous fighter coven was performed amazingly too, especially those with extra accents. These narrators are very talented and really make this world come to life
Oh man, I spent most of the time reading while sitting on the edge of my seat with bouncing legs. This book was as good as the first one. I gobbled it up in one sitting. And can I just say that I really dislike Callums father. What a cold hearted doochcanoo.
I can’t wait for book three to come out. I love this series and the authors other books.
For those looking for some sweet m/m action in a reverse harem style, this book has it in spades. This isn’t just a reverse harem with a female and a handle of dedicated and loving men: each individual of the coven is involved with the others and it’s freakin amazing and beautifully done. Besides that, the storyline is so freakin well done and just really intriguing. I got so caught up in the book that I didn’t go to bed until 3 am!
Seriously, this is a one click author all the way!
While this coven might have faced the Hallow, they are facing their hardest challenge yet.
This book had me engaged and engulfed by the story from the very beginning.
It was a wonder to read all the emotions and adventure that came to fruition on these pages.
Wonderful read!
I received an advanced copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an unbiased , honest review.
