AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES & USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

From the bestselling author of the Shadow Beast Shifter series, Jaymin Eve, comes SPELLCASTER an all-new, intense enemies-to-lovers romantasy with steamy heat, magical creatures, fast pacing, and stakes that will keep you hooked. Told in duet narration featuring Savannah Peachwood and Jason Clarke, dive into a world where love is as dangerous as power—and nothing is ever as it seems...

Welcome to Weatherstone College…

Don’t walk the halls late at night.
Don’t disturb the ancient magic.
And don’t, under any circumstances, ever trust a spellcaster.

When my magic bloomed at twenty-two, the last thing I expected was to receive an acceptance letter to the most prestigious witch college in the world. It’s not that I don’t have magic. It’s just…unpredictable. But with Weatherstone a part of my family legacy, I’m determined to live up to their expectations.

A task that’s almost derailed on my very first day when I come face-to-face with Logan Kingston, the son of my father’s enemy. I’m warned to avoid the powerful spellcaster at all costs, but apparently Logan did not receive the same memo. The more time I spend around him, the more I crave his unsettling attention, and as hate flirts with obsession, I’m left wondering if there’s another side to the decades-old feud between our fathers.

On top of that, Weatherstone is not at all like I expected. Built on the ancient blood of necromancers and battle, the magic here is as unpredictable as mine, and I sense a dark energy stalking my footsteps. When a monster attacks me, I have no choice but to turn to the strongest warlock in our school: Logan.

After all, to fight a monster, I’ll need a monster.

Almost a 4 ⭐️ pacing and cliffhanger

I enjoyed this book overall, and I think the narrators did a fantastic job. That said, parts of it felt a little flat. The FMC does grow, but most of the story seemed to happen to her rather than showing her grit and determination. I wanted more moments where she truly fought for something. A lot of the storytelling leaned toward “telling” instead of really pulling me into the struggle.

The sibling dynamics were sweet, but they did not feel very realistic. All these bad things are happening and they are barely present, and when they are, there is not much depth. One sibling practically disappears without adding much to the story, and other friendships or relationships are introduced but never really explored. Maybe I am biased, but sibling bonds usually have more tension and squabbles mixed in with the love. It would have felt more genuine that way. I would also love to see more page time for the side characters and friendships.

My biggest frustration was the pacing. We do not really get to the heart of the story until the last two chapters, and then it ends on a cliffhanger. I think the reveal should have come before the ending, with book two diving into how the FMC handles that fallout. Instead, the cliffhanger left me more annoyed with the writing than intrigued, which is unusual for me.

That being said, I will absolutely be picking up the second book. I love Jaymin Eve, I am hooked on the overall plot, and Logan is everything 🤤 (I love a good dark bad boy). Also, the spicy scenes were perfect in my opinion. I hope the sequel brings more depth and grit, because I am excited to see where things go 🩵

Good read

Truly enjoyed this one. Can’t wait for the sequel! Please don’t make us wait long!

Overall, a great listen!!!

I binged this in 2 days!! It was a great listen. Narrators were good, story progressed well, LOVED the spice. There were a few parts that were very predictable but still entertaining. Left on a lot of cliffhangers though. Can’t wait to listen to the second one.

Great story!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading and listening to this book! I have to find out when the next one is going to be published because it's going to kill me waiting to find out what happens next. I loved the character development, the storyline was written perfectly, and I was drawn into the book and did not want to put it down for any reason! I have the Kindle version and I have the audible version and the voice actors did a phenomenal job. Overall, I loved the book and I want the next one to be out right now!
