Description

DELUXE EDITION--a gorgeous paperback edition featuring rich rose sprayed edges! An Instant New York Times and USA Today Bestseller! From New York Times bestselling author Harper L. Woods comes THE COVEN, a sexy, deliciously imaginative fantasy romance where The Magicians meets Ninth House with vampires. Revenge. Raised to be my father’s weapon against the Coven that took away his sister and his birthright, I would do anything to protect my younger brother from suffering the same fate. My duty forces me to the secret town of Crystal Hollow and the prestigious Hollow’s Grove University―where the best and brightest of my kind learn to practice their magic free from human judgment. There are no whispered words here. No condemnation for the blood that flows through my veins. The only animosity I face comes from the beautiful and infuriating Headmaster, Alaric Grayson Thorne, a man who despises me just as much as I loathe him and everything he stands for. But that doesn’t mean secrets don’t threaten to tear the school in two. No one talks about the bloody massacre that forced it to close decades prior, only the opportunity it can afford to those fortunate enough to attend. Because for the first time in fifty years, the Coven will open its wards to the Thirteen. Thirteen promising students destined to change the world. If the ghosts of Hollow’s Grove’s victims don’t kill them first. Read more

  • Great PNR with Romance Fantasy Feels and FABULOUS ENDING!
I finished reading 'The Coven,' Book 1 of Coven of Bones series by Harper L. Woods and it was GREAT 🤩! (I am just a regular reader and not affiliated the author! There are NO spoilers 🙌) This book is getting A LOT of attention lately, so thought I'd give it a shot! It's categorized as a Paranormal Romance, but I personally think it feels like a Romance Fantasy (Fantasy Romance/Romantasy) because of the writing style & worldbuilding. If you love the relationship between Darcy & Orion from ZA, this is going to be your jam! I did enjoy this book, but I gotta tell you... the last 18% of it was PHENOMINAL! I get why soooo many people are in love with this book! I literally cannot wait to read Book 2 (FYI you can read it in Kindle Vella before Book 2 drops!) Here's some key elements! 💀 Paranormal Romance where it starts off in our modern world, but has worldbuilding regarding Witches & their governing structure/history (this made it feel like a Romance Fantasy to me) 💀 F/M 💀 Tropes: Academy, Alphahole, Enemies-to-Lovers, Forbidden Love, Secret Powers, Student/Teacher 💀 Witches 🧙, Vampires 🧛♂️ & Demons 👹 💀 More of a descriptive writing style with worldbuilding elements ✍️! 💀 Two POVs in the 1st person: FMC and MMC 💀 Starts off with the FMC's mother passing and the FMC trying to hide herself & her brother from the "Covenant" & Academy, but she knows she has a fated path she must walk... 💀 FIERCE FMC with SECRET POWERS 💀 Steamy 🔥 scenes with a controlling, snarky MMC 💀 No Romantic HEA, as this is Book 1 of a series with the same characters 💀 REALLY AMAZING ENDING & TWIST 🌪 💀 It's on Amazon's bestsellers list for Paranormal Romance (#3) 💀 FREE ON KU! So if you have KU, give it a shot for sure! It's also on Kindle Vella! 💀 Author's FB Group The Forrest - Harper L. Woods & Adelaide Forrest 💀 Fans of books with good/bad witches where the FMC is POWERFUL & GOOD, the main love interest is an enemy VAMPIRE, there's great STEAM (not too overpowering,) and where there's a REALLY, REALLY great TWISTY ending... may LOVE this!

  • The Coven - A Witchy Vampire read The Coven - A Witchy Vampire read
✔️ Dark Academia ✔️ Enemies to Lovers ✔️Witches and Vampires (Vessels) This little book put a spell on me because it was supposed to be a buddy read but I finished it before my buddy even got her book. 👀 (As a side note - I think I’m a buddy reading failure, but in my defense this was one of those “one more chapter” books.) This may not be the best written book but it was certainly entertaining. I really enjoyed the backstory of both of the MCs in this one and thought the witch power distribution/structure was interesting. Willow is a witch in hiding who happens to have two magical powers while Gray is the headmaster who also is a vessel (vampire). I thought they had a solid enemies to lovers story arc and really enjoyed the chemistry and connection between them. I was a little disappointed with the lack of storytelling for really any of the side characters and thought the world could have been expanded on a bit more. With that said this was a good read and it had some surprises (especially at the end) that have me wanting to read the next one! “You fight. Every moment of every day, you fight. Because that is who you are.” “What happens when I'm tired of fighting?” “Then you let me do it for you” ... show more

  • Moody, sensual, Gothic romance Moody, sensual, Gothic romance
From the first paragraphs, The Coven held me spellbound within its pages. A classic Gothic romance, this thrilling tale is everything you want in a darker romance. It's atmospheric, sensual, shrouded in shadows with shades of black and gray. The color coming from flashes of light reflected from the character's eyes, or the spilling of blood across an alabaster throat. The setting itself is as central to the story as the main characters. The story bleeds with suspense, intrigue, revenge, life, death and rebirth. Willow is a witch raised to be an instrument of revenge against the Coven that murdered her father's sister. Alaric Grayson Thorne is a Vessel, a vampire who is also the headmaster of Hollow's Grove University. The Coven sends him to collect Willow when her magic makes itself known. Thorne underestimates Willow, and Willow takes great delight putting the smug headmaster in his place. Twice. Their battle of wills is heart pounding, and sets the tempo for their entire relationship. The writing is phenomenal. There are multiple plots and subplots woven throughout the book. The magic of these witches is fascinating, as is their relationship to the Vessels. The world building using a Gothic setting is not only unique, but allows for the genre's darker elements to be used to great effect. I was completely captivated by this book. The sharp dialogue, the story premise, the setting, and the jaw dropping reveal leading to the cliffhanger had my pulse thundering with each turn of the page. Waiting for the next book is going to be hard, but believe me, The Coven is worth the book hangover. ... show more

  • It gets better
Format: Kindle
When I first started this book I was so extremely irritated by the way the author wrote. It seemed off I guess. Some sentences didn't make sense and some of it just ran together which made it difficult to want to continue reading. However the story line of this is incredible. I loved the story so I wanted to continue reading. I don't know when it changed, maybe half way or 3/4 through the book but suddenly the writing was better. I felt more excited about what was coming next. For a book that is only a little over 200 pages it took me awhile to read. As I said before the writing in the beginning really killed me. The story follows Willow who is both an earth witch and a necromancer. She is the last of both the Madizza bloodline and the Hecate bloodline. She is forced to go into a school for witches where she meets her had master Gray (not really his name but that's what she calls him pretty much throughout.) She proves to be incredibly strong and smart and she is there on a mission from her father. In this realm male witches choose whether they wish to have children and give up their powers or keep their powers and bear no children. Since witches are few and far between now most males choose to give up their powers in order to have children to continue bloodlines. Willows father was a Hecate, her mother a Madizza both taught her early on what she was meant to do. Her mother teaching her that you must always give back that which you take with magic. So when you use earth magic a sacrifice must be given back. Her father who no longer has magic teaches her how to fight, to be cunning, to lie and do what she must in order to get the mission completed. He is a terrible person. But going in and knowing what she must do she doesn't expect to fall for the man she's meant to deceive. Gray is a vessel, a demon trapped inside a body that was made for him. Charlotte Hecate created them in order to stop demons from possessing humans. And semi control what they could do. As a Hecate she can unmake that which her ancestor made. Vessels are really just vampires except without the rules. They can walk in daylight but solely feed on witches to gain power from the witch. It is a pact made between both vessels and witches. Witches hate vessels and vessels hate witches. But everything is not as it seems. And Willow was not prepared for what follows. I rated this 3 solely because the writing style in the beginning murdered me to the point I almost DNF'd. But I'm glad I pushed through I'm glad that I gave the author a chance to redeem herself and continued on. As now I want to read book 2. This is my opinion, as with all my ratings read this books for yourself and decide if you love it or hate it. That's the joy of reading! ... show more

So I went into this completely blind. Only thing I have ever heard was that this book was basically just about doing the deed. And while yes, I can see why some may think that…that is not the case at all. And maybe I was just listening to the wrong reviewers…who knows! But here’s my honest opinion… — The plot was great honestly! I loved that Willow held the power of both a Green witch and a Necromancer. I could never think of a logical reason why the bones were SO important other than it was an ancestor of hers. And why yes that is important, Willow NEVER questioned her father further on why he pushed her so hard. Like ma’am you never thought there was a deeper reason other than it was his sister? I also knew that Thorne could not be the good guy no matter how bad any of you readers wanted him to be. There was ALWAYS clear communication he had no heart. But for whatever reason Willow being this badass FMC made the grave mistake thinking maybe she was capable of him actually having feelings for her. — The magic system was great, I loved the different types of witches and how they harness their powers. That was 10/10 — Characters in this were all great tbh. I didn’t think that the side characters ever took away from Thorne or Willow but held just as much importance in key roles. I would be interested to see if the second book mentions Iban more but I doubt. I honestly feel like that would have been nice to read a little more depth into that relationship. Thorne did a really good job deceiving the heck out of you. Though looking back at certain parts I can see where Harper hinted he was something old and sinister. Like saying he was older than anyone there and that he has seen it all. And when Willow asked his true name and that was a semi tense moment for them…he never revealed it. I mean really…Lucifer? That was good Harper. That was good. — The “romance” or whatever you want to call it that bloomed between Willow and Thorne was believable. Though the one scene where he took her virtue really threw me for a curve ball lol. I read the trigger warnings but it still got me. Harper wrote that scene where it wasn’t meaning to seem disgusting but more of a “binding” moment and with Thorne being a “vampire”/vessel whatever you want to call it at the end of the day…it made sense why he is attracted to blood. But goodness did everything click into place at the very end. Even with all the clear warning signs about WHY he was doing what he was doing I still didn’t see the ending coming. Only reason I didn’t give this a full five stars is because this type of dark romance always makes me a little unsure? Blood play is a trope I’m not sure I’ll ever get behind entirely. It’s definitely not a bad book, especially if you are into witches and magic. Just please read the trigger warnings before diving right in, and well, maybe even some in depth reviews. 😉 ... show more

  • Dark Paranormal Romance… Say Less!
Format: Kindle
Harper L. Woods’ fantastical storytelling is so on point in The Coven. I was drawn into this witchy world from the first page, although, the last 3-4 chapters were phenomenal! The cliffhanger at the end… Chef’s kiss! I will be reading the next book as soon as I can because I need to know what happens!!! The world-building is amazing and I wanna live there! The characters are just extraordinary and Woods works magic through them in their development. I absolutely am here for the banter between Willow and Gray. The fact that Gray tells Willow that he can’t love her in this form but then acts and shows her nothing but love is so stunning! I fall for the “touch her and die” every single time, and this one is no different! There are quite a few minor characters that definitely add to the mystery and enchantment of this story and I’m so sad about the ending of this storyline for them… I want to just crawl through the pages and hug them tight. I just want y’all to know, I came for the spice and stayed for the plot. I almost wish I had waited until October to read this, but I believe that every month is spooky month, which makes this a perfect read for anytime! This is a fast-paced, easy read and I enjoyed every single second of it! I hated that I came to the end and will absolutely be reading-reading this book in the future! ... show more

  • Dirty with the Devil
Format: Kindle
This was a book club pick and probably not something I would have picked up on my own. I had a lot of fun reading it, and went through about every emotion imaginable. I figured out the "twist" at the end around 3/4 through the book, but there were plenty of twists and turns I didn't expect that kept me on my toes. Gray was one of those characters I loved to hate, but still had those great shadow daddy vibes. Willow was almost too much with trying to be independent/strong/different. I think her saving grace was how she went back and forth with her true emotions/self and the persona she was trying to present. There was good world building and some great secondary characters. I'm excited to pick up the next book as soon as I can (but have some ARCs I need to get through first) ... show more

  • A delightful surprise! 4.5*
Format: Kindle
From the start, we are pulled into a dark, gothic world where witches are ruled by bags of bones, corruption runs rampant, and the old ways are discarded. Hidden amongst the unsuspecting but distrustful humans, we meet Willow and her brother Ash during their mother's funeral. What was a difficult period will get even worse when the Headmaster of Hollow's Grove University stands at their door to invite Willow to attend as the last of her powerful line. Let's just say "invite" is a loose term. And that's where this amazing hate-to-love, push-and-pull story kicks off. I love both Willow and Gray. They are such incredible characters! Each interaction is filled with hate, secrets, and lust, tying them more and more together. Their chemistry is explosive, and I'm so here for it! I'm also looking forward to seeing more from Della and even Iban, and I'm wondering what part they will play in all this. I won't spoil anything, but the twists and turns in this book still have me reeling at the end. I was still reeling, even knowing something was coming (thanks to my curious, sneaky blurb peek *sigh*). So yeah, please beware of the cliff; it's a doozy! But on the bright side, you can dive right into the second book! (just know that the third book will be released in October 2025). Setting this one as one of my favorites and highly recommend reading it :D ... show more
