Review: The Magic Of Discovery (Emerald Lakes Series Book 1) by Britt Andrews

The Magic Of Discovery by Britt Andrews
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Enjoyable Debut Novel

I really enjoyed this novel and was surprised to read it was the author’s debut. It was very well paced and the characters were exceptionally well developed. I also really liked the world building and plot.

Saige is a witch. She’s 27, lived in her small town for her whole life and actually likes it there. She owns a magic shop and spends much of her time gardening and making things for her shop, using her green magic. Raised by her sex obsessed grandmother, who Saige adores, she is happy, friendly and open despite her previous poor relationship choices.

Then four mages, Cam, Kai, Sloane and Fischer, come to town and rent the apartment above her shop and there is instant chemistry, however I like that the involvement with the men progressed at different rates. Her relationship with each man is unique and stands separate from the rest, as well as being interwoven with them all, as all men have been friends since childhood. However, Saige doesn’t know that the mages are in her small town to investigate the sighting of a missing woman for their boss.

On top of the insta-lust and unknown undercover investigation, there is something screwy with Saige’s magic, her psycho ex is creeping around and she just became part of a weird prophecy.

I think this book has the potential to turn into a very good series if the rest of it builds on what this first book has established. The progression of building tension was done very well, starting out slowly and gradually ramping it up to the cliffhanger ending. The heat starts out quite early though and that part of the book is nice and spicy with MM, BDSM and Ménage scenes.

I won’t say the storyline is terribly unique and nothing really surprised me greatly, but this is a very good example of hot Paranormal RH done well and I look forward to the next book in the series.
