Really enjoyed this!
This was my first K.F. Breene book. I wasn't sure what to expect - the title was a bit 'meh' - but I really got stuck into it. The story telling is really good - I liked the world building and character building. The characters are likeable. Really love the relationship between Alexis, Mordecai and Daisy. Their banter is great! Also really enjoyed the relationship Alexis has with the ghosts/spirits, especially Frank! Loved it when I realised he was a spirit!Looking forward to reading the next in the series.

Interesting
Dispute some frustrations with the main characters I did like this book, especially the dynamics between Alexis, Mordecai and Daisy. A very intriguing storyline had been set up, so looking forward to reading the next book.

Awesome
This book is amazing. Very well written and keeps you enthralled, rooting for the characters.The sexual tension between the two main protagonists simmers under the surface throughout the book. However, the aspects that keeps the reader engaged is the relationship that Alexis has with her two wards and their ability to fight for each other.Definitely worth the read x

Sexy, Emotive, Nerve Wracking & Completely Unmissable!!π»πͺπβ¨π
Wow, This Is A Powerful & Spirited 4.5 Star Read!! ππOk, so we have 'sort of' single Mum Alexis. She is magical although due to its type she doesn't like using it, she sees ghosts and can help them cross over!π³ Her Mum always taught her to hide as much about herself & her magic as possible, so she did and it has become a habit to hide in the cracks between the magical & human communities.She is the Guardian to two teens - Mordecai & Daisy. He is an orphaned Shifter who has an illness caused by his shifter genes. His medication is expensive but they manage to just scrape enough money together for it every month. He's getting worse though, his pain seems to seep through his eyes no matter how much he tries to hide it plus his cough, it was so bad!π’ Daisy is Human, no magic at all but survival is a life lesson she shouldn't need to know at 14 yrs old. Her Mother was a junkie who had died of an overdose when she was a toddler so she'd survived in 'the system' until Alexis saved her aged 10. Daisy has seen far too much but thankfully it was only seen!! These three are completely dysfunctional but they'll be loyal to each other with their last breaths, they all love each other deeply & unconditionally, they're Family and they'd chosen each other!!πππKieran is a Demigod, he's Sinfully sexy, as Alpha A-Hole as you can get, yet with his face & body most would let it slide. He's clearly not heard the word 'no' often π He loves Guinness, smells of the rolling sea and sometimes his his Irish accent burrs through his deep, sultry scraped voice ππ Alexis hasn't a single clue who's path she's just walked into and if she did she'd probably run crying!!π³ Kieran is on mission when he 'bump's' into Alexis. His crew, his six most loyal & closest friends and colleagues, are hunting for someone to help his Mother! She's in dire straits & so far no one has been of use - then he reads Alexis magic and - Let the 'not stalking' stalking commence!!π³πThis book was a complete delight. You know going in that you'll have some fun with K.F Breene when she's writing in this genre, what I had forgotten was that she can gut punch you in the feels department so you're choking on your own sobs too!!π±π Seriously, I know I'm overly emotional due to hormones, but was that really necessary? π³π LolI was kept on the edge of my seat by the will they/won't they? Because, my God, Kieran & Alexis are smoking hot together π¬π₯ I'd like to get to see more of Kieran & the #SexySix interacting normally, like at the pool π *sigh* Only because they all seemed much more relaxed of course π Being half naked has nothing to do with it, Sheesh π I loved that entire scene ππ The frog splat ... That's totally what happens to normal people, well me ππ Hysterically funny π Hours later, as I'm writing my review, I realised I've randomly giggled all day today and it's because either another scene or snark filled comment flew through my head ππ Now that really impressed me as my memory is notoriously bad!!πI need to give a special mention to Mordecai and Daisy because they really kept this book humble in the best of ways! They are both beautifully strong and undoubtedly broken but from their broken places, with each other's help, support & love they've both become stronger, more resilient and are ready to take on their world along side Alexis. It's her that gave them their safety, that first glimpse of unconditional love and guidance!ππππ #LOTR #SiblingLove #FamilyThere is so much in this story, I can't wait for more to find out what's next! π All of the spiritual stuff through Alexis was completely gripping! The big reveal at the end - π₯ that was my mind blowing up π³The pacing, world building & characters are so spot on, it was almost as though I'd been there before but I havent, this is brand new and you could feel that freshness too!! It's not a DDVN book, it's not a Darkness book it's a Demigod of San Francisco book, Book 1 and it's thrilling so grab wine for Sin & chocolate for .. Yep, Enjoy because I know I did ππ π·+ π«Debbie, 1970, UK

π Great start
This is my first book by this author. I know I know where have I been? I think i was always put off due to quite a few books in each series and I tend to get too hooked sometimes to the point my kids get ignored π #joke/nojoke.Anyways, I loved the characters in this book, the banter between Alexis and her charges is fantastic! You can tell they love and care for each other with how they act with each other.Then there is Kieran the demi god who protects what's his (swoon) . I can't wait to see where this story goes, I hope there is more banter, more romance and more action. Fantastic start to the series.

Must read
It is very rare that a book has made me laugh out loud but this book did. The characters are so strong in their own rite. Will definitely read again

Rich and full of depth
I found this book by chance and Iβm so glad I did. The world created is rich and full of believable depth, the characters full of life. I hadnβt realised it was a series, not a stand alone (I would have read more anyway), but since I read this in one sitting, I will be downloading the next book as soon as this is posted.
