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.
Perfect if you love:

Spellcaster gave me plenty to enjoy at Weatherstone College with ancient family grudges, necromancy, monsters, and forbidden magic. Paisley arrives at the magical college with unpredictable powers and quickly finds herself tangled up with Logan Kingston. He is the powerful spellcaster she has been warned to avoid. Their families share an ugly history, but Logan also appears to be the person capable of awakening something much bigger inside Paisley.
Jaymin Eve has created an entertaining magical setting with enough family secrets and supernatural danger to keep the pages moving. The ancestral feud, necromancy, emerging creatures, and betrayals gave me much more to enjoy than the fairly standard romantasy writing. I was never bored, but nothing about the story or romance felt especially memorable either.
The supernatural side of the book was easily my favorite part. Monsters begin emerging around Weatherstone, the dead return to help the characters, and secrets surrounding Paisley’s magic point toward years of betrayal and magical politics. I loved the idea that Paisley had been kept from understanding the true extent of her abilities. Logan being the person who activates those powers added to their romance. Their relationship starts with two people ignoring a family feud and transforms into a possible bridge between two families that have spent generations divided.
The character's maturity felt more immature than the characters’ actual ages. Paisley and Logan reminded me more of The Vampire Diaries age range than adults in their twenties. Their relationship is supposed to be a delicious forbidden romance with a dangerous villainous love interest. The smut never reached the level I expected. I enjoyed the smutty scenes, but they were surprisingly tame considering Logan’s reputation and the intensity of their attraction. I wanted a little more bite from them.
Paisley’s family gets a satisfying moment near the end with her father’s position at Weatherstone restored. The final scene opens the door to a much larger problem for the sequel. The cliffhanger definitely caught my attention. My curiosity just is not strong enough to send me racing toward Night Witch. Pick this up if you enjoy magical colleges, family feuds, supernatural creatures, and lighter forbidden romance.
Enemies to possibly fated lovers??? Time will tell this is the first in a series and it was tasty! We ended on a cliffhanger. Achedemia setting. Clearly something strange is going on at this college for witches and warlocks. Demons showing up attacking students right around the same time a mysterious student with a dark connection to her family transfers in? This is making Paisley's freshmen year oh so complicated. It doesn't help that he's dangerously gorgeous. Would like to see what comes of this one!
I was excited to buddy read this with my friend but we were disappointed. Its mentioned that mythical beasts don't exist and yet dragons blood is used in a potion. The magic system seems super interesting but unfortunately we dont ever really get a lot of info about it. There's not a lot of world building, just snippets thrown in randomly but yet no one else knows about it in this world? Everything just felt very surface level and wasn't deep at all. I found myself wanting more.
