I really enjoyed this. The couple had great chemistry. They were cute together. The sex scenes were good. I really enjoyed the small town, small business and gullah aspects of the story. I wouldn't call this pagan or witchcraft representation but some would and I get why. But this is how you do a black, non-monotheistic spiritual practice well. It's not a costume. The main character is living in this life and it's not just tokenism, which I greatly appreciate. The biggest drawback for me was how much this woman kept harping on age. It got real annoying, real quick. I get it but also y'all are both adults well over the age of consent. And more importantly in this case mostly are of the same maturity level. I don't think she ever realized her ex was in her head whe  she pushed this guy away because of age. But overall it was cute. Wish we saw more over time. Book was too short.

This volume was just okay. Kind of filler. Which is disappointing after the previous volume.

New character brought some intrigue. But this is like watching a really long game of chess, lol. So not a new fave but I am still interested in continuing the series.

Well that took another turn or two. I now have way more questions but I am enjoying the journey.

Liked this installment a little better. Shedding more light on our characters and the Radiant tech, but only a little. You see more where things may crossover with other series, which could be frustrating for some. This is all bigger than either us, the readers, or the main characters thought.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. I appreciate how relatable Nathan is, especially in the beginning. And I also love how the story threw me several times with unexpected twists. I got halfway thinking I knew how this was most likely to go and then found out I was wrong. Then again it happened a couple of times. It's. Superhero origin story but not quite like those of the past. Definitely interested in continuing.

Holy shit! Amazing writing as always. This volume had me emotional. A lot of questions answered but a small cliffhanger ending leaves us with more questions. Mainly what's going to happen next. 

This left me with mixed feelings. It starts off very urban fantasy which I love then takes a sharp left into fantasy romance, which I like if that's what I'm going in for but that was not the case here. The best friend is a character that exists for no reason but to give calypso a friend. A angry, black woman for no reason just irritated me. But the chemistry was there for the romance. The relationship was built up via flashbacks mostly. However, I did feel the chemistry in the current day. The fantasy elements were interesting and I want to learn more about where this story goes as far as the big bad. I have a lot of questions,
