The Clan of Mist

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to the authors for my ARC :)

Thessalia is a siren destined to take over as clan leader from her mother. It’s not the exact life she wants as she just wants to explore the world. Her clan possess a water amulet that they battle against other sirens to be the protectors of every 25 years. There are 7 amulets that exist in the world and if combined unleash a demon into the world. When Thessalia decides one day to leave her village to explore she gets lost but a halcyon shifter Dromie navigates her home and they become friends.

Dromie’s uncle owns a night club for magical beings and one night out, Thessalia spots him! What’s is it about this man? She feels all kinds of things inside, but in an instant he’s gone. It’s not long before Dromie organises a double date of sorts and it involves this mysterious stranger. Next minute, Thessalia has passed out and been kidnapped. This dark mysterious stranger named Kage has kidnapped her for the amulet, but her mother won’t ever give it up. But why does she continue to feel attraction for him when he’s entrapped her without water to fuel her magic?

This book was easy to read that I read it in one go! It’s fast paced, we never get lost in the world building and the characters are loveable. Was definitely a great opening novel to the series and I definitely was left wanting more. I felt like Thessalia was relatable because when you’re young, you want to break free of any restrictions your parents place on you.

I wasn’t expecting the spicy scenes when they came along, so that was a nice surprise when I got to those pages. It’s a small dose in there and fun!

I loved the idea of crocodile shifters as it’s not something I personally have come across in my readings, so that was refreshing. Kage has lived a rough life and he has got to have layers right? Will be interesting to see if we get to know him more in the series.

This book has a mix of fated mates, enemies to lovers, magic, shifters, romance and kidnapping trope. If you’re a lover of any of these, then you will enjoy this start to a series!
