NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan begins a new witchy paranormal series where a magical town keeps its secrets, but those in it must find a way to keep themselves safe.
The moment Sage Reed makes her way to Ravenwood, she knows the small town lives up to its mystical lore—even if she doesn’t believe that she’s a witch. After losing her husband, she’s ready for change, and her aunt’s bookstore affords the perfect opportunity.
Rome Baker has secrets of his own—even some that he’s kept from the town he calls home. But when a striking and intriguing stranger saves his life the moment she steps into his path, his inner bear knows that she’s the one for him. However, with the town under fire, he worries he might run out of time before he can show her what they can have together.
A new enemy is on the horizon, one who hides in the shadows, whose history is steeped in lies. And if Sage and Rome aren’t careful, Sage’s new powers won’t be the only thing that spirals into flame.

3.5 Stars
This is the first of a new paranormal series for this author. The book takes place in Ravenwood--a small town hiding paranormals in plain site. Witches and Warlocks, Fae, Shifters--- a bit of everything for everyone. I love these type of books.
This one gives us great world building. Unfortunately, the world building comes at the expense of our heroine, Sage. She knows nothing of her past or of the supernatural elements in Ravenwood. She spends the first almost half of the book complaining about what she doesn't know and how come she doesn't know and why won't everyone just lay it all out for her? I found her irritating. Honestly, those who read paranormal are used to a bit of the suspension of disbelief. These stories don't read like contemporary romance. Things don't need to be as "believable". In my experience, once the element is explained, the reaction may be surprise but then it typically follows with understanding. I found Sage annoying most of the time.
The rest of the town and Rome and his whole pack were really enjoyable to read. I liked the suspense elements. There will be an ongoing story arc about the bad guys. I am looking forward to that resolving.
Overall, a good start to the series. I will read more as i enjoyed the premise laid out.
