Revenge.
Raised to be my father’s weapon against the Coven that took away his sister and his birthright, I would do anything to protect my younger brother from suffering the same fate. My duty forces me to the secret town of Crystal Hollow and the prestigious Hollow’s Grove University—where the best and brightest of my kind learn to practice their magic free from human judgment.
There are no whispered words here. No condemnation for the blood that flows through my veins. The only animosity I face comes from the beautiful and infuriating Headmaster, Alaric Grayson Thorne, a man who despises me just as much as I loathe him and everything he stands for.
But that doesn’t mean secrets don’t threaten to tear the school in two. No one talks about the bloody massacre that forced it to close decades prior, only the opportunity it can afford to those fortunate enough to attend.
Because for the first time in fifty years, the Coven will open its wards to the Thirteen.
Thirteen promising students destined to change the world.
If the ghosts of Hollow’s Groves’ victims don’t kill them first.

Dark, thrilling, sexy, and absolutely villainous, The Coven, was just in a league of its own. I absolutely could not get enough of this magical, dark world.
The first two chapters of the book I feel like set up beautifully who Willow is as our FMC. It instantly shows how fierce she is, how protective she can be, how wonderfully in touch with magic she is, and also how much of a straight badass she is.
On the other side our MMC, Gray, he plays his role so deliciously. Make no mistake, he is absolutely the villain in this story but he does is with every bit of male dominance and sexiness. I liked his always in control attitude, and I want so much more of him.
“What happens when I’m tired of fighting?” I asked, trying to ignore the pool of tears threatening to fall. Hoping the water from the shower would wash them away before he could notice. His face softened, his lips touching mine in a kiss that was so much more delicate than any other. “Then you let me do it for you.”

Harper L. Woods does just an amazing job of weaving this dark story. When you think of a “dark coven”, this is absolutely it. Demons, oh yes. Murders, absolutely. Sacrifices.. DEFINITELY. However, it’s also so addicting and weaved with some gorgeous parts of a magic too. I absolutely cannot wait for the next book!
