It's a...Reverse Harem
Nighthelm is a city of lies, and Sophia is the greatest lie of them all. Though she has saved the city hundreds of times, the people of Nighthelm don’t even know she exists.
Found wandering the Witch Woods as a child, everything about Sophia is a mystery. With no memories and no family, she’s raised in secret by the professors of Nighthelm Academy… all of whom know far more about her than they’re letting on.
But Sophia does know one thing: she’s a contritum, a magical being with a broken soul. Her very existence is illegal, and until she finds the other piece of her soul, her uncontrollable magic will only grow more deadly and untamed.
As Sophia races the clock to find her other half, her magic growing more wild by the minute, she discovers three men who hold a mysterious sway over not just her soul, but also her heart.
The problem? She must lie. No matter what happens, she can’t tell them who… or what… she is.
Strong and dangerous, powerful and commanding, each of these men make her body react in traitorous ways. Bit by bit, she feels herself becoming whole around them. But for the life of her, she can’t figure out which of them has the missing piece to her soul… or how he got it in the first place. To make matters worse, it becomes clear someone broke her soul on purpose… and she’s on a warpath to figure out why.
In a world rife with heartbreaking betrayal and intricate spells, the magical creatures of the Witch Woods are closing in on Nighthelm. They all want one thing…
…Sophia.
The monsters of the Witch Woods have discovered what she is, and they want to slit her throat. They’ll kill anyone who stands in their way… especially her men.
To save her men and finally heal her broken life, Sophia has only one choice… she will fight. And damn it all, she will win.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book!
I'm not going to lie, I totally picked this book up because of the cover.
There was just something so eye-catching about it, it drew me in.
Then I saw the title and I was hooked.

I didn't read the blurb prior to reading so I wasn't actually sure what I was getting myself into.
But that's the best way to approach some books I think.
Just dive head first with no preconceived notions about it.

This story follows Sophia, a girl with a broken soul that causes her magic to be unbalanced and deadly.
She is considered an abomination and if caught, killed upon sight.
However, she was saved as a child when found wandering the Witch Woods as a child.
Given to a professor as a ward, he trains her daily for hours upon hours, helping her control her powers.
On her eighteenth birthday, she sneaks into town to perform the rite every child of her age does.
Speaking to the willow trees, having them wake up, is an honor bestowed upon those the spirits within the trees only grant to with a promising future.
The most to have awaken are three, so when all six wake for Sophia, she is stunned.
Now she must race against the clock to find the other half of her soul, to heal herself and her magic.
She thought it would only be one man, but it turns out to be three.

Sophia is a strong, independent woman.
Though she has suffered so many hardships in such a short amount of life, she doesn't let it get her down.
She strives to find the silver lining in the bleakest of times.
I adored reading her about her character, and how she navigated the life she was given.

The three men that she meets are from all different parts of life.
Each unique in their own way.
And each of them perfect for Sophia.
I don't want to give away too much about them, but they are fantastic!

This book keeps you on the edge of your seat, that is for sure.
There are twists and turns around every chapter.
You never know what will happen next.
I have a few theories about what the group will encounter in the upcoming books, but I can't say for sure they are correct.
That's how much the book throws you for a loop.

I loved that this didn't end on a cliffhanger.
While you still have questions, and there is more to come, this story ended with everything needed to be done, finished.
I wasn't yelling for more, too much, at the end because of how she left everything.

Overall, this is a FANTASTIC read and I can't wait for the next book to release!
