As I said it before about Sara Reine: "she moves pretty well among different characters and types of women. You don't read the same thing or about the same "person/ality" twice in her books. They are never a mold for each other, quite the opposite."
And so Leah wasn't something I've read in her books. But unfortunately she still reminds me a little too much of Rylie. Not because she's the same character, simply as she's 20 and naive. Not much to like it for me, quite the contrary. NA isn't my gig ...more

Leah has led a sheltered life… she certainly has never attended many concerts. But even she’s pretty sure concerts don’t usually end up with you waking up on the tour bus surrounded by naked people - and sexy werewolves and witches
I am going to, again, reference my pledge to read every word SM Reine has ever typed in her entire life ever.

I knew this series had potential! Book 2 was leagues above the first! For starters, Leah is way more likeable than Ophelia was as a lead protagonist. Leah is curvy, nerdy (English major who loves to read), and her first concert was The Backstreet Boys; girl after my own heart. Leah's internal dialogue is downright hilarious and surprisingly realistic, and it also helps that she starts off as a "normal" person. In this vulgar world of S.M. Reine, we meet this meek little Mormon (ex-mormon?) girl

The second part is about a Leah who got a tarot card of hierophant, and mistaken it for a Ticket of a band invitation, they went there and enjoyed the concert and met the band members then things start happening, and Rage as a Coven priest has to realise to Leah that she is witch without her they are bit powerless and always have a danger looming over them and her friend Raven make her read the book of charms and magic she can perform and use According to her wish and biggest thing is that becau

I wanted to shake this main character until she got some sense in her through the entire book. I could not get into this until Ofelia from the last book made an appearance. The "heroine" was a ninny, as well as being incredibly young, and it didn't interest me at all. The storyline for this book was also absurd. I only kept on because I have the entire series on my Kindle, so it'll be easy to continue. I am planning to keep reading the series because the premise is interesting,as long as the nex

I am loving this Tarot Witches series. Okay, it does get into more adult erotica but the stories are still quite interesting. The characters are full and flawed but lovable. This series takes you back to the beginnings as it were with werewolves and the worries those guys bring to the world. But now we have witches who are just learning that they even have that inner talent of magic.

From book 1 I knew that this series is a very steamy, 18+++ rated one.
But I couldn't warm up to this one. The whole story feels stupid and I am a bit outraged at the content of abduction, bondage and partonising.
Leah gets abducted by Rage and his Band. She falls for Donne, a werewolf, but him and Rage want to save/sacrifice her for Graham, Donnes Dad. Noone really is interested in what she wants. She is a mere “kitten” and that's fine for her. There is lots of sex including cutting and bonding a ...more

Forbidden Witches - Tarot Witches - Book 2
I am a big fan of SM Reine and I have over 20 of her books, but I was very disappointed with Forbidden Witches. If this book was to be read by young adults, I would never have allowed my girls to read it. The story started out, in my opinion, glorifying kidnapping a 20 year old woman for the needs of others. Once under this rock groups control, Leah Todd is enveloped into a world of alcoholism, drug abuse, perverse sex abuse and actual violence upon her ...more

I received this ARC book from the author in exchange for my honest review.
I did enjoy this book, but I wasn't a fan of the main character to be honest. Leah is the sweet and innocent straight A student when her friend convinces her to go to a rock band's gig after she received a tarot card, which she believed was an invitation! One of the road crew of the band noticed the tarot card on her and dragged her off to meet the band and from there the whole story develops.

Leah is a straight A student, innocent, Mormon girl who is excited to finish finals and graduate college. Until the night her and her friend, Chad, go to see The Forbidden and she ends up in the VIP section thanks to a mysterious card she received in the mail. Her life is never the same after that, she was very naive and didn’t believe in witches or werewolves or demons. She believed in god and she believed she was meant to graduate college and marry a good Mormon man and have tons of grandchild

Leah is a twenty-year-old Mormon graduating two years early with a bachelor's, but when she's brought into the new world of magic and 'monsters', it's hard for her to accept anything. It's because of this that I had a hard time enjoying Leah. She was close-minded, a little judgmental in my personal opinion, and she really had a difficult time near the end, but her constant need to continue satisfying her curiosity- and maybe even the parts of her that she rarely let out -made me continue on with

Were there any PoC? Yes! No main characters this time, mores the pity.
Were there any Queer/GLITTFAB characters? Yes! Explicitly! There was bonus NonMonogamy that wasn’t shamed! So good!
Was it worth my time? Yeah. Seeing a privileged, religious youngster learn all about the beauty of Sharing & Loving was pretty delightful. Learning more about the mysterious tarot cards was pretty good, too. I did enjoy how there was at least an attempt to weave Leah’s very strict religious upbringing with the ver ...more

I am enjoying this series. I want to see where the tarot witches take us. I have the 3rd book in my library but I really wish it was on Audible. The narration was phenomenal. Ofelia, our stripping bartender raised as a witch and Leah, our mormon college student were genuine . I would have liked to see more of the relationship between Donne and Leah (more of a spotlight on her blowing Rage than their matting ) but I recommend and plan on finishing series than perhaps moving on to another by this

Okay, One: the covers does not resemble the Main Character at all from how she is described. I was happy to have a heavy set girl as an MC, but that cover is not. Two: I was very disappointed when I started this book and the characters from book one were no where to be found. Not until near the very end. Three: I found all that went on with this book to be confusing but maybe thats just me. Anyways now that book One characters have come back I will read book Three.

If you liked the first book, you'll probably enjoy this one. I caught o e or two continuity errors (in the end, Donne is said to be dressed in his sweats, but a minute later, he's taking off his jeans....?), but other than that, good story. In a way, this series is starting to remind me a bit of Night World by JL Smith, and in a good way.

So. I know i said in my review of the first book in the series I was intrigued to see where this went? Well. I got part way through this and did not care at all. The consent was waaaaaay dubious (she was hammered) and now they’ve basically kidnapped her? Nope. Pass. Also passing on the next two in the series. Bye bye.

I'm liking this series a little more. Now I really want to know where this is going. Witches and werewolves...how can you go wrong with that, right? I kind of wish this book would have gone more into the magick portion, but maybe we'll get more in the next book.

Absolutely love this book! Can't wait to read book 3.
I think the author pours her soul, fantasies, and everything else she has to offer into the books. I cannot resist the temptation to buy everything she writes! ...more

I liked this book. Took me out of my book slump... It was intriguing and hot. I didn't like that weren't explaining what was happening to her and the wolves. There were some dodgy stuff going on there trying to push her to mate with someone didn't like but all turned out good💖

Hi everyone! My name is Sara, and I write urban fantasy and paranormal novels as SM Reine. I collect swords, cat hair, and typewriters (which I do use for writing!). It's a good day when those three things have nothing to do with each other.
