Ever (Everest) finds her way to Mercy Ridge after finding out her boyfriend is cheating on her. on her way there, she literally runs into Arson with her car. and from there her journey truly begins. Mercy Ridge turns out to be a sanctuary for supernaturals called mysts and Ever has no idea.

“”𝘐’𝘮 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘺, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘮𝘦 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳.” 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳. 𝘐𝘵 𝘴𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘳. 𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘭, 𝘴𝘩𝘦’𝘴 𝘮𝘺 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭. 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳.”

i think most of the sections i highlighted were things Arson said 🤣🤭 and of course he was my fav of all of Ever’s men. Arson is the unhinged psycho shadow demon (and also stalker) who is like a hyper little puppy, Ledger is the overprotective alpha wolf shifter who takes care of everyone (and owns a bookstore), Myles is the shy and nerdy tech mage, and Bellamy is her online best friend mimic who has always had her back and wants to steal her away. they all have different relationships with her and all have to come to terms with being one of hers and working together.

while in Mercy Ridge, Ever begins to learn more about herself and also how the supernatural world works. all while trying to finish creating her universal gaming system.

this is a great first book to the series. it sets up the world and all the different characters and side. and while you had the plot of Ever and her gaming system and her ex, you also have another overarching plot and extend into the next book. it is a shower burn and starts to heat up more towards the end.

the book does end in a cliffhanger and i can’t wait until the next book. i am not sure how many books will be in the series, but excited to see Ever discover more about herself.
