Hidden Magic ( Harper Shadow Academy 1)
By Luna Pierce
⭐️⭐️⭐️
A cursed witch, four sexy men, and a shadow realm hidden within their academy.
My name is Willow Oliver, and I’m descended from a bloodline of powerful yet cursed witches. At least, that’s what my mother claims. Most people think she’s crazy.
I never put too much thought into it—the whole being a witch thing—I assumed my strange quirks were something everyone else had.
Flowers don’t glow when you look at them?
When others my age go off to faraway colleges and escape our sleepy town, I stay close to home so I can continue to keep an eye on my mother.
My new academy buzzes with a familiar energy. One that half the student body doesn’t seem to notice. The others simply disappear through hazy shadows, vanishing into thin air. Three of the four men I’m magnetically drawn to have skin that feels like electric when we touch, something magical hidden under the surface of each of them.
The more I uncover, the more I doubt my sanity, making me consider one of two things: I’m going crazy, too, or maybe my mom was right after all.
And if what she said of our lineage was true, will I be strong enough to face the ancient curse that is stealing our power? Or will I succumb to it while risking the lives of the ones I can’t help but care for?
It was good. Good story, decent characters and pretty much what I was expecting. Didn’t blow me away but was a decent read.

Eli was celebrating the finalisation of his divorce, and Noah was enjoying a quiet night away. When they meet, the attraction is instantaneous. Noah is not backwards in coming forward, even if he is a virgin. He is the opposite of what Eli was used to, with a strong caretaking gene that made me all kinds of gooey when I read about it. These two were just so good together, even if they did have to keep it a secret. Of course, it didn't remain that way, but I won't give out any spoilers.
Richard, Eli's ex, is a first-class d!ck - just saying. I was glad when Eli stood up to him, although he shouldn't have had to do that at all anyway. Here's hoping he doesn't show up in future books, unless it's to watch his downfall, in which case, I'll bring popcorn.
I can't wait to read more in this series and really can't recommend this book highly enough. A great read that had me hooked from the very beginning, a one-sit read for me!
