Calling Quarters was a wonderful, spicy read. I was very much invested in the story of, *cough* Storie. I will be looking forward to reading what comes next from Jen Stevens.

I have no idea how I received his book but it is free on kindle unlimited and I found it on my netgalley.com review list as well as sharing it as a book blitz by xpresso tours - however I received it thank you!

This was a great read, although I missed much of October due to a family tragedy this book helped get me back into the swing of reading again. Well plotted with great characters. This is a mystery, a romance, and a tale of power. Not just magical power but political power. The Quarters of Beacon Grove are meant to protect the town as they perform magic. They basically hold the circle to prevent bad stuff from happening. However since before the current Quarters took over their powers have been waning. Rumor has it that every Quarter has a mirror and that the mirrors are draining the power from the Quarters so in order to stop this Mirrors must be found and killed. However no one wants their children killed so those who believe they gave birth to mirrors fled Beacon Hill.

Now a Mirror has returned to Beacon Hill and when she meets her Quarter more than sparks fly. Torn between his duty to destroy his mirror and the pull he feels toward her Remy Winters keeps her secret and begins to think the whole town may have been deceived, but who is pulling the strings?

Good plotting, interesting characters and good story line. I think this may be marketed as an adult book but I put it firmly in the YA category.

I really tried to finish this book. I picked it up again after a few weeks to try again, but I just couldn’t get into it. I was under the impression that the coven was a secret, but the people in it give information away very easily. Almost as if it is public information. I might’ve missed the part that made it to where everyone knew about the coven.

I really liked the main character and the love interest dynamic. I almost continued reading just to see what would happen between them, but I couldn’t get interested enough to do that.

If you like enemies-to-lovers, forbidden romance, witches, magic and small town stories, then you should read this book. You might enjoy it more than I did.

thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this Arc! this book was perfect for October and it was a really fun read! it was paced really well and an easy read

This book wasn't unenjoyable, but it certainly wasn't good. When I see a book being categorized as "new adult" that's typically my expectation, though I was hoping that in this case I would be proved wrong! The plot really intrigued me - secrets, deception and danger? I'm in. I just didn't love the writing. I found it pretty juvenile, especially when it came to the descriptions used for intimate scenes.

I had fun in reading this story as it's well plotted and entertaining.
The pace kept me reading, the plot flows and I liked characters/world building.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
