"You see, there is safety in simplicity... in a life of simple peace, where the electricity doesn't dance across the backs of my eyelids, and the sparks don't slither over my consciousness. Only asinine peace, where my paintings don't seem to paint themselves, leaving me with terrible feelings of premonition and a chill beneath my fingernails."Seraph Black doesn't care that she's different, because she's too busy trying to to make it from one day to another, guided by a simple set of rules: survive her father, protect her brother, put food on the table, and remain invisible.

A mysterious stalker had begun to send her creepy messages, and he was making it clear that there were no limits to how far he would go if Seraph didn't comply with his demands.The problem? It wasn't possible to give him what he wanted, because she had a feeling that in the end, what he really wanted was her.… (more)

Magic that binds you to two other people and a crazy stalker that's trying to stop the bond to take effect. This book gets quite dark, so beware.

I never really searched up books with a reverse harem and honestly, I went into this book without noticing that tag. Now, what I want to read is a book where relationships make sense. No forced triangle just for the sake of adding that guy that we all know is there just to spice the actual relationship.

This book is fulfilling that, in my opinion. We get a girl that gets bonded to 4 guys by magic. I don't want to spoil too much, but let's just say that not all those bonds are welcome. One is forcing her to get into a more intimate relationship with a person she loves platonically. I am quite interested in this one. It remains to be seen how it will be resolved.

So yeah, I find this magic bond part quite interesting. Especially because it seems it's not just our main character that got some unfortunate paring.

And let's add to that, that she is dealing with an abusive drunkard of a father, no money, and some very creepy stalker.

Despite all these dark themes, it seems to me that the story is trying to be hopeful. I feel like after the first part I am still not sure what is this story really going to be about. It could be very good or it could go very bad. ( )
