A witch outrunning her past. Five smoldering-hot guardians. And the dark secret that could destroy them all…

Blackmoon Bay is a city of monsters. Surviving here means never leaving home without a sharp stake. It means keeping secrets, even from friends. And unless I want the Hunters finding me again, it means my witchcraft stays on permanent lockdown.

Good policy—until the night I accidentally resurrect a dead girl, rekindling my magic and drawing the Bay’s most dangerous men to my doorstep.

Asher, the bad-boy incubus. Darius, the cunning, oh-so-sexy vampire. Emilio, the wolf shifter with a big heart and a treacherous past. Ronan, the only demon I trust with my soul. And Death himself, bound to my magic for reasons I don’t understand.

Together, they’ve sworn to protect me from the evil out there, but it’s not the evil out there I’m worried about. A shadow lurks inside me, as black and deadly as a bomb. And I’m pretty sure my magical mishap just lit the fuse.

I’m Gray Desario. Witch. Survivor. Occasional bringer of chaos. And tonight? The darkness is coming…

SHADOW KISSED is the first book in The Witch’s Rebels, a steamy paranormal romance and urban fantasy series featuring five smoldering-hot guys and the kickass witch they’d kill to protect. If you like sexy forbidden romance, dark magic, and heart-pounding supernatural suspense, this witchy adventure will leave you spellbound.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Sarah Piper is a Kindle All-Star winning urban fantasy and paranormal romance author. Through her signature brew of dark magic, heart-pounding suspense, and steamy romance, Sarah promises a sexy, supernatural escape into a world where the magic is real, the monsters are sinfully hot, and the witches always get their magically-ever-afters.

Her works include the newly released Vampire Royals of New York series, the Tarot Academy series, and The Witch’s Rebels, a fan-favorite reverse harem urban fantasy series readers have dubbed “super sexy,” “imaginative and original,” “off-the-walls good,” and “delightfully wicked in the best ways,” a quote Sarah hopes will appear on her tombstone.

Originally from New York, Sarah now makes her home in northern Colorado with her husband (though that changes frequently) (the location, not the husband), where she spends her days sleeping like a vampire and her nights writing books, casting spells, gazing at the moon, playing with her ever-expanding collection of Tarot cards, binge-watching Supernatural (Team Dean!), and obsessing over the best way to brew a cup of tea.

Witchy magic, romance, and mystery

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2018

Verified Purchase

I hate trying to summarize a book I've read with a headline, so I apologize because this headline doesn't do the book justice! There's so much more going on beneath, behind, and above the primary story line. Ultimately, a young witch in hiding must confront her past and bravely take on an unknown future, with a heartbreaking loss hanging over her head. The men are there, and the heat and attraction are undeniable, but the author built this world around a woman, and stayed true to her struggles and story throughout. Mysterious and suspicious deaths dominate the MC'S mind, but, underneath it is a woman learning to accept and love who she really is inside. I loved the support of her love interests and, also, her eventual acknowledgement of their potential. The story has everything I could ever want. A strong and powerful female, a supportive, and strong, cast of men, a tense and action packed storyline, and growth in the characters throughout. I love that the author seemlessly wove my favorite parts of urban fantasy, and mystery, into the realm of romance and reverse harem dreams. It's all my best birthday wishes in one. I am beyond thrilled and so excited to read more from this author! Please don't hesitate to read it today! You may get more than you could ever dream!

FIVE STARS *POSSIBLE SPOILERS*

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2018

Verified Purchase

I absolutely loved this book! I honestly can’t think of anything wrong with it. All of the characters were likable & intriguing. I’m personally in love with Darius, Liam & Asher. Darius is a smooth, domineering vampire, Liam is Death & Asher is an incubus with a dark past. You can’t go wrong with a handsome vampire or a hot demon. I’ve never read a book with Death as a love interest, but I can’t wait to see his & Gray’s relationship develop.

Of course, there are two other handsome, swoon-worthy men, Ronan & Emilio. Ronan is another sexy demon & Gray’s oldest friend. He has some secrets of his own & he fights his feelings for Gray because of them. Emilio is a hunky, sweet-as-sugar werewolf detective. He & Gray don’t spend a lot of time together, but that’ll change in later books, I’m sure. As far as romantic relationships go, this book focuses mostly on Ronan & Gray, with a good amount of Darius & Gray mixed in with a dash of Asher & Gray for even more hot & spicy yummy flavor.

Editing wise, there was maybe only one mistake. The grammar & spelling was great, which is hard to find in a lot of books. One thing I especially liked about the book was the author didn’t use any derogatory terms for the female anatomy. It was very refreshing.

This book is absolutely amazing. I can’t remember if this book was available for Kindle Unlimited when I came across this book, but if it was, I still would have pirchased it after reading it. It’s definitely worth another read or two, & any fan of the genre should have this book in their library. I can’t remember the last time I’ve loved a book so much & been this excited for its sequels.

It looked promising - disappointed.

Ugh! DON'T.

I don't know who is giving this book 3-5 stars. The main character "supposedly" knows how to fight but can't protect herself AND keeps passing out during stressful situations. I gave it one star only due to the guys in the book.
Too bad the cover looked promising.

I was definitely hooked 🪝 from the start! Can’t get enough! I loved Gray aka Rayanne! This first book in the series will consume you! I love the mystery of Gray’s past and magic, the anticipation was high!
I love 💕 each of the guys! Each one is special in his own way and quickly have stolen my heart 💜. This book is fast paced especially if you like supernatural stories..

It's a must read and if you are interested or enjoy Tarot ~ there is a huge bonus, which I loved 🥰 take out a paper 📄 😂and pen 🖊 😂because the author loves tarot cards and you can see it throughout the book and it’s a huge aid in the story. But we’re not just told the predictions, they are analyzed and thoroughly explained.

I can’t wait to start the next book, after this review..
I definitely recommend this book 📕…

This book takes whatever you think you know about the paranormal world and tosses it out the window.

Hold tight for a thrilling ride that isn't short of hot and soulful moments either. This was a new release when I first read it, and I've just reread it in preparation for devouring the entire six books. Or more if more are coming.

I. Cannot. Wait!

Surprisingly good.

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2019

Okay, so...I sort of went into this feeling like I wasn't going to like it (yeah, I don't know why either) but my mind was blown. I actually really do like it. Ergo, obviously my vibes need to recheck themselves. I really liked how the story started off with a flash to the future. It gave it a bit of tension that I only ever really see in movies and that was cool. I liked the characters. D is my favorite. Then, Asher, because who doesn't love an incubus? So, if you're on the fence, go ahead and buy it, because yeah...it's good.

Highly anticipating book 2!

Wow! This story was great. I wasn't entirely sure what to expect considering the cast was quite a mix of "bad guys", but I loved everything. I like a bit of dark in some books and this one was perfect. I adore witches, but add in a vampire, a shifter and a couple demons and I was hooked. I can't wait to get my hands on book 2!!!

I really enjoyed listening to this book! I've spent my weekend engrossed! I even had it playing on the radio driving around doing errands. I just needed to know what happened next.
Oh, I can't hardly wait to find out how Gray's relationship unfolds with Death, aka Liam! I really hope we find out in book two!
This is the first book I've read by Sarah Piper and I'm so happy I chose to do so.

A Slow Start to an Interesting New Series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 19, 2019

Verified Purchase

I used Whispersync to both read this book and listen to it on Audible, which colours my review.

It took me a while to warm to this book and I think it might have been to do with the narrators. I just didn’t warm to them, sadly. They did a good job and their accents and character differences were good, but there was some quality to their voices that just didn’t quite click for me.

The book is about Gray, a witch in hiding. She lives on the fringes of the supernatural world without being engaged in it. She suppresses her desire to do magic after witnessing a loved one die at the hands of Hunters. She knows that Hunters will do anything in their power to kill all witches, so her only chance of avoiding death is by not performing magic and pretending to be purely human.

Gray lives with her best friend Sophie, who is also a witch who doesn’t practice, or a least that’s what Gray thinks, until Sophie reveals that she is thinking about joining the local coven. This is the start of Gray contemplating the role of magic in her life once more. Her other best friend Ronan is a demon, who has been Gray’s protector for as long as she has been in Blackmoon Bay. As she starts along a difficult path, Ronan tries his best to protect her once more, helped by his friends; Darius, a vampire, Emilio a werewolf and police detective and reluctantly by Asher another demon. When Death himself shows up to help, Gray has no idea how her life has changed so drastically in such a short space of time, and doesn’t know what to do about her complicated relationship with magic.

This Reverse Harem has a slow start as characters, histories and world building is established, but it is an interesting slow start. Things happen and the build of tempo is gradual but insistent, pulling the reader on to find out what happens next. It’s not a determined yank on the reader, but it is a gentle tug and that is what kept me reading. I will definitely be picking up the next book in the series, but I’ll probably just buy the Kindle version, because despite the slow start, I really want to know what happens to Gray and her supernatural men.

A Reverse Harem Done Right!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 26, 2018

Verified Purchase

I loved the plot to this book, and the steamy romance that ensues. The only reason this doesn't get a five star from me is because it needs a proofread. The ebook copy I bought has a few errors, including some backwards quotation marks. If I received this as a paperback, I probably would have been a little more disappointed by it, but since I only spent £3.50 on the ebook, it's not too much of a problem. Also, it's all minor stuff, it doesn't interrupt the flow of reading, and is only occasional.

My other issue is that this book is a little misleading in its titled genre. It's not a paranormal romance, it's a reverse harem paranormal fantasy, perhaps urban fantasy. A paranormal romance is something where the romance is the plot, but the actual plot to this has nothing to do with the reverse harem romance going on (well, it's a little linked). So I personally believe a change in genre would be more beneficial to the book.

This was my first step into reverse harem romance, and I loved it. Not usually a lover a erotic scenes, but gave it a go anyway, and was pleasantly surprised at how well the author handles the erotic scenes in this book. They're tasteful, well-written, and she does not create a love pentagon at all. I'm on the second book now and am happy with the consensualism presented in this book. I often get frustrated at the romanticising of cheating and affairs in romance stories that seem to have peppered the market, but this is not one of those. And that is amazing and refreshing to read.

Cannot wait to continue reading the series to find out more!

I wanted to really love this book! The story itself is really interesting but the characters... I found the main female lead a let down, she gets herself into trouble with no way of getting out, except when the guys come in to save her, she is meant to have training from a demon in how to fight and I gotta say I was really disappointed in the fight scenes! The first scene in the book is her facing of a human guy to save a runaway girl and in the end he runs away cause he is afraid of the police coming at him for murder not because she has kicked his ass, and she is meant to be facing of against witches, demons, hellhounds and vampires!? There also seems to be for me alot of narrative the isn't needed and didn't contribute to the story, I also feel being the first book the story should have only featured Greys point of view first and then as you learn more about the guys from her point of view and they are all introduced to her and you then int he next book your more invested in looking at their point of views. The hunters I liked them as a good bad guy and clearly this book is gearing up for a big confrontation with then, but I didn't like that you learned in the last couple of pages of the book that hunters were mages stripped of their abilities and that made them mad( as in crazy) cause all the way through the book till then you were given the impression that they were human and just had their ways of tracking magic, I don't know for me there was alot that could have been better with this book and I won't be continuing with the series

I really didn't want this series to end it was a rollercoaster of sorts. Gray is a fabulous character full of quirks and insecurities but a massive heart full of courage. Her men, if you put all their qualities together in one body you would have the perfect package. In a world full of fantastic creatures, fae and witchery Gray and all the other characters face personal upheavals and battles as well as trying to save their home and the world. A truly enjoyable series with some graphic content but a lot of heart. Would definitely recommend.

I absolutely adore this book. It drew me in from the very beginning.
Grey is a very intriguing MC, suppressing her magic and getting by in the human world to hide herself isn't something I've read as an RH before, nut Piper does it brilliantly. I love the mix of supernaturals that make Greys harem. I'm pretty sure I'm in love with them all already. The plot is captivating and will leave you needing more! I'm dying to know what will happen next in such a very promising series!
