Serafina De Umbra is a powerful witch balancing the chaotic demands of single motherhood with the looming shadow of her daughter’s fifteenth birthday. In her world, this milestone marks the age of ascension, a dangerous time when young girls must harness their burgeoning dark powers. When a terrifying supernatural attack rocks her daughter’s school, Serafina is thrust into a hidden war that threatens to consume everything she holds dear.
Enter Joaquin Santos, a mysterious Gothic English teacher who is far more than he appears. As a Scribe for the Demon Realm, Joaquin has spent his life monitoring the shadows, but he never expected to encounter a woman who could stir both his duty and his deepest, hungriest desires. Their paths collide amidst the wreckage of the haunting, sparking an undeniable attraction that bridges the gap between the witch and the demon.
This gripping paranormal romance masterfully blends high-stakes academy tension with the chilling allure of hell-realms. While the mystery of the hauntings builds to a fever pitch, the slow-burn connection between Serafina and Joaquin provides an electric heart to the story. Perfect for readers who crave fierce heroines, protective anti-heroes, and supernatural secrets that refuse to stay buried, this is an essential addition to your bookshelf.

I love all of Gracie Cooper's books, but I think this is my favorite!!! Serafina is a powerful witch and single mom raising her daughter with the help of her family. When she receives a call about her daughter from her teacher she knows things will be changing for them. What she didn't expect was to meet the sexy teacher Mr. Joaquin Santos. When hs says he needs to knock the sass out of her 😅.. has been lied to by to people she should trust beyond all others, her parents... Serafina and...

I love how Serafina is protective over her daughter and her heart. I love how it's a subtle romance, where the main focus isn't the romance but the story in itself. I love how their relationship blooms. The recliner scene is on point. )

This story is about Serafina, a member of the Umbra coven, her daughter Alma, her chaotic family of witches, and Joaquin. While this story is meant to be focused on Serafina, I felt that I was more drawn to the story of Joaquin. He’s amazing with Alma, puts up with Serafina’s moody family, & is fiercely protective of his girls! I can’t wait to read more from this series. )

Such a good story and follow up to Josefina, where it left you hanging a bit at the end, it closed out nicely in this one. Loved Serafina's POV and the MMC Joaquin aka Mr. Santos, yes please! Even the side character Moises was so fun you wanted more of him. Strong female characters too! Definitely read! )

I’ll be honest, I was a bit hesitant to read this because of how much I loved the first book. But if you’re looking at the five stars above, it DID NOT disappoint.

Serafina, a witch in the Umbra Coven, will do anything to protect her daughter, Alma. Even if it means going against her elders. Joaquin comes along with a...
