About this book

Death. Undeath. Life. The boundaries are beginning to blur.

For five hundred years, I believed everyone involved in my murder was dead.

I was wrong.

As the Librarian, I prided myself on remaining impartial in a world of quibbling arcanists, and watched wistfully as everyone around me got on with the business of living. I contented myself with living through my books, wishing I could remember what it felt like to be touched. To feel.

Then they came.

Six heirs who wouldn't stay away. They dragged me from my solitude and brought joy back to the Arcanaeum.

I should've known that would come at a cost…

Arcanist is the second book in a new paranormal why choose/ reverse harem series. Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website. Narrated in duet style.

Eagerly anticipated

Genuinely one of my most anticipated books for the year that I sped through within 24 hours. Loved we got to see Kyrie still smart and kicking butt, but in this book she gets to explore more emotional connections when in the past she’s had to stay so separate from her library patrons. No spoilers, but that cliffhanger was ROUGH and had me yelling aloud in despair that I have to wait probably another year for the final book. But I’ve already got a reminder in my calendar, so that should say...

agree with another reviewer, great story but unknown cliffhanger

January 4, 2026

I hate to take a star off for something that may be publisher related versus the authors story but it really bummed me out. This book is not a 2 out of 2 book…it’s likely a trilogy? Or more? I would not have read this book with such fever if I didn’t think it was a duology. I started to get concerned the further we went along that things weren’t wrapping up. Then BAM, massive surprise cliffhanger. And no third (or more) book dates set yet. I would have waited until the series was complete if I...

Wow!!

So many twists and turns. I don’t even know what to say other than it was amazing. I’m really looking forward to the next book. )
