About this book

There's a reason no one messes with a grim...

Livvy Savoie is a people person. Not only does she have the magical gift of persuasion, but her natural charisma charms everyone she meets. She hasn’t met a person she didn’t like. Until her annoyingly brilliant competitor walks through the door. No matter how hard she denies it, loathing isn’t the only emotion she feels for him.

Grim reaper Gareth Blackwater is rarely, if ever, moved beyond his broody, stoic state. But the witch he’s partnered with in the public relations contest is destroying his peace of mind. He’s convinced that the flesh-melting attraction he feels for her is merely her witchy magic at work.

But forced proximity proves there is more than magic sparking between them. Livvy learns this enigmatic grim’s abilities are beyond any supernatural she has ever known. And when Livvy becomes the obsessive target of a dangerous warlock, Gareth proves just how powerful he truly is. Because no one is going to hurt his Lavinia.

This book contains descriptions of sexual harassment and attempted sexual assault. Listener discretion is advised.

This series just keeps getting better

I loved, loved witnessing Gareth and Lavinia get to their HEA and thwart another evil doer. Their rivals to lovers tale is filled with all the emotions, the connections and the love. The well crafted words in this delicious story evoked all the feels for me. Expect to laugh, cry, gasp, cheer, grind your teeth, and swoon while reading, especially witnessing Livvy and her love help to heal Gareth’s scars. The story included witty dialogue, three dimensional characters who grow, and an engaging...

Holy Grim this was HOT!

I went crazy this weekend and decided to finish these last 4 books! So alll the reviews are on the way. I didn't realize how much I wanted a Gareth and Livvy situation in my life until I read this. We were teased at the end of book 3 about them being kind of enemies to lovers but then got the image that Gareth had of Livvy in his bed TIED UP! I loved how quickly their romance and more developed. I loved how going into it Gareth had a clue what Livvy meant to him but didn't want to recognize it...

I have loved every book in this series, but this is by far my favorite!

**I was gifted an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.** Hearing Jen from The Book Refuge say that the last bit of this book made her cry should have clued me in... but So. Many. Emotions. I'm getting ahead of myself, though. This is the fourth book in Juliette Cross' STAY A SPELL series and is Livvy's story with her Grim hero, Gareth Blackwater. (We met him in Violet's book, Witches Get Stitches , and got a little preview of the tension between these two.) Now, if you've followed...

LOVED LOVED LOVED!!

Holy. Hot. Grim. I just knew Gareth Blackwater was going to rock my world. To say I was excited to read Gareth’s story is quite the understatement. So dark, so mysterious, and so very delicious. The protectiveness and fierceness and intensity of this sexy grim made all my things zing with happiness. I needed, wanted, craved his story. In true Juliette fashion, this was a well-written story full of characters who are smart, strong, sexy, and so dang lovable. And it was full of passion and love...

Liked, not loved it

July 1, 2022

Iwas waiting for Gareth and Livvy's story because I liked Gareth, but this book felt something like a ping pong game. Livvy was so sure of herself I found her annoying me. Gareth is a very dominant grim. First Livvy hated him, then she kinda like him, then she hated him again, then she was in love with him. Hmm. The Gareth turned into a lovesick teen. I found myself a little confused. The competition was fun, and fortunately, Gareth's darker side came to play and saved the day. We learned more...
