About this book

Raised to be my father’s weapon against the Coven that took away his sister and his birthright, I would do anything to protect my younger brother from suffering the same fate. My duty forces me to the secret town of Crystal Hollow and the prestigious Hollow’s Grove University—where the best and brightest of my kind learn to practice their magic free from human judgment.

There are no whispered words here. No condemnation for the blood that flows through my veins. The only animosity I face comes from the beautiful and infuriating Headmaster, Alaric Grayson Thorne, a man who despises me just as much as I loathe him and everything he stands for.

But that doesn’t mean secrets don’t threaten to tear the school in two. No one talks about the bloody massacre that forced it to close decades prior, only the opportunity it can afford to those fortunate enough to attend.

Because for the first time in fifty years, the Coven will open its wards to the Thirteen: thirteen promising students destined to change the world.

If the ghosts of Hollow’s Groves’ victims don’t kill them first...

The Coven is book one in the Coven of Bones series and ends on a cliffhanger. This is a gothic, dark-academia, paranormal romance and includes elements that may be triggering to some listeners.

Great PNR with Romance Fantasy Feels and FABULOUS ENDING!

April 23, 2023

I finished reading 'The Coven,' Book 1 of Coven of Bones series by Harper L. Woods and it was GREAT 🤩! (I am just a regular reader and not affiliated the author! There are NO spoilers 🙌) This book is getting A LOT of attention lately, so thought I'd give it a shot! It's categorized as a Paranormal Romance, but I personally think it feels like a Romance Fantasy (Fantasy Romance/Romantasy) because of the writing style & worldbuilding. If you love the relationship between Darcy & Orion from ZA,...

The Coven - A Witchy Vampire read

July 15, 2025

✔️ Dark Academia ✔️ Enemies to Lovers ✔️Witches and Vampires (Vessels) This little book put a spell on me because it was supposed to be a buddy read but I finished it before my buddy even got her book. 👀 (As a side note - I think I’m a buddy reading failure, but in my defense this was one of those “one more chapter” books.) This may not be the best written book but it was certainly entertaining. I really enjoyed the backstory of both of the MCs in this one and thought the witch power...

Moody, sensual, Gothic romance

March 17, 2023

From the first paragraphs, The Coven held me spellbound within its pages. A classic Gothic romance, this thrilling tale is everything you want in a darker romance. It's atmospheric, sensual, shrouded in shadows with shades of black and gray. The color coming from flashes of light reflected from the character's eyes, or the spilling of blood across an alabaster throat. The setting itself is as central to the story as the main characters. The story bleeds with suspense, intrigue, revenge, life,...
