Yes, I’m very sad about that. This is a paranormal romance meets urban fantasy. What’s the difference? The part of the world this story focuses on is that of the paranormal, making it largely a paranormal romance. However, it’s set within the backdrop of our current world where the supernatural live side by side with humans, though they do so in secret, which also makes it an urban fantasy. In this book, you will find monsters of all kinds. This is a monster story featuring demons filled with dark, carnivorous hunger; sea monsters that are anything but harmless mermaids; aerial monsters that bring about storms of gargantuan proportions; elemental monsters that can manipulate the earth into beasts; storm monsters that are the embodiment of natural disasters; and much, much more. There are murderous organizations in this story. Those set on exterminating monsters as they see them as abominations. There are moments of torture, extreme fear, immense pain, abduction, and murder. This story specifically takes a look at bonding with new lovers (a lot of them) set on the backdrop of our main female lead feeling self-made guilt over the murder of her sister by the Division of Silence. Please note that this story is told equally from the female lead, Hadley, and a male lead, Bronte. That means this story is going to be equally mm and mf/mfm/mmf/etc. This is not strictly Hadley’s story but a story of family growth, bonding, and love. As well as loss, grief, pain, and fear. This series has a lot of characters to try and keep track of. For your convenience, family unit diagrams can be found on my website. This is a polyamorous romance, a whychoose reverse harem that isn’t revolving around a single female who gets all the males’ attention. There are other relationships that are just as important as those between the men and the single female, and all are featured. If anything that you just read bothers you, it isn’t what you’re interested in, or you find might be triggering, please do not read this book. Otherwise, enjoy Hadley and Bronte’s story of family, friendship, and revenge. Note Bronte Disappointment sits like a ball of lead in my stomach. I stare at the frozen bouquet for what feels like the hundredth time. It’s probably more like the thousandth, though. The flowers themselves are a happy memory of when the Wyns finally matched with their wife and completed their family. It also symbolizes that we should be next. But every day, I assist people in finding their harems while we still remain one short. I know it’s our wife we’re missing. Because we’re quite full on dick. Storms come together quickly and in big numbers, building off the energy of other storm cells. Storm monsters are the same and we tend to have big families. It took us less than five years to become a harem of eleven men. Even if we weren’t heavy on the man side, we know that the last piece is a wife. This family grew rapidly in droves, and now we’ve been stalled out for eight years. I was so sure that Obry was supposed to be ours. So stupidly sure. I’d even gone so far as to rudely suggest it when the Aves had a gathering shortly after her arrival. I’ve since apologized to Idris because that behavior is unacceptable. I should be happy for them. And I was. But I was also jealous and frustrated. It wasn’t that we were lacking anything by any means. We are whole and happy. There’s no tension or bitterness. Besides me, there’s not even a lot of impatience. I’m probably the only one who desperately wants to find our wife. Not that my husbands don’t also, but they’re content to wait. Why am I different? Because every day without her is one less we’ll get to spend with her. Storms live a long time, but not forever. I just don’t want to miss time with her. With us being undoubtedly complete. Sighing, I gently touch one of the frozen petals. Barely a brush of my fingers since I don’t want to shatter them in the extreme cold. And then I leave the freezer. Our house is enormous. With eleven men, it needs to be. There are four floors, twelve bedrooms, and I lost count of how many bathrooms. Hell, I
