Description

Destiny is only the beginning…

There might be a devastating power awakening inside Aleena, but that won’t stop her from protecting the hot couple living in the woods. She might also be a ghost sporting a massive crush on them, but that won’t stop her either. Frankly, with a mouthwateringly gorgeous werewolf and stunning smart-mouth healer going at it like rabbits, who can really blame her?

Figures they’d end up being prophesied to save the world. Phantoms just can’t have nice things. When a sinfully flirty mage joins them as their fellow saviour, the puzzle pieces finally start to fall in place as they embark on their quest.

There’s just one problem. Aleena doesn’t know where she fits.

Only one thing is for certain. The magic exploding inside her? It’s out for blood.

Aleena is all too willing to oblige.

Anything for them.


Note: This is a “why choose” story, meaning the main character will not choose between their love interests. This is also slowburn queer fantasy romance. All content warnings can be found in the foreword of the book or on the author’s website.

Featured Reviews

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

This was a fun read! Each character was so different whether it be because of their magic or that’s just how they are, but all 4 of them were very interesting. I loved seeing all four perspectives and looking into their past and how it created who we see at the beginning vs. the end. I went into this thinking it was going to be a stand-alone, but I do really need the sequel right now. That cliffhanger!!

I don’t read low/urban fantasy often, but I EAT it up every time and this was no different. From ghosts to werewolves to different types of fairies and high tech sexy cars, this book was a ride.. I loved the pacing as we got closer to the ending. The climax was so well done in that it didn’t feel to rushed or drawn out. A lot happened and there was a lot to take in, but it moved at fairly fast pace.

I absolutely adored Aleena! She was so sweet and soft, but she was also so badass and incredibly strong.. I loved her and Persy so much. From their tension to their friendship to everything in between, they were amazing. I loved how Aleena was the first to admit to herself that she had feelings for all of them and it was like ‘oh… oh well.’ I loved her relationship with Varian (LOML!!), he just always immediately understood her so well, and Persy and I’m so excited to see her with Max too! Same with all the other characters! I loved Varian and Max, and I’m very excited to see them with Persy. Persy and Varian have such an amazing banter, which I’m excited to see more of..

Would totally recommend to a friend!

Thank you, Zahlia Amin, for allowing me to read Apparition early!

Honestly, this book surprised me. In a good way. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did and I'll look forward to the next book.

This book sucked me in very quickly. The characters were super enjoyable. It was like hanging out with friends. The plot was very mysterious and I didn’t see any of the twists coming. It was very good and thrilling. I would definitely read many times again

One of the most interesting book I've read so far this year. A pleasure the whole time. Slow at times, which gives me more time with the darling cast. That I'm dying to see grow closer.

An addicting page-turner with lively characters and refreshingly comedic interactions. A quick read, if only because you'll be unable to set it down.

Thank you NetGalley and victory editing for providing me this e-ARC.

This book intrigued me right away from the cover and roped me in by the description but I wasn’t even remotely prepared for the goodness of the story.
Aleena is a ghost who watches over two people she’s come to love dearly, Max and Persy. There’s ghosts, mages, werewolves, and spells. I enjoy interspecies stories like this one and I was here for the ride.

It’s a little slow burning, I wish there was a little more spice, but there’s more books to come that I plan to pick up!

What a fun book! There was so much more plot than I expected there to be. The magical system was well-done and obviously thought through. The characters were each unique and I love seeing a story where polyamory is normal and seen as a genuine solution! Thanks!
