"Witches' Waves" [Duals and Donovans: The Different Series, Book 4] by Teresa Noelle Roberts (aka Sophie Mouette)

Author's Book Description : The ocean is on their side. But the fight is on land—and it’s about to get dirty.

Duals and Donovans: The Different, Book 4


Long held captive as the Agency’s secret weapon—a blind witch with visions—Meaghan has come to a line she refuses to cross. Rather than betray the infant “child of five bloods” to the Agency’s scientists, she chooses death. Except when she throws herself into the ocean, she doesn’t die. Her repressed water magic comes to life.

When the sodden, delirious witch drifts into Kyle’s arms, his otter dual instincts tell him to get her to the Donovans as fast as possible. Even though one particular surfer-dude Donovan broke his heart.

Declan Donovan continually kicks himself for pushing Kyle away, but his touchy combination of water, earth and lightning magic is too volatile, and Kyle wanted more than Deck was ready to give.

When they come together to help Meaghan control her new magic, it leads the Agency straight to the child of five bloods. They’ll have to dive head-first into total trust—in their magics, in themselves and in each other—to save the child and stop the Agency once and for all.

Warning: Contains an oceanful of sex between an ethereal blind heroine who swears like a pissed-off Marine, an overly serious otter shifter, a would-be beach bum who may be descended from a Norse god, in permutations as fluid as the sea – and themes of abuse and recover.

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars! A woman--who has the power to see the future and has been raised in a facility where they use her and her power for evil--finds out she's dying and finds a way to get to the water with hopes to kill herself. Yet, fate decides to throw her into the arms of two men who change her life for the better. This was the first time I've read a novel from this series, which could be why I felt a bit lost at times, but this novel was standalone enough that you still get to read a full story.

In truth, at the beginning I only liked the scenes that Meaghan was in because everything else seemed to be dragging a bit. As the novel progresses I liked how the plot sped up and the interaction between Kyle, Deck, & Meaghan turned into something that I couldn't stop reading about. Together they make a wonderful combo that balances each other out in ways that where surprising and fun.

In addition, one thing that I loved about this novel was it's main characters' unique abilities! With Deck's massive supply of power yet needing to still maintain enough control as to not kill anyone; to Meaghan's foresight and her growing into the abilities that are no longer dormant; to finding out about Kyle being an otter shifter along with what that means and being both a dom and sub in the bedroom (depending on who he's playing with); it was all very exciting getting to know them!

This novel definitely hooked me for this series, I'm curious to see where it will all go next. I recommend this novel and series to those who like paranormal romances, don't mind reading about light bdsm, and are fans of m/f/m romances too!

Book Teaser(s) :
Great. What Deck was saying made the situation even more hopeless. "So...cosmic power, no knowledge of magical ethics, working entirely on instinct and about a million reasons to be trigger-happy. As if simple decency weren't enough reason to keep my hands off her, there's always not wanting to get killed because I did something stupid." His path was clear. "I need to not touch her. Need to stop wondering what it would be like to be insider her, to have that ocean and amber scent around me as I fuck her...and damn, that's not helping one bit."
Deck laughed. ~ within Chapter 11
"If we live through this, you are so getting spanked," he whispered as he shoved the otter behind him. ~ within Chapter 25
