Hunted (A Haven Realm Novel)

Little Red Riding Hood. Three Big Bad Wolves. A Poisonous Scheme.

Scarlet, a healer, lives nestled in the forest surrounded by humans on one side and wolves on the other. But when a rogue wolf attacks her, she's rescued by another pack and taken deep into their den to perform her healing magic on an injured Alpha.

The wolves in the forest are under threat from a mysterious affliction, and Scarlet is the only hope they have left. Faced with a mixed pack of threatened shifters, Scarlet must use her wits and magic to survive and unravel the strange affliction now affecting the wolves... All while trying to navigate an overpowering attraction to not just one, but three of the Alphas.

Witches, wolves, magic and love intertwine in an exciting mystery that finds its own, unique, 'Happily Ever After.'

Note: Each book in the Haven Realm series is a standalone book.

Cursed (A Haven Realm Novel)

Beauty and the Four Beasts. A Deadly Curse. A Fallen Kingdom.

With magic banned in the human realm, Bee, a powerful witch, has had to offer her services in secret. When a request to break a curse comes from the dangerous mountains and royal bear shifters, Bee is hesitant, but winter is coming and funds are tight.

At the castle, Bee finds things are not quite what she was led to believe. The curse Bee is meant to break has reached its zenith, siphoning off the Prince's life while preventing him from controlling his shifting abilities. He is volatile, angry, and far stronger than she had imagined. His brothers, who commissioned her, present her with a challenge - fix it, or lose everything.

Soon the curse is spreading throughout the castle, taking brother alike. It's a race against the clock, buffeted by dark magic, intrigue, and a strange attraction that has her looking at the four brothers in a new light.

Note: Each book in the Haven Realm series is a standalone book.

Entangled (A Haven Realm Novel)

Tangles of death, danger, and monsters. Rapunzel and her sexy shifters must escape a witch’s vengeance.

At the age of eight, Elliana lost her father, her future, and her freedom in exchange for eternal captivity. Not to mention unimaginably long hair.

Trapped in a tower by a magical gargoyle, Elliana chances a few daring and ill-fated escapes in search of a powerful, hidden weapon, which could free her and kill the stone creature once and for all. But to do that, she must summon a sly dragon shifter, a ferocious lion shifter with way too much baggage, and a devious tiger shifter. But the witch who hexed her is returning to finish Elliana. Can she save herself and the heroic three shifters she’s slowly losing her heart to before they all die?

Dragons, lions, magical hair and love merge in this heart-wrenching tale that finds its own, unique, 'Happily Ever After.'

My Thoughts

The Haven Realm Boxset is a bindup in the first three books in the Haven Realm series by Mila Young. Each of the books in the Haven Realm series is a standalone set in the same magical world of Haven. I think this is a really cool idea, especially since each of the books is a imagining of a different fairy tale. In the box set we have the stories of Little Red Riding hood, Beauty and the beast, and Rapunzel. For my review today, I am reviewing Scarlet’s story in the box set today, but I have read the first two and am currently reading the third story. They are all a lot of fun. They are each standalone books, but they are on the shorter side. Probably around 200-250 pages each, which is nice because they are longer than novellas, but still on the shorter side, so you can read them very quickly.

Scarlet is an herbalist, and she finds herself in the middle of a wolf attack, which turns into something more sinister and bigger than she expected. I liked that while this was very romance heavy, there was also a villain in the story that was pretty interesting. I am excited to read more books set in this world because I want to see if there is a larger villain or some overlap between what is happening in the stories. Once I was finished reading I was left with a feeling that I wanted a bit more from Scarlet and her wolves. I wanted to see more of them just being. We had plenty of action and adventure, but then the story was mostly over. I want to revisit them and see more from them. Though, I will say that I a lot happened in this story.

The next book in the box set features Scarlet’s friend, Bee. I loved that we already knew the main character as a witch from Scarlet’s story. I won’t get into too many of the specifics but if you are looking for an adult re-imagining of some of your favorite fairy tales, this might be a cool taste of the Haven realm series. The books I have read so far were between a 3 or 4 start read, but I am certainly excited to read them all. I completely love Mila’s other series, the Gods and Monsters series which features gods from Greek Mythology. Those books are a bit longer, so if you would rather mythology than fairy tales, start there! But I love a box set because it allows you to explore a bunch of books in the series to get a taste for them. I do wish all of the books in the Haven Realm series were in the box set, instead of just three. Now I need to buy the others because I did really enjoy Hunted.
