About this book
The stakes have never been higher for the residents of Ivy House. As the beloved crew finds themselves fractured and fighting on multiple fronts, the series hits a pulse-pounding stride that proves why it remains the gold standard of paranormal romance. Jessie is tasked with rallying a volatile collection of shifters, but keeping her chaotic found-family in line is a losing battle—especially when the threat from the ruthless mage Momar looms closer than ever.
While Jessie navigates the political minefield of alpha politics, Sebastian and Nessa face a harrowing reality check. Isolated and dangerously exposed, they are forced to confront an enemy far more cunning than they anticipated. This installment masterfully blends the high-stakes tension of dark romance with the sharp, witty banter that fans have come to adore. The enemies-to-lovers undercurrents and shifting alliances add layers of intensity that make it impossible to put down.
If you have been searching for a series that perfectly balances humor, heart, and supernatural grit, this is your sign to dive in. Eleven books deep, the world-building remains as addictive as ever, delivering a homecoming that feels both fresh and deeply satisfying. Prepare to be held in a total chokehold until the very last page.

In my opinion, the Leveling Up series is one of the absolute best of any midlife magic series & I've read ALOT of them! This book, again, does not disappoint. The story continues along a natural arc, but is always fresh & interesting. The humor aspect adds so much to my enjoyment in reading this series, I'm always waiting anxiously for the next one! Highly recommend if you love supernatural creatures, magic, romance, quirky characters, humor & intrigue. It's a delicious combination. )

This is one of those series that makes you laugh, make you cry, and make you dream. The kind that will hurt when it is over because you will miss the characters so much. And this book does that series justice. The action gets your heart beating, the character interaction leaves you laughing and sighing in turns. You feel Jessie\"s motherly frustration with her ultra powerful brood of misfits at the same time you feel her love and pride in them. And you definitely feel that any one of them would...
