Society of Wishes (Wish Quartet Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Elise Kova (Author), Lynn Larsh (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.0 out of 5 stars 327 ratings

With a few taps of the keyboard, I can hack into anything, make a wad of cash, and call it a day. That’s all this job was supposed to be. But, life has a way of throwing me curveballs.

One government raid on my base of operations later and I’m using ancient magic to summon impossibly hot men to save my best friend. Didn’t see that coming.

But every wish has its cost… So here I am, the newest tech-savvy recruit in the Society of Wishes, where magic is the norm and devastatingly handsome leaders, like Mr. Tall, Pale, and Brooding—Snow—are part of the deal. There’s no getting out of this bind. But I suppose there are worse people to be stuck with…

My money problems might be gone but my magic problems are just starting. One wrong move, and I might end up unraveling the very fabric of the world.

For fans of magic, alternate realities, steamy soulmates, forgotten gods, and slow-burn twisty surprises... prepare to be kept guessing about the Society of Wishes right up until the very end.

a must read!
I received a copy of this for an honest review!! Okay so I put this on my the in JANUARY and I am so mad that I waited thinking to read it! There is definitely a sense that this book is to set up the next. The plot is very... Up in the air, but I don't mind because it just left me wanting more. Beautifully written, a MC that I connected with very much, and a fantastical world that I just want to devour. ...that's not weird, right? I am desperate to get into the next book. I need answers!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Not your average hero's journey
    Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2018
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I actually finished this book a week ago, but I needed to fully digest it before I wrote a review. I am a fan of Elise Kova's works so I thought I had a good idea of what to expect with this book. I was wrong and I don't think the fact that it was co-authored is why.
    This book is different. I've come to expect certain things in the stories I read. About halfway through I realised I wasn't going to be seeing those things, and I realised I was totally ok with that. This book is about a journey. It's not the traditional call to adventure go off and find your destiny journey. The heroine does seek to prove herself, but there is no looming "bad guy" and the obstacles are not necessarily a question of skill, but of discovery. Jo knows who she is, she just doesn't know how that person fits into the new world she's found herself in.
    The urban fantasy elements are handled well, avoiding long dumps of exposition which can be difficult when dealing with the type of world that is being built.
    There were a few times I grew frustrated with Jo's choices and actions, and found myself arguing at the pages like one would yell at the tv. Anything that elicits that sort of investment is certainly worth five stars in my book.
    I, for one, am looking forward to more.

    4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting new world
    Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2018
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Rating: 4 Stars

    The age old saying is be careful what you wish for. Well Josephina 'Jo' is a hacker-for-hire in a very different reality than we know, a fractured US. Then one day on a job her best friend and her are caught and as bullets rain down she uses her last breathe to make a wish, something she remembered from her grandmother in days past. Her wish is simple enough to save her friend and she will accept the price no matter the cost. The cost, she is now a member of the mysterious Society of Wishes set to live among the other members in a separate time space and use her gifts to help grant future wishes. Though she is given the plush new digs and can do pretty much anything her new home lacks one major aspect…freedom and purpose. Checking in on her friend to ensure her wish was put to good use she finds him about to attempt the same task that got them both killed to start with. Now what do you do when interfering is against the rules?

    This was a quick read for sure and I did really enjoy the concept. A magical society that grants wishes that alter the reality. I loved the idea of them being from all different worlds and time periods and each with their own power. The way they live is rather unique and we are only just getting to know a few of them as Jo learns her place and tries to accept her new reality. This book is more about her than anything else. There isn’t some big bad guy / evil to face down just a new reality to accept that basically tears apart everything you knew in the world.

    We are still getting to know this world but this was a good start. I can see the start of some much bigger questions and I look forward to watching unfold. The characters have peeked my interest and I look forward to learning more about the other members of the society and the society as a whole. Thankfully the sequel, Circle of Ashes, comes out next week April 9th so I won’t have to wait long.

    3.0 out of 5 stars A grim future where the cost of magic & wishes is revealed.
    Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2018
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    The start of Society of Wishes is pretty funny. Elise and Lynn have a knack for humorous lines, such as the opening one, and interactions, as between main character Jo and her friend Yuusuke.

    "It was hotter than Satan's tit outside..."

    The transition from Jo's ordinary life to her Society of Wishes life actually came across as abrupt for my taste. Her use of magic that turns out to be real, even as she claimed in her mind that she didn't believe it would work, felt strange, like she would have had to at least had a more present if slight belief before even attempting this sort of thing.

    Meeting the rest of the Society was interesting, considering they come from different time periods. Snow, the leader, reminded me of the hero of an anime, from his white hair to his attitude. Wayne, a New York type from the early 20th century, was such an aggravating character that I wanted to kick him in the shins whenever he talked, though I'll admit he did grow on me.

    Jo, while confronting the newness of her life as a member of the Society, was a lot braver than I would've been. Her background in hacking, avoiding detection, and generally being smarter than the average person helped her cope with the headquarters weirdness, avoiding Ranger officers (they couldn't see her anyway but still!), and learning about her new life.

    The (I hesitate to say romance) intimate moments in this book felt like they came a bit out of nowhere. Jo and her feelings toward Snow, her intimacy with Wayne...I could see her acknowledging attraction to one or more of the people she meets, but the sex scene in Paris, while admittedly well written, was abrupt and I didn't care for it.

    The action of the book felt like it took a lot longer to get started than I would've liked. The first 48% of the book was mostly Jo acclimating to living in the Society headquarters, almost every detail gone over such as whose room is where, what the mansion provides in the recreation rooms vs. the bedrooms, and so on. Things started picking up around the 50% point and got a bit better, but things still felt like they were crawling a bit.

    After finishing the novel and considering the pacing and the lack of engagement I felt with the characters and the story, I realized that, as long as it was, not a lot really happened. The difficulties that arose felt less than climatic so there was no real "big bad" or "villain", so to speak. That disappointed me.

    I can see a lot of potential for development in the course of the series. Society of Wishes, to me, was obviously an introductory novel to the world and its rules as opposed to a novel that embraced the story and went onward, revealing things as the narrative unfolds.

    If you are already a fan of Elise Kova, you will love this delicious new book she has written with Lynn Larsh. And if not you soon will be!
    An interesting concept regarding the granting and making of Wishes were woven into a magical intriguing story . This is the first of the series , so the book is busy with becoming acquainted with all the characters and i cannot want to see what develops between Jo and Snow!

    It hurts my soul to write this as I am a massive Elise Kova fan but this book was so boring and honestly made no sense. The typos in my print copy aside...nothing is explained. There's no character development. The magic was incredibly underwhelming. The writing was straight up awkward in several large chunks. I had to keep rereading whole pages to understand what was happening. I won't continue this series but I'll keep an eye out for her next stuff.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Addictive original story
    Reviewed in Australia on January 29, 2018
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Fans of Elise Kova will rejoice!!!! She’s back with a fresh new series, a co - author that seems to fit perfectly and a story that is both original and addictive.
    I went in blind when I started this and for me that was probably best. It is different to her other works and initially I wasn’t sure if it was for me, but there came a point - somewhere beyond chapters 10-13ish - where I just couldn’t stop reading and I ended up finishing the book in a day.
    Sorry neglected house and people.
    There was a hint of romance, some sexy times and some very interesting complex characters whom we are getting to know - often i found these just as interesting as our lead.
    Hoping that our hinted at love interest progresses with the next books - i feel this would be epic!
    All four books will be realised in 2018 which is a huge plus also - love that and feel ill probably be hanging waiting for each one!
    Definitely recommended!!!!!
