How Emerald Lakes Began
In 2020, amidst the upheaval of the COVID-19 pandemic, Britt Andrews found herself laid off from her job. Instead of despair, she seized the moment to chase her lifelong dream of becoming an author. What emerged was The Magic of Discovery, the first book in the Emerald Lakes series, which skyrocketed to #1 bestseller status in multiple Amazon categories. Andrews, a self-proclaimed extrovert with a knack for humor, poured her passion for female empowerment and inclusivity into the series, creating a world where strong women and diverse relationships shine.
The Heart of Emerald Lakes
The Emerald Lakes series follows Saige, a green witch who runs a magic shop in the close-knit town of Emerald Lakes, population 682. Her cozy life, filled with eccentric townsfolk and a boy-crazed Gran, takes a wild turn when four mages—Cam, Fischer, Kai, and Sloane—move into the apartment above her shop. In The Magic of Discovery (2020), Saige grapples with unstable powers, a pesky prophecy, and undeniable chemistry with her new tenants. The sequel, The Magic of Betrayal (2020), dives deeper into secrets and heartbreak as Saige encounters a mysterious demon and faces trust issues. The Magic of Revenge (2021) sees her embracing a transformation to seek vengeance, while The Magic of Eternity (2021) wraps up her journey with emotional depth and a hard-earned happy ending.
The series’ charm lies in its blend of paranormal thrills and real-world themes. Andrews tackles issues like depression, body positivity, and past trauma with sensitivity, weaving them into Saige’s growth as a confident, curvy heroine. The reverse harem dynamic, featuring MMFMMM relationships, is handled with care, emphasizing emotional bonds alongside steamy scenes. The small-town setting, reminiscent of Gilmore Girls’ Stars Hollow, grounds the fantastical elements, making every twist feel personal and urgent.
Why Emerald Lakes Resonates
Emerald Lakes has carved a niche in the paranormal romance genre, captivating fans with its inclusive representation and empowering messages.
