The cover of this book might be my favorite of this series. I really love the wings, they are so mesmerizing and realistic! I was therefore quite excited to read this story, hoping that the characters and plot would be as amazing as the cover. Last week my arc landed in my mailbox and it's that I wanted to save the book for a workday, because usually I can read those within a day even when I have to work, else I would have started it right away.
The first thing I want to mention is the writing style. Isaac has a wonderful writing style. She uses the right amount of descriptions, balanced with very natural dialogues. Not only her characters are therefore quite vivid, so is everything else. I could almost feel the sand and mud between my toes and I could really see the spirits of the trees. The story really came to life, both in my heart and soul and in my head.
I also really enjoyed the plot in this book. Maybe it wasn't too big or spectacular, but it made sure our characters had a lovely character arc. It also really fitted our heroine's personality. It almost felt as if the plot, the story about the ancient tree and the spirit in it, was a part of our heroine. And although there are some really sad moments I ended the book with a huge smile on my face and a really warm feeling in my heart.
That's also because of the characters. I have to admit that I would have loved to get to know the guys a little better. Adding their point of view would have helped me to understand and like them better. However, in their interactions and conversations with our heroine they seemed like a perfect fit for her. Especially because they weren't perfect. They had a little edge, some hidden layer. I will for sure check out every other book this author will write in the future.

This epic edition in the world of the moonlit fall is one of the best so far I love Aggie so much and all her mates especially Marcus who comes across as a bit of an A$$ but underneath it all is a misunderstood sweety.
When aggies magic has a mishap she needs to find a way to fix it before the wards hiding the magical beings of silver springs are revealed to the humans, with the help of her new mates she manages to fix the problem with some very surprising outcomes.

This was such a fun one. I've read about faes living in Silver Springs/Moonlit Falls, but never a sprite. Aggy was such a fantastic addition to this world. The guys may had clashing personalities, but made it work. Plus, it is always fun when a human lives among the supes. What an incredible story!

It was a cute story and had some interesting lore/attributes to the setting, but I can't say it's one I read for the joy of it. I read it for curiosity's sake, but probably too cutesy for my tastes.
Some important notes that bear mentioning: first, reviews are highly subjective, including mine. My opinion is meant to give an overview of what I saw/felt when I read it. What I see might not be what you see, and what I don't like might be what you enjoy, which is just fine. My advice to anyone looking into a book? Read the premise, and if it interests you enough, give it a chance and form your own opinion.

I've been looking forward to Agate's book and it was as great as I thought It would be. These characters are so great to read.

Among all the books I read in the Silver Springs universe, this book is definitely the best one.
What I loved especially was how Aggy, Erich, Nate and Marcus didn't fall in love (and in bed) with each other right away just because of the mate bond. They actually started by getting to know each other. Moreover, I really appreciated how the author made Erich (the human) freak out when he finds out about the supernatural world.
I was kindly provided with an ARC by the author, but I'm leaving a voluntary and honest review.

This one made my inner green witch sing, lol. I love that Agate is an Earth Sprite and the overall storyline! This addition to the Moonlit Falls collection wasn’t quite a steamy as the others, it was more plot forward, which is okay! But I wasn’t expecting it after reading the much steamier prequel lol. I know Twisted Fates was written after Moonlit Agate was, so it’s possible the author was still finding her sea legs in the smut world! It was a very enjoyable read though, I inhaled it in a few short hours after reading Twisted Fates. I really enjoyed Katherine Isaac’s humor and writing style and I will definitely look for more of her work in the future ☺️
