Who would have thought that Charlie Holmberg could single-handedly convert me into a massive fan of "monster" tropes within the realm of romance? With "The Will and the Wilds,"she has continued to do just that. From the very first page of this book, Charlie draws readers into a mesmerizing tapestry of enchantment, danger, and heart-pounding romance. Through her expert storytelling, she breathes life into characters that are both mythical and achingly human, weaving a narrative that is as compelling as it is unconventional. It's a love story that defies expectations and challenges the boundaries of what it means to truly connect with another being. But it's not just the romance that shines. As in each of her other books, Holmberg's world-building is equally impressive, transporting readers to a vividly imagined realm filled with magic, intrigue, and untold secrets. Truthfully, I left this book wanting more stories from each of these characters. Definitely worth a spot on any fantasy/romance reader’s TBR!

Intriguing story. New fantasy creatures, another world, dashed with romance and a lil humor!

This is my fifth review of a book by Ms. Holmberg, but I think I’ve actually read everything she’s published! She never lets me down, I know just what I’m going to get from her. She always writes a great plucky young heroine, a mysteriously romantic leading man and a truly imaginative magical setting. Her books are easy to read and you’re sucked into her stories from page one.
Enna is an excellent character, a young woman who is clever, loyal and bright She is an intellectual in a society that frowns on women being educated but is unwilling to give up her dream of researching and mapping out the ways of mystings. She desires to more fully understand the world around her. She’s my favorite thing about this book, but then no surprise, I’m such a sucker for main character who is a nerdy girl. But things aren’t so easy because the world of mystings is complicated and dangerous.
"Enna knows to fear the mystings that roam the wildwood near her home. When one tries to kill her to obtain an enchanted stone, Enna takes a huge risk: fighting back with a mysting of her own.
Maekallus’s help isn’t free. His price? A kiss. One with the power to steal her soul. – Goodreads"
If you’re looking for fantasy, here it is.
If you’re looking for romance, here it is.
If you’re looking for a great book to read over the weekend with a cup of tea/coffee/cocoa, here it is.
You can’t go wrong with this one. I fully recommend it.
