I will be 100% transparent here, The cover art for Shadows and Secrets (Book two of The Twisted Fates Series) blew my mind away and I knew I had to read it so I went looking for book one as fast as my fingers could type. 

After finding it on Kindle Unlimited my journey began into this world-bending tale that blends reality and fantasy beautifully. 

Before I get into an actual review (I know that's what you're all here for) I have to talk about two things I can't thank the author enough for, the map (again just beyond beautiful) and the pronunciation guide, I wish more books had both of them, they truly add to the reading experience and I found myself referencing them often. 

I'm not going to say much about the actual story here, because I think you should read it if you're looking for vampires, read it, if you're looking for fantasy that's woven into the threads of reality and vice versa, read it, and if you're looking for a swoon-worthy cast of characters, well you guessed it read it.  

Let's talk about a few things that I absolutely loved. 

Can we just say a vampire that hunts so that everyone else can eat, ohh how my vamp-loving heart went pitter-patter at that one. Found family is something that just makes me smile and root for them, even when I don't particularly trust them all, and lastly the slow-burn romance, oh, it's so good, drawn out just enough to have you holding your breath and biting your bottom lip one second and saying holy hell the next. 

I can't wait to start book two in this series, I know where we left off and let me just say, that Danielle Cancel is a master at making the reader want more.
