Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night by Kresley Cole
5.0
4.5 stars
I'm slowly rereading this series with Ruby @ Bookishly Ruby. You should check her review here. I was dreading this book since I was dreading the whole trope of hero loosing his mate and comparing heroine to the old one. What can I say? I've been annoyed by enough of characters like that.
There's not enough likeable witch characters, so Mariketa was fun to read about. She's a "Chosen One" but instead of running away from it she went as far as to hide behind a magikal glamor to make sure nothing and no-one prevents her from her destiny. I really felt for her, for feeling like she's always part of B- team.
Bowen MacRieve of the Lykae clan had his moments but he could be annoying at times about his feelings for Mariketa. He refused to believe anything but that his feelings were because of a spell. Bowen's not perfect by all means: he had feelings for Mariketa but would still go back in time to save Mariah but the end of the book redeems him in my eyes.
Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night is my favorite book so far. It seems like every book is better than the last one. I was so surprised how much I liked it that I almost gave it full five stars. I'm glad Kresley Cole managed to make me enjoy certain tropes more than usually, like chosen one and hero finding a new love.
