A review by offmyredcarpet
Invitations by C.M. Nascosta

4.5

The character and relationship development in this series is truly superb. Nascosta shows us that complexity of character very much extends to our beloved favorites giving us relatable human characteristics and reminding us that even good people have the capacity to sometimes be thoughtless. Basically, some of our characters are going to act in shitty ways and some are going to be self absorbed. It’s relatable-but-make-it-modern-fantasy and oh yes let’s add a layer of danger and intrigue from the fae realm. 

We do finally learn the ‘why’ behind Tate’s holding back of himself and I’m eager to see how Nascosta solves it in book 4. This book is going to hurt your heart but Nascosta will patch us up with Reunions this fall when everyone gets their HEA. 

Dislike: a confusing flashback and it not initially clear that is what was happening. Frequent typos in the form of correctly spelled words but the wrong word entirely and several instances of misspelled names. It’s enough to be distracting.

Lots of cameos in this one: Vanessa (Run, Run Rabbit), Ladybug (Wheel of the Year series), Grace (Sweet Berries), Philomel (Hexxenacht), Azathé (Two For Tea). We meet the MMC for Nascosta’s upcoming release He Loves Me Not. And if you’re not reading Wheel of the Year series, too, consider it. Everything is converging.
