**SPOILERS**
This book was so refreshing! I loved the untraditional mix of legends, magic & supernatural elements. These themes that are typically not represented together in one story were woven together expertly to create an immersive world that leaves the reader feeling like he separate stories and mythologies we thought we knew make so much more sense now! Seriously, I never would have imagined a book with vampires, demons, the Knoghts of the round table AND SANTA?! But it works so well! I fell in love with Elizabeth and have been team Ryker all the way! I cannot wait for the rest of this series!  Thank you, Jeanette, for bringing such an interesting and original story to life on the page!

The Lost Daughter by Tirzah M.M. Hawkins
Did not finish book. Stopped at 15%.

I haven’t touched this in months because the next chapter’s POV is the POV of a character who SA’d the FMC. I just can’t. I’m not invested in the story enough to want to read from his POv.

Going into this book fairly blind, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But once I started reading, I simply could not put it down! I am a grown adult who works a full time job yet I found myself staying up until 1-2am reading because I simply HAD to keep going!

 The story is intriguing and the characters are both loveable and relateable. Even the paranormal elements are introduced in a way that makes it feel real.  The bigger story for the series is also unfolding and I cannot wait to see what happens next in book 2 (Burning Embers).

Highly recommend!

What a ride! This book had me hooked from the very first chapter. It’s dark, it’s intense, it’s spicy, everything I love in a book! The twists keep twisting and the enemies to lovers trope was exquisitely executed. I am very excited for book two!  Thank you, S.K., for an amazing read. You have gained a new lifetime reader!
