Alexis L. Menard

This was totally worth the wait to see how Camilla and Nicolai's story ends. It was easy to drop right back into their world, and I got wrapped up in the story pretty quickly. We get to follow their separate paths as they fight towards being reunited, and once they are, you just know nothing will stop them. Their romance is the perfect balance of sweet and fierce, and at times the way they talk to each other can feel a little OTT, but it just feels right when it comes to them. I will warn you, the story overall is a rollercoaster of emotions, and it'll keep you hooked from cover to cover. My only question - do we get to come back to this world with stories from some of the side characters???… (mehr)

I was drawn in from the start and found it hard to set this down for even a moment. Menard does an amazing job of bringing the world to life around the reader, allowing you to step into this dark, steampunk world. I absolutely loved Camilla, she's a great FMC and Nico...let's just say keep a cool drink handy while reading. The story itself isn't very spicy, but there's just something about him that gets your heart racing. I loved the tension and how smoothly and quickly the plot flows, making it easy to keep turning pages. The ending absolutely killed me, and I cannot wait to get my hands on book two...… (mehr)

I loved book one, and was really looking forward to book two - it did not disappoint! Menard weaves a tale of myth and magic around the reader with vivid descriptions, unforgettable characters, and a plot that keeps you turning pages as you eagerly discover what will happen next. Ailsa and Vali are great MCs, and work so well together. You can't help but like them. The world-building is great, and I love how Menard puts her own twist on Norse mythology, making it something both familiar and new at the same time. If you haven't read book one, you'll want to grab this before diving into this one, but together they make an unforgettable story!… (mehr)
