So much wow! I can hardly form words right now, because my mind is still reeling from this book. The series started out strong and ended even stronger!

A delightful continuation in the Adenashire series. Warm and cozy. Sweet, tender, emotional, and quirky. This book has a fast-paced plot with enough hijinks and shenanigans to keep readers thoroughly engaged.

Weird and quirky. This book tells the story of three friends and one villain who jump through a hole between worlds, and the adventures that ensue.

What a surprisingly fantastic book. Once I got into it I blew through it, unable to put it down. The characters are strong, yet vulnerable. The plot is full of intrigue and mystery. The world building is rich and enthralling. And the main character's suitors are both equally captivating—dark and brooding and thoroughly mysterious. I loved how the slow burn romance continued to tease and tantalize throughout.

I always worry about short stories, because they are so hard to pull off. But this story had elegant prose; and bold, visceral imagery that was both haunting and sublime. There was solid character development, great world building, plot, and some interesting subtext regarding the creatures we become in order to survive.
