REVIEW:

If you like historicals with a touch of paranormal, Karen Marie Moning’s books are perfect. I have absolutely loved all of Karen’s books that I’ve read so far(which you might have gathered from my previous reviews on her ). Having already fallen in love with Dageus from the book about his brother which is before this one, I most definitely felt for him right off the bat. For me the internal war and the way in which he triumphs is beautifully done. (thats not a give away, these are happily ever after stories after all. ) I would highly recommend reading this book. The only thing I’d suggest is that even though these books do stand on their own, reading them in the right order would sweeten the entire experience.
