The perfect combination to keep you glued to the story.<\/p><p>I love Laelia&#8217;s writing style and although these characters are mages, faeries, mermaids, doppelgangers, and other mythical shifters she pulls you into their world as if you were part of their story. This story is told from the POV of multiple main and secondary characters giving you a deeper connection with both the characters and the storyline.<\/p><p>This is a continuing series so you do need to begin with Winter&#8217;s Maiden 1, but you will not be disappointed in these shifting mythical characters hiding behind glamour so they blend in the human world. Beware this book does have a cliffhanger that leads to more mysteries and of what is to come.&#8221;<\/p><p>\u2014<a style=\"font-size: 16px; background-color: #ffffff;\"
