Morgan Sheppard (1037 KP) created a post

Long before the solstice was a date on a screen, the people of Wales knew midsummer by feel, by the particular quality of the evening light, by the way the air carried the smell of meadowsweet and warm stone, by a sense that something in the land had shifted and was holding its breath.

Bonfires were kindled on hilltops in the days around the solstice, not out of superstition but out of something more like gratitude, a way of meeting the light at its fullest and sending it onward. Sacred wells were visited in the early morning hours, the water believed to carry unusual potency during the long midsummer days, capable of healing and of revealing what was ordinarily hidden. Herbs gathered in this season — vervain, St John's wort, elder flower — were thought to hold more virtue than at any other time of year.

There was also a watchfulness to these traditions, a sense that the line between this world and the world beneath or beyond it was thinner at midsummer than at almost any other point in the year. Not the dramatic thinning of winter, cold and strange, but something gentler and more dangerous, a warm, golden permeability, the kind that could lead a person astray without them ever realising they had wandered.

Wales always knew that summer has its own magic, and that it does not announce itself loudly.

Well, this was an interesting one. I went in with a “well, I like werewolf stories, so let’s give this a go”, and finished thinking “ok, you should all probably go and read this now!”

It’s about found family, loyalty, love, grief and healing.

Oxnard (Ox) narrates the story about how he meets a young boy who has moved into the house at the bottom of his remote country lane. They form a close friendship very quickly, and the boy (Joe) gives Ox a small stone Wolf as a gift. The true nature of the gift isn’t clear for a few years, and in that time Ox learns just who and what the Bennett family are. He goes from believing he’s stupid and worthless, to being an important, integral member of the Bennett pack - a family of werewolves.

Something terrible happens, and the family fragments in two: whilst one half (including Joe) go off on an arduous adventure, Ox remains behind to protect who is left along with the Bennett territory.

This does get pretty graphically violent, I’ll warn you now, but it’s in context - and these are wolves!

I was utterly beguiled by this story - and I’m glad that I have the next in the series to head to already! I’d like to know how Ox and Joe are getting on as newly mated wolves - and who we’ll learn more about in the next book, Ravensong (I have my suspicions!).

Heart of a Warrior Angel
By Lali A. Love
⭐️⭐️

Lilac Noble must face the traumatic experiences of her childhood before she can conquer the dark entities that have wreaked havoc on her family. On this epic journey, Lilac undergoes the destructive process of spiritual enlightenment in order to lift the veil of darkness and shame that has obscured her youth. As Lilac unlocks painful memories of abuse, suppressed in her subconscious from years of fear-based conditioning, she uncovers menacing secrets feeding the evil within her generational bloodline. In an attempt to vanquish the sinister energies, Lilac finds the courage to discover her inner truth, vulnerability, and authenticity, as she awakens her divine light and overcomes her debilitating fears of the past. Lilac's unconditional love for her family guides her through her process of healing and transformation, fuelling her instinct for survival and her burning desire to illuminate the world.
Spanning two continents and three generations, this inspirational novel portrays the best and worst of humanity and shows how the "tiniest spark of light can overcome the darkness of any magnitude," through forgiveness, compassion, and the most powerful force in the universe – Love.

Seems I’m in the minority with this book but I just don’t know why I kept going. This just wasn’t a book for me I don’t think alt I will say it was well written.
