First off, I like my paranormal books to also have a little romance in them and this, apart from a kiss or two, had no romance.

Second. I had no idea what this sERIES would be about when I bought the trilogy as the synopsis was a little vague.

So, I have to admit that I did like it...just not really enough to continue the series.

To me, it seemed that they went through a lot of crap for nothing. To go to where the weird black things come from just to find out what power Jess had, and then to realise that you don't know what it is anyway?? Riiiight... :/

I don't think I'll be continuing it as it just isn't really my sort of thing, I'm afraid.

Two standalones from the Story Hearth catalogue that sit inside the same understanding — that magic hides in the ordinary world and passes to its recipient through readiness rather than seeking.

Hiraeth — Ellis Clarke has carried an unnamed longing her entire life. A visit to Beddgelert and a meeting with Luke Maddox, a Guardian of Wales who is considerably more than he appears, begins to suggest the ache has always been for something specific. A paranormal romance steeped in Welsh mythology and the particular quality of belonging finally found.

What a Latte Books — A book appears in Laura's shop that has no right to exist. It keeps disappearing and returning. Its story mirrors her own life in ways that shouldn't be possible. A contemporary magical realism romance about following an enchantment you can't explain toward something you haven't let yourself want yet.

Both waiting for the reader who arrives at exactly the right moment.
