Merissa (13288 KP) rated Nora's Promise in Books
Dec 4, 2018
Our two main characters both have baggage from their pasts, and neither of them can see it immediately. There is attraction, but also a whole load more. Nora and Davey's relationship is a slow-build, which makes it all the more enjoyable.
There is a supernatural element to this story, with the appearance of Pap, and Nora's abilities, so you need to read this with an open mind. Personally, I loved every aspect.
This is a book long enough to get your teeth into, but not too long that it drags. The story is excellently written, with poignant, heartfelt scenes. There were no editing or grammatical issues that I noticed in a story where the pacing was very smooth.
A brilliant second foray into the writings by Sedona Hutton, and I can't wait for AJ's Leap to be released next. Absolutely recommended by me.
* A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book, and the comments here are my honest opinion. *

ClareR (5991 KP) rated North is the Night in Books
Oct 5, 2025
The main attraction for me was the promise of some Finnish mythology and it’s diminishment under the cosh of Christianity. I love a bit of myth and legend in any and/ or all of its forms and nationalities, and North is the Night didn’t disappoint.
I loved the premis of the two female characters ending up in Tuonela (the land of the dead) even though they’re both very much alive.
Love, magic, death, life and bravery - it’s a heady mix!
