Merissa (13950 KP) rated Gobin Heart in Books
Mar 24, 2026
The human and goblin kingdoms were at war for a long time before peace finally became possible. As part of the peace process, Prince Luc of Brightwood was sent to the human court. His heart was taken from him, replaced by a magic one, and his will was no longer his own. This is how it stays for a long time, until Prince Ramon and Luc meet with Will, a smith who finds out he has magic too.
The world-building here is fantastic, giving clear details of Luc and his family, together with the human side of it. I loved Ella and was thankful when she and Will broke the family mould and actually formed a relationship.
The characters, whether main or supporting, are all well described and add to the story, which is itself well paced and flows smoothly. Steamy in places, but nothing over the top or out of place, this story was thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end. It was a page-turner for me, and I have no hesitation in recommending it. I look forward to reading more from this author.

I received Forever (Changers Book 4) from LibraryThing to read and review. I have not read books 1 - 3 yet but this little novel is such a hidden gem! The beginning was basically a recap of what happened in the first three books and the authors do such an amazing job with the writing that I was able to read Forever (Changers Book 4) with no problem. So, just because this is the fourth book in the installment doesn't mean that you can't read it as a stand-alone as well.
There is LGBTQ+ representation along with ethnic representation throughout the entirety of the novel. This was seriously a jackpot of a book to get. I enjoyed every second of it and my attention was grabbed and never let go until I put the novel down. As I was reading, I couldn't and didn't want to stop reading. I ended up devouring it in a matter of a 3 day period.
I loved how this was a middle-school grade, young adult, contemporary fantasy but also had hints of sci-fi. Due to the fact that some people changed each year into new individuals. It makes me want to get books 1 - 3 and reread the entire series.
Reasons why I rated it 5 stars:
1. Amazing read!
2. Multiple of different representations.
3. My attention was maintained on the entirety of the novel.
4. Writing was well-done, no grammatical or spelling errors that I saw.
