It is evident Helen Rena can craft a story.

This is more of a teaser introduction to Rena's book series than a standalone story, but it drew me in and kept me reading, and then I bought her next book.

In this short work we meet a girl called Ever, the main character, along with three complimentary characters (or perhaps opposing--we don't know yet for sure): Fox, Sin, and Demi. The author skillfully introduced them in the short pages of this little book.

I look forward to continue reading Ever's story in "The Coldest Heart".

This story was great. I felt blindfolded as I read along. Helen Rena has a true gift where she brings her readers into the worlds she has created. I highly recommend.
