Winter’s Chill will chill your blood and warm your heart. It has it all; action, creepy supernatural magic, love, war, seeking purpose. Brighid and Kaeden continue their individual search for identity as they sense a growing connection with each other even though they are on opposite sides of the war that the Shadonae complicate and rile. Plan to read for hours on end as it is difficult to put down.

A Good Sequel
I absolutely loved the first book and knew I would enjoy this one too. I’m sad I have to wait a year to read the conclusion of this tale but I will be looking forward to it.
The story was moving, I loved Brighid and her story of finding family and purpose. Kaeden and his role in being the Truthsayer. I only wish the final battle had more detail, it felt rushed and halfway thought through. Only reason why this is a 4 star and not a 5 star read.
