by Abby Auburn

Fresh from another encounter with an ancient evil of the Dark Forest, Alice and Roque are elated by both their recent victory and their newfound love.
Unfortunately, their elation is short-lived when cracks begin to form.
Cracks in the ground.
And cracks in their beliefs.
Not only their belief in their ability to fight against the forest and keep their home...
But their belief that they can survive the forest at all.

Cozy horror romantasy - I like it! I read this trilogy over three nights and had a blast! It’s not precisely good and the secondary characters are not given much in the way of depth BUT Alice, Roque and Prince Oscar (poor guy) fighting the evil forest without a single clue between them kept me glued to the pages. Happily Ever After or bust.

wicked beast, romance and family oh my!

I absolutely love this series!! I couldn’t put this book down because I was desperate to see how Roque and Alice’s story would end. I definitely was not disappointed, there were so many surprises I wasn’t expecting. I love the sense of found family and togetherness that has been created at the Inn. I love the different povs we get in the book and honestly Oscar’s pov was the most satisfying! There’s romance and a good amount of suspense as the story comes to an end. You won’t get bored with this funny horror romantasy series.
