Freya Snow #3
Wings
Freya thought being in love with her best friend was hell. Finding out he was a Demon was worse.
With her guardian having let slip about her true lineage and her sister having left town after returning for a single day to deliver a cryptic warning, Freya couldn't remember when she last felt more alone.
To make matters worse, something has upset the balance of magic in the town. Now unicorns and Demons roam the streets without a care for the humans who might see them.
Freya's mother gave her life to keep magic a secret, but she's not exactly jumping to do the same.
An Angel might be the only thing that can stop it now. If only they weren't extinct...
WINGS>/i> is a YA paranormal romance novel with a dash of sci-fi.

About the author
L.C. Mawson
100 books246 followersSome say she's an ancient creature of nightmare that was unleashed from beneath the ocean, come to devour the souls of men. Others say that she's a cosmic being from the beyond the stars that has taken corporeal form to learn our ways for some unknown end...
In truth, L.C. Mawson lives in a tower in the middle of a haunted forest, far from civilisation and is definitely not a witch who curses those who trespass upon her land. And she definitely cannot turn into a dragon that flies over cities in the dead of night and whose cries are often mistaken for an approaching storm. Where did you hear that? That's absurd...
The only contact she has with humanity is publishing books every so often, which is definitely just for fun and not part of an ancient contract with a trickster god.

Disaster has hit Freya. She has always been a top student at school – and now she has Bs and Cs in important exams. As was mentioned in “White”, Freya “equated a lot of her self-worth to her intelligence. Being a genius was the only thing she had going for her. Anything that threatened her idea of her intelligence threatened her very idea of who she was”. Her confidence I her ability to live in the Human world is shattered, so she decides to concentrate on what she can do in the Magic world and maybe go into bounty hunting full time. Alice is back in town, and finally she and Freya are able to talk about their magic – until Alice suddenly takes off again. Freya still hasn’t cottoned onto Damon’s magic, but they are getting ever closer together. Sparks are literally flying! Damon retreats. Freya’s foster parents are trying to get pregnant, so probably won’t want her around much longer, and if all that wasn’t enough, Freya has sprouted wings and flaming hands.
Freya’s Autistic nature is still causing problems in social interactions and when she has to explain herself: ““Scripting.” “Which is…?” “It’s how I talk. I memorise phrases other people have said, or from TV, and I piece them together to make them say what I want. But I don’t have any scripts here, so it’s just… blank.””. Luckily, her friends now are used to her ways, and are able to understand her.
The action in this book is split between Earth and the Shadow world. Apart from Freya, who visits the Shadow world in her sleep, Earth magic characters and their Shadow world counterparts do not share information or experiences. So, there are two distinct story lines taking place – same characters, different knowledge. Somehow, Freya has to bring both worlds to the same point to stop an apocalyptic scenario.
In “Wings” some aspects of Freya’s life take a hugely positive leap forward, but unfortunately others move painfully backwards. This is the third book of the “Pup” trilogy, but thankfully things do not stop here. I’m off to read the next instalment.

Freya is still in love with Damon, and when she finally starts to date him, she finds out that he is a Demon. As she is an Angel, this might be a danger to their brand new relationship. Her grades are slipping even though she is trying to study, and she finds out that Amber has been hiding some things about her parents. Her foster parents are also trying to have another kid, which means that she might be sent back to the foster home, most likely for the next few months before she turns 18.
Lastly, someone has upset the balance of magic, and magical creatures are wandering through the streets, which means that Freya must work harder in order to hide magic from the human world. But her Wings are also showing constantly now, so in order to hide magic from the human world, she must also mask herself.
This series just gets better and better with every book. I loved Damon and Freya’s relationship, as it was healthy and beneficial to the both of them. It did not interfere with the story as Freya was still able to go on adventures and fight demons, even though her boyfriend technically classified as one.
This story was a surprisingly quick read, but I found myself enjoying every second of it. I would recommend this series to anyone looking for an action-packed YA fantasy story with a hint of romance.

The road forward is not always the way we wish things to go. On a another timeline, in another universe, there is a Freya who has a happily ever after with her soul-mate. There is leakage between these worlds but that puts Freya's world in thaumatological peril that could lead to catastrophe. Her 'sister' from foster care is now an apprentice to Fate, and drops a few help ful hints. But what it means for Freya is that she's going to have to save the world again and then forget that she did. You win some, you lose some.

Another neat multilayered paranormal tale. Our heroine Freya continues to learn more and more about who she is and what she's capable of, events call upon her to develop and act in ways she'd never foreseen, her relationship with Damon develops nicely, and so much more. Throw in great new and returning supporting characters, another fine (and well written) plot and you've a major recipe for success. This book definitely delivers on the series' promise.
Highly recommended.
Highly recommended.

Is everyone a Demon? An excess of power in town is creating a problem. Strange things are happening and Freya and Damon are trying to find an answer. Maybe it's time to get everything out in the open? Poor Freya doesn't know who to believe. It seems like everyone wants to use her powers.
I had a lot of mixed feelings in this book. I can understand some of the secrets but now all. I think if I was Freya I'd find a truth charm and wear it anytime I'd have to deal with the ones in her life.

Outstanding! Terrific imagination and twists in this book that I haven't seen so far left me wanting more. I was happy, frustrated, a little mad, and had a great time doing it. L. C. Mawson does it again. Great book!

This was a thoroughly enjoyable book to read. The first two books were spent setting the scene and slowly expanding the universe, and in this one the universe expanded some more and there was a fair amount of action mixed with some romance

This is my honest and unbias opinion of the story. THis is a wonderful story written by a wonderful author. My daughters and I read it together and loved reading it.

Not available KU couple or so were free *Note: Did receive the trilogy as free gift, along with all the Freya Snow books as well. Beyond grateful for the wonderful stories.

Foreword in book...The condition we now refer to as 'autism' was first recognised by the medical communities of Europe in the first half of the 20th century. ... Many were simply seen as 'eccentric' and certain euphemisms arose to describe them. One such euphemism arose during the Industrial Revolution, within the upper class of London. Many of the great minds behind the revolution were referred to as having 'an inventor's disposition'.
One of my free books, this one is 'science-y' and 'mystery-ious', and was a nice walk through someone else's mind for me. Shame not available on kindle unlimited but appreciated the free book. *Note: Did receive the trilogy as free gift, along with all the Freya Snow books as well.

Mawson's writing style only got stronger with her latest installment of the Freya Snow series. This story flowed off the pages of the book, and as the reader, I was thrilled to be a part of the journey.
Freya develops her powers while uncovering more of her past, as in the last book, except the development moves along at a steady clip, ramping up speed for some exciting reveals. I really appreciate how each installment moves the plot forward while focusing on a different technique or micro-plot within the story itself. Readers who favor the relationship developing between Damon and Freya will certainly find the nuggets of relationship drama delightful as they're strewn throughout the book, but of course nothing can be simple in the world of Freya.
Mawson draws complex components of the overarching plot together through this book really effectively, bringing back minor characters and hinting that they play larger roles further down the line, kicking the metaphorical can just far enough that her readers won't forget just how many tiny moving parts there are. And I'm glad she does this, or I surely would've forgotten our dear friends Peter and Jamie, let alone a few of the other characters who didn't have as big a role to play in the third book.
