Most of the Aria Storm works have been Lesfic, but the author also publishes various other genres, and is about to expand even further in the near future.
Thank you to Aria Storm for reaching out to me on IG asking me to check this out! I really loved this storyline with all the Gaelic/Celtic/Irish creatures and lore twined in! My biggest complaint? The dialogue formatting made conversations feel disjointed and was occasionally unclear and difficult to follow along with. Following Ella and her journey for self and worldly discovery was so fun. Ella is such a wholesome and pure hearted heroine and I will never forget her.
I was drew to this book as it had one of my favourite tropes, unknown power/background with a little bit of romance! I enjoyed this book and like the characters and lore around the fae as well as the storyline Although the romance is very slow burn I like the tension between Ella and Nieve especially as Ella is starting to discover her sexuality I will definitely keep my eye out for the next book in this series and will be checking out more of Aria's book series
