Whimsical.  Mysterious. 

 

The title promises enchanting, and in that, it delivers in spades.  

 

When young girls in the east go missing, Jack Tamerlaine is summoned home, a place he never planned to return.  There he must partner with his old menace to uncover the land’s long held secrets.  

 

Part adventure.  Part love story.  I found myself easily transported to Cadence, intrigued by the spirit world and dazzled by the Keltic lore.  

 

Once again, Ross excels at this craft.  From the lyrical writing to the cinematic scenescape to the brooding bond between Jack and Adaira, this was a deliciously dreamy tale.  

 

I’m thankful I don’t have to wait for the sequel because that ending left me with such longing!

 

Much like a warm and cozy blanket, this story enveloped me. It was just the comfort read that I craved.
