This was such a page turner! I couldn't get enough of Liana and Callum🖤 There's fated mates, hidden kingdoms, tyranny, betrayal, family bonds being mended, and justice being served!

Liana is the heir to Vanhal, a kingdom that has fallen into poverty. The only way to pay back her kingdoms debts is to marry a rich Lord whose family owns the largest trading company. Liana believes duty always comes first, and that love will always be the downfall of people.
Callum is the Fae prince of the Lost Kingdom, Stargard, which vanished over a century ago from Liana's world. With the veils magic weakening and cracks forming, Liana and her sister's slip through on the night of Beltane, a festival honoring the arrival of the Fae King, and learn dark secrets from both kingdoms that will be life or death for everyone. 

I couldn't put A Shimmer Between down! I'm so excited to read more about this world, Liana & Callum, Penelope, Eima, Rose, Aingil, and Rainan! I'm so invested in everyone, even Tamryn, being the sweet, sassy, motherly figure she is🥰 I thought Stargard was beautiful and Liana is a total bad-ass. She never once stopped trying to do right by her people, and became the kick-ass Queen I knew she'd become! This is definitely going in "favorites-of-all-time"!!
