I don’t usually review a book I’ve not read in full, but I thought it was worth it this time.
Witches, magic and fae books are not something I generally read. Occasionally, I’ve picked up a short story or novella, and they’ve been good. So where did you get this, I hear you ask?
Well, as you know, I enjoy author newsletters, and the author, Katie L. Smith, offered the first chapter from one of her books. So I downloaded it.
It was interesting, well written and thrilling. In fact, a complete page-turner.
The lead character has escaped a man whose spell she had fallen under. As she is chased in the ‘normal’ world, she runs into a petrol station and hides in the ladies’ toilets. This gives her time to draw on her magic and enter the ‘between’ world, where she is safe, for a time.
It was something of an adrenaline rush and, at the end, I expected to see a link to the book. It wasn’t there, so I headed to Amazon to take a look. If it fitted my criteria, I might have read it.
Unfortunately, it didn’t. I admit to being fussy where my reading is concerned. It has to be in Kindle Unlimited and, the nearer to 200 pages or less, the better.

Oh, I’d also like to give a shout out for the stunning book cover design, it’s beautiful and I checked to see who made it. You can find them HERE
To break her curse, she must face her past.
Piper Hart never planned to return to her hometown, Stonehill. However, with a death curse slowly killing her, she’s out of other options.
But Stonehill—a border town that crosses to the Otherworld—is not how she remembers it. A darkness is creeping across the area and werewolves are turning up dead.
In exchange for answers to break the curse threatening her life, Piper agrees to work for Stonehill’s founder to solve the mystery of the dwindling wolf population. But there’s one catch.
She has to work alongside the man who broke her heart and caused her to leave town in the first place—Dean Lewis, heir to the werewolf pack, vice president of the Iron Wolves MC, and most importantly, her fated mate.
Can Piper learn to trust her magic, solve the town’s problems, and break her curse all while avoiding old feelings and the heat that still simmers between her and Dean?
With her life and Stonehill’s fate on the line, will Piper rise to the challenge or fall to the curse?
