Mortal Enemies to Monster Lovers

The entire, steamy series in review…

I’ll admit, I came to this exceptional series of books rather late; not until the final book was due to be released Slaying the Shadow Prince by Helen Scheuerer. But, I am glad I eventually came across the series, because it introduced to me to new worlds and new authors. Admittedly, I enjoyed some books more than the others, but alas, not all books are created equally. But now that I’ve read the series in its entirety, I’m going to do you all a favour and rate them from worst, to best.

🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

In the final instalment of their Season’s War Tetralogy, the writing duo under the pseudonym of Olena Nikitin have bought us a finale filled with chaos, war, love and betrayal. Summer Veil is action packed, from the first page to the last, and, as someone who has followed Lady Inanuan of Thorn’s journey from her very first Little Accident, it has been an absolute joy. Their books are filled with Slavic mythology and magic, entwined with a dash of Cornish mysticism and Norse Beserkers
