This was an enjoyable Snow Queen Reimagining with excellent world building and characters. I haven't read many retellings of this fairy tale but thought this was a good story and enjoyed getting to know both Gerta and Kay. I look forward to reading more fairy tale retellings by this author in the future.

This was the first Retelling of The Nutcracker and the Mouse King and I thought it was a really enjoyable story and another fun addition to this series. I look forward to reading more fairy tale retellings by this author in the future although sadly this is the last new book in this series.

I really enjoyed getting to know Evie and Aramon in this book as well as getting to know Aramon’s twin brother Solear. I have enjoyed everything by this author that I have read so far and look forward to reading Tass’s story Entangled by the Alien Mercenary when it comes out.

This was the last book in this series and finishes pairing off the last member of Ivey family from the Christmas tree farm. I enjoyed getting to know Max & Shelby in this story and was glad with how things turned out with Max and his siblings. The epilogue at the end was a really nice way of wrapping up this series.
