I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It sort of reminded me of something along the lines of the movie, Hansel &amp; Gretel: Witch Hunters. You know which movie I am talking about, right? &#x1f60a; There are a lot of intricately woven elements to this story that suck you in to the very end. Myths made real\u2026<br \/>\n\u201cDo you know why it is so dangerous to try and charm a snake, Magistrate?&#8230;Because the snake is as charming as the magician thinks he is.\u201d<br \/>\nI do like that it is a paranormal type of book but it is not outlandish in the slightest. It is subtle enough that it lets your imagination run wild while continuing on with the story. This is definitely a page turner and believe me, you won\u2019t be able to put this one down. I look forward to reading more by this author. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25376 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-%20_content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor-300x100.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\" aria-expanded=\"true\">\n<p>Andi Lawrencovna lives in a small town in Northeast Ohio where she was born and raised.
