About this ebook
Perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and From Blood and Ash.
Book two in the Of Flesh & Bone series!
Once, I fell in love with a man who deceived me.
For weeks, he stood by my side, twisting his words into pretty half-truths. He enraptured me with his smooth temptation, leaving no corner of my being untouched. He consumed my mind and my body, then finally claimed my heart for himself. But Caelum's true identity is terrifying enough to bring me to my knees.
Then, I discovered the truth of who he is.
Caldris is whispered in the Nothrek wind. The legend we only speak of with hushed words, in shuttered rooms, for fear of drawing his wrath once again. His intentions are a mystery, his desires impure, and he seeks to shackle me to his side for all eternity. With the Wild Hunt as our guard, he points us back to where it all began: the village of Mistfell and the boundary where the Veil once shimmered in the wind.
Now, another secret crouches, poised to change everything.
The Mist Guard have been sworn to keep us from crossing into Alfheimr, and from treading Faerie soil, even if innocents must pay with their lives. They have orders to resurrect Mistfell's shimmering barrier, but, once again, there's a greater cost than what has been revealed. Once, the people of Northrek blamed me when the Veil fell.
Soon, they'll want me to pay the price the magic requires.

I'm writing this before I've finished this book because it's just so terrible. I'm not confident that this has been edited by anyone or at least not by anyone who is slightly good at their job. Character development is spastic, and the storyline is wildly inconsistent, as are the character personalities. Things happen out nowhere, and in a way that just doesn't make sense. Often there's no there's no clear justification for why a specific event has occurred. It's like the author just plucked the tropes out of a hat and never bothered to think about how they would logically happen. There's grammatical and spelling errors that even high school level English should be able to pick up. I initially liked the premise for the book, hence why I read book 1, but it's honestly turned into absolute slop. All that being said, I typically like a smutty, trashy fantasy, and I never expect them to be well written or thought out, but this is just... appalling. that being said, I'll still finish it.

Absolutely awful. Boring to exhaustion.
