Review
I’m not sure how to even go about writing this review. There’s lots I want to say, but when a book has blown you away, it’s very hard to put feelings into words. Words feel simple into the magnitude of everything you are feeling. It seems like nothing you come up with will convey the level of awesomeness you just experienced, and every expression seems lacking somehow. So, lamely I will say this: Wow! As in W-O-W! To say I liked this book would be a huge understatement. It’s freakin amazing!
I loved how it was all well balanced. The spice. The romance. The fantasy world. I cannot say enough about the storyline and the characters. Specially Kingfisher, he has that magnetic charisma that just draws readers to him. The supporting characters are no less remarkable. It’s impossible not to fall in love with all of them, flaws and all. The banter between characters was chef kiss and the TENSION was top-tier. The medium burn does pay off with some GREAT steamy scenes. The duet narration had my emotions running on high for the entire audiobook. Anthony Palmini, I’m in love with your voice and performance, dude. I certainly will listen to more of your work. You are amazing. Stella Bloom you are too. You both did an outstanding job at bringing those characters to life!
I can’t even read any book right now…I’m still reeling from this one. And let the book hangover begins!!
“Every warrior in Innìr will smell me on you, Fisher’s voice rumbled in my mind. I’m going to make you hoarse from screaming my fucking name. I’m going to mark you in every way imaginable, so that everyone knows you’re fucking mine.”
“A wave of hot emotion knifed me in the center of my chest. This was the kind of male I wanted to be with.”
“All right, fine. Have it your way. At first, I didn’t say it because I fucking hated you,” he said. “Hated what you represented.” My blood was cold as ice in my veins, but I had to hear it. “And what was that?” “Weakness. Vulnerability.” “I am not weak, Fisher! I’m not like those butterflies, pathetic, hatching and dying in the cold—” “Not you! Me!” He thumped himself in his chest, suddenly furious. “My weakness! My vulnerability! I’ve known for centuries that you were coming. That you were just going to show up one day and change everything. You’re the chink in my armor, Saeris. The soft spot where the knife slides in. You are the thing that Malcolm will hurt to hurt me, and I couldn’t… couldn’t fucking bear it!”
“Your scent drives me crazy, Fisher rumbled. You’re like a fucking drug. You light me up.”

Blurb
Do not touch the sword. Do not turn the key. Do not open the gate.
Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses, or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen’s reservoirs for as long as she can remember. In the land of the unforgiving desert, there isn’t much a girl wouldn’t do for a glass of water. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone.
When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares…but it turns out they’re real, and Saeris has landed right in the middle of a centuries-long conflict that might just get her killed.
The first of her kind to tread the frozen mountains of Yvelia in over a thousand years, Saeris mistakenly binds herself to Kingfisher, a handsome Fae warrior, who has secrets and nefarious agendas of his own. He will use her Alchemist’s magic to protect his people, no matter what it costs him… or her. Death has a name. It is Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate. His past is murky. His attitude stinks. And he’s the only way Saeris is going to make it home.
Be careful of the deals you make, dear child. The devil is in the details…
