I sense she likes those … She stated at her signing that she suches as leaving things approximately the creativity. The story sucked me in all the way till the uncertain end. She goes into a lot of depth of what the main character is thinking and also really feeling which I enjoyed.

Romance, adventure, action, violence, gore, fun, magic, laughs, sorrow, hilarity… This one just wasn’t my favourite in the series. Absolutely start with the first book in the series. It was a fantastic way to get my mind off life for a while. What redeemed it for me was the usual fantastic storyline, action-packed scenes, twists and turns and of course cameoes by Nevada and Connor! Would I recommend Emerald Blaze?
