Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Juniper and Thorn by Ava Reid



If you are a romance reader and you want one with some unsavory aspects and some disturbing creatures, you will no doubt love this book.   Sadly I get hung up on romance books and let it color my overall appreciation of a story.   The last real wizard in Oblya lives with his three witchy daughters and exploits their powers.    

The daughters are rebellious.  Undine and Rose appear beautiful while Marlinchen is the ugly duckling who is unfairly selected to be her father’s servant.  The time and setting seem to be in a pre-industrial revolution in Russia with the move from large landholders to city industry.

Marlinchen discovers a love interest and things get complicated. 

The book abounds with lies, treachery, deceit, and love.

Romance readers should love it, me not so much. 

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases if you click on a purchasing link below.#CommissionsEarned
