ReviewsIsla's courage, determination, and compassion invest readers in her plight, imparting tension and drive. The story hits many well-loved and familiar beats, and sumptuously detailed feints, twists, and betrayal lend vibrancy and intrigue., Gorgeously lush and cinematic , Lightlark is the kind of fantasy that indulges all your senses, makes you swoon, and then knocks you sideways with twists. You won't want to put this down ., Fantasy that reads like a breath of fresh air. Filled with secrets aplenty and enthralling magic, Lightlark will have you gasping then swooning while these valiant rulers fight to break their curses., If The Hunger Games was a dark fairy tale, you'd get the vicious and enchanting Lightlark . Get ready to be transported into a dazzling world where love is a death sentence and the romances between competitors are even fiercer than the curses plaguing the islands., Grim, one of Isla's love interests, is a total scene-stealer. . .their steamy scenes are a definite highlight.
