3.5 out of 5 stars A steady, satisfying sail along with a very efficient author. Goodreads: Fable (4 stars), Namesake (3 stars) by Adrienne Young Adrienne Young has a signature simple writing style that I really enjoy.

Review: Serpent and Dove Trilogy

January 29, 2022February 12, 2022Leave a comment

3.5 out of 5 stars Spunky and charming old-fashioned witchcraft (en francais!) in need of better pacing. Goodreads.com: Serpent & Dove (4/5 stars); Blood & Honey (3.5/5 stars); Gods & Monsters (3/5 stars), by Shelby Mahurin Serpent and Dove is a solid supernatural tale. Louise Le Blanc is the heiress to the greatest magical power … Continue reading Review: Serpent and Dove Trilogy
