#BookReview: Of Starlight and Midnight by Amy Kuivalainen




ABOUT THIS BOOK:
Of Starlight and Midnight combines adventure, romance, magic, and Norse myth and shows that some Fates are worth fighting for, especially when the Norns get involved. It's been two years since light-elf brothers Aramis and Søren fought beside Anya in Russia. The Álfr mountain city of Svetilo is safe once more, but their books and relics are still scattered on the supernatural black market. When Aramis gets a lead on a book of magic, he and Søren decide to investigate and find more than they bargained for. Librarian Asta is still grieving over the death of her mother. All she wants to do is hide at the University of Oslo, unravel the mysteries of the strange book she inherited, and hang out with Tyra-the cool Norwegian cousin she never knew she had. The last thing she wants is to help arrogant Dr. Søren Madsen work on his book, no matter how good-looking he is, but she doesn't want to get fired so she reluctantly agrees. Søren knows Asta is hiding something and when they are attacked by dark elves, he and Aramis will stop at nothing to learn the truth about the two mysterious women. But Tyra has a past of her own, and she'll do anything to protect Asta's secrets, even if it means siding with the dangerous light-elf brothers in a deadly war of dark and light.

(Underland MC)

 

Motorcycle Club Romance, Age Gap, Suspense

Date Published: August 16, 2024

 

 

Cheshire is perfect for fans of suspense and forbidden love stories.

Eliza -- Being the daughter of the sheriff might sound nice to most people. But they don’t know what my father is truly like. All they see is the mask he wears. The congenial smile, the good deeds, and the way he puts others before himself. It’s all an act. Behind closed doors, he’s a monster. One I can’t seem to escape. Until I’ve finally had enough… my daring attempt to leave home lands me in the arms of the VP of the Underland MC… and something tells me there’s no safer place to be.

Cheshire -- As the VP of the Underland MC, and former military, I’m no stranger to dangerous situations. When my club discovers the local sheriff is corrupting the town of Warren, I know we need to step in. Human trafficking and abuse are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the sheriff and his henchmen. But the one thing I never expected to find was love -- especially with the sheriff’s innocent daughter. I’ll make sure to take the bastard down, not only for the town of Warren, but for Eliza. I never want to see fear in her eyes again.

Are you ready for this gripping tale of danger and desire?

On the other side of the lines, Commander Jace Cadoria gladly fights the war of his ancestors to slaughter the fae who have terrorized the humans of their realm for generations. And with a cunning plan to trap them, the end could finally be in sight. Except it quickly spirals out of control, leaving Lia and Jace, enemies of opposite sides, stranded together in a dangerous terrain.
