Thank you to the author for sending me an early review copy of this book!
Margaret, Lady Riven, never expected to find
herself married, much less enjoying a honeymoon with her vampiric
husband. Obviously, they’ve only agreed to stay married for logical,
practical reasons, but Lord Riven has kept his promise to supply her
with excellent tea and even better company as they travel together
across the continent. Unfortunately, her newfound notoriety has traveled
along with them - so she’s delighted when they arrive at a secluded inn
deep within the Black Forest, far from high society.
However,
the inn is full of lethal supernatural creatures who find Margaret’s
arrival anything but welcome - and for all of Margaret’s academic prowess,
she’s infamously inept at making friends. When a new threat appears in
her own mirror, she realizes that the greatest danger is to her
heart... and she’ll have to rely on a remarkable assortment of newfound
allies to help her save the immortal vampire who holds it.
- From Goodreads.
This was a very heartwarming and charming follow-up to A Marriage of Undead Inconvenience, I really enjoyed that this story was a little longer and we got to spend more time with Lord and Lady Riven and see how their relationship was developing. It was also fun to explore a new location and meet quite an eclectic set of new characters! There was an intriguing mystery to solve, some exciting confrontations and of course more delightful romance.
Margaret and Lord Riven's relationship is definitely my favourite part of these books, they work so well together, have such great chemistry and obviously care so deeply about each other. Every scene between them is so wonderful to read.
If we ever get more in this world, I will definitely be reading it, I would love to see more of Lady and Lord Riven's adventures, and I'll certainly continue to read more from Stephanie Burgis as she has a very engaging and clever writing style. I would recommend this series for you if you love other fun and charming fantasy romance series like the Emily Wilde trilogy by Heather Fawcett, or the Love's Academic series by India Holton.
