Perfect Paranormal/Fantasy with a Twist!Wow! I absolutely loved this book. The secret lives of witches and were-wolves fill this story with a captivating romance and a twisted drama. I was totally glued to the pages and wanted it to last forever and wishing I had their magical spells to transport myself into their time period. The writing is beautifully smooth and visionary.The characters are brilliantly built and their chemistry will melt your heart. I loved Prince Mihai, he is heir to be King one day and comes home from school to live a destiny his father has planned – yes an arranged marriage to a women he has never met (Theresa). I loved his passion and dedication to his father and sister. His resistance towards his intended is short lived and he soon finds himself madly in love. The author did a beautiful job showing the family closeness between them as they worked together as a unit.Mihai is a witch and he knows it but he has never practiced or even learned what talents he could obtain. He inherited his witch blood from his mother and the author’s details of his mother’s demise is tragic but is one of the first things that drew me into the story line, I couldn't put the book down – totally spellbinding.Lady Theresa is a doll, she is so innocent and sweet, one would call her a daddy’s girl even though she has older brother and sisters. She is very educated and naive of the witch and were-wolf world that surrounds her. Her family is head of the witch coven and they have kept this secret from her due to her father having the future sight in dreams and how her life would end if she ever practiced it. But Theresa has a little insight about Mihai due to the fact she has been dreaming of him since she was a little girl, she just never realized how much better he’d be once she finally got to meet him. Yes, love at first sight. Their passion was magical – heat rating 3 Flames. With one heartache after another with all the drama that goes on, my heart sank at what happens with her baby and her sister-in-laws baby – I actually yelled “NO”.The witches amazed me. There are two types of witches as we all know – a good witch and a bad witch. Mihai and Theresa’s family are good witches and they find themselves at a constant state of preparing and guarding against evil. I loved all the potions, herbs, and healing abilities that were described – made me want to plant some myself - LOLThe were-wolf pack is totally wicked; I loved the culture the author built around them. Their rituals and methods of being a part of the pack is mind blowing. This is the first time I didn't like the were-wolves in a book. On a full moon we know wolves have to change and hunt but the only way they can have their needs met and satisfied is through sexual relationships with a witch for only a witch can handle their roughness and calm them down with their powers.Viktor was Mihai’s best friend from school and came home with him to become his right hand man. I fell for him quick when he fell in love with Mihai’s sister and they got married. But a twist of faith reeks habit as Viktor is bitten by an ancestral were-wolf from his bloodline to become the new leader of the wolf pack. The tragedies and the twisted revenge gripped my heart and turned me against him. I couldn’t believe what I was reading, it was shocking - I had a WTF moment.The story’s plot line is perfect and the climax unraveled all at once as Theresa realizes she is a witch, Viktor goes crazy becoming conniving, deceitful, and revengeful with his wolf blood, and Mihai grows into his witch gift with the help of Theresa’s family so he can protect the woman of his life and their future of uniting Romania with the other smaller kingdoms.The happy ever after leaves you happy with Mihai saving the day but filled with questions of the wolf curse that Theresa has bestowed upon her 2nd child and whether Mihai and the rest of their family will ever find out about it and when they do what will happen to Theresa then – will she be hanged as her father’s dreams foresaw?. This was an amazing story and I highly recommend this to all paranormal romance lovers.Excellent Read!**Author provided copy for a fair and honest review**
