WOW!! This book is magical- literally!! KA delivers once again! Cora wakes in a fantasy world where birds talk and furniture is a marvel of construction! It’s something straight out of Disney. She doesn’t know how she got there and unknowingly unleashes a curse upon the land. She finds out she is married to a sexy hunk: Nocturno the Black Prince. She is soon swept up in the beauty of the land- its scenic views, castles, cozy villages and of course with its witches and evil creatures. The description of Bellebryn and its surrounding land is breathtaking! She learns the Cora of this magical world is a total hag and not liked. The interaction between Cora and Tor is so comical! I was laughing my butt off! Their bickering and bantering is classic with the insults they let loose. However, the more time Cora spends with Tor she realizes how much she likes his world and him. Tor notices the difference in Cora and believes he is being played regardless of the million times Cora tells him she is not of his world. This story comes with a twist as we see both characters traveling to the heroine’s realm! Plus we get Noc- Tor’s twin in Cora’s world!! Talk about drama!! We see Tor navigate Cora’s modern world and it’s refreshing- he learns to drive, changes a lock, hogs the remote and goes grocery shopping!! Cora has tons of spunk as she took on this new, frightening parallel world where her alternate twin was hated head on and went to rectify the damage caused by the other Cora. She took every challenge and overcame many adversities especially Tor’s refusal to believe she was telling truth and not spinning a web of deceit. Tor was the total alpha male prince- he was a strong, valiant warrior with a heart of gold. I do have to say he was stubborn and set in his ways, but which hunky, dominant male isn’t? The “new” Cora mesmerized him from the beginning she was kind, hardworking and feisty. She’s intriguing and beguiling to Tor, but he couldn't seem to believe her wild tale of being from an alternate world. Once, he learns the truth we see his struggle with his previous actions and its consequences. He really stepped up, as all of KA’s alphas do, he accepted his mistakes and did everything in his power to remedy them. I was swept up in this fantastical story with its scenic beauty, a love that transcends worlds with its feisty warrior princess and brooding sexy prince and the ancient curse that brought them together. Have to give a shout out to Aggie- chirpity, chirp! I was happy to see everyone from the other books YAY!!! These characters are wonderful, I loved them all. Oh my, the ending was awesome- Apollo and Ilsa and Noc!! I’m eagerly anticipating the next book!! Can’t wait!
