A Gift of the Darkest Magic is like cheesecake, so rich and delicious you can only handle a small slice -- but what a slice! There's so much detail, imagination, emotion, and depth in this novella it's downright astonishing.Ms. Monroe describes so well the despair and desperation that drives the heroine to risk everything for love. To my surprise, she's not the only tortured soul in this tale. You can't help but feel for the man who agrees to help her, for a price, once you understand him better too. This story will touch you and remain long after you've finished reading the last bittersweet sentence.I encourage you to pick this one up.*I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
