The Winged & the Wicked by Kristie Cook
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I received this ARC from Red Coat Publishing and the authors in exchange for an honest review.
This was my second Havenwood Falls novella and it was just as cute and quirky as the first one.
The characters fit each part of the story perfectly; from the evil villain to the innocent, unsuspecting victim. It was fun to read a story in which gender roles were reversed and still held true to the skillful art of storytelling without the obvious “in your face” social commentary.
The plot was to the point, easy to understand and held the reader’s interest. It was full of mystery and magic and perfectly wrapped up within the limits of this novella, but contributed very well to the greater world building of Havenwood Falls.
The writing flowed nicely and kept a steady pace throughout the story. The authors added a special treat for readers who enjoy stylistic skills of song and rhyme.
Overall, I enjoyed this story tremendously and I can’t wait for the next story in the Havenwood Falls series. I would recommend it to anyone, who likes stories of the New Adult genre with elements of mystery, the paranormal, magic and a little bit of romance.
