Heartsong – A Gargoyle Monster Romance (War of the Underhill #1) by S. E. Wendel is a spicy romantasy that takes us into a world of longing. What began with a curse becomes so much more. There are twist and turns that leave you questioning the past, present and future. No one can be trusted with the secrets that are still lingering and the fate of a society that was once home to so many still locked away.

Frey was cursed by a fae queen, his power stolen, and since that moment has existed in stone cold silence. Forever watching, forever waiting as the world continues to move forward without them.

Anna Kincaid has found a job with purpose, a place she feels connected to. Something has pulled her to this time and space allowing her to feel valued. A connection…an attachment to the museum she can’t put into words.

One stormy night will set Frey free from the one thing he’s desired over all else…his fated mate. For over fifteen centuries he’s waited…I can’t imagine one day of forced solitude keeping me apart from the one I love. What will happen when Frey and Anna realize the power they hold together?

If you enjoy a book with a happy for now ending that leaves so much more to be explored in an exciting new series…go grab this book.
Heat: Spicy read.
Trigger/Content Warnings: Please see authors website for details should you wish not to be spoiled. 

Always honest, always my own, and thankful to Avon and Harper Collins for a gifted advance galley paperback uncorrected proof copy. This was a new to me author and I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
