"Intrigue and danger in this fascinating tale!"
Robin D. Owens has yet again written a book that was so
phenomenal that it took my breath away! She has once again
returned to my beloved Celta and has given us another
glimpse into her fascinating world. This is Trif Clover's story. Trif wants to know her
HeartMate in the most impatient way so she fashions a
heart charm and decides to go about trying it on various
single Celtan's doors. Black Ilex Winterberry knows that Trif is his HeartMate
but there are two things wrong with that scenario. One is
that Ilex is a tiny bit clairvoyant and has seen his death
many times. Two is that he is much older that Trif but
still he can't help but look out for her so he moves into
the same apartment complex where she lives. Ilex is investigating several very strange murders that
seem to have been committed by more than one person and on
single people with Fams and with uncontrolled flair. Now
all he needs to do is put the pieces of the puzzle
together and find out why they are being murdered and by
whom. First he must convince Trif that it is not safe to
wander around Celta looking for her HeartMate. This does
not set well with Trif at all. Then Trif unexpectedly
receives here very own Fam cat named Greyku. Greyku, of
course, is as personable as all of the other delightful
Fams that Robin has created in her Heart books. I
personally believe that Greyku stole the whole story! What a job Robin D. Owens' books are to read! Here is
another winner to add to my keeper shelf. As always, I
eagerly look forward to another book from Robin D. Owens!
