Firewild (Crow's Coven Book 2)

Delightful second installment in the Crow’s Coven series! What’s not to love here? Deryn and Paloma figuring out what they mean to each other—both present day and in the past. As per usual with a Milena McKay book this one has two layers: the story between the MCs and Paloma’s desire to win the mayoral race on Dragon’s and create a safe space for folks seeking refuge from physical and/or emotional abuse. This one is very spicy, very witty, and offers more clues about the ultimate baddie(s) threatening the Crowharts. Can be read as a standalone, but those who have already dived into the McKay universe will be rewarded with references to previous books. Not to be missed!!!

I have never been disappointed with this author! Her books are always wonderful! 5 stars! Every book, every read! Keep up the great work!!!

“Come, Earth, give her strength, hold her safe…” “Come, Wind, bring her comfort, hold her safe…” “Come, Water, wash her pain, hold her safe…” The vision. The Eyes. The woman. Bewitched again. From the end of Windburn to the (quiet) beginning of something forthcoming, Firewild is the story placed in-between. When emerald eyes meet amber eyes, when fire meets fate and when love is not bound by time but tragedy, here is the space you will live. Fated lovers across generations. Visions that cannot be escaped, denied, or ignored. You are here to know - gather round the coven - to get a glimpse of the arc, the story, the emotions evoked by the alluring words McKay writes, and you, the reader, feel the burn. A story one sister knew well and for another, Deryn, had just begun. Paloma Allende, new to the island, finds herself executing a vision facilitated by Headmistress Knox - building and opening a luxury hotel while following her own passion by breaking traditions in a race to be Dragons first woman Mayor. Finding a place to call home. Under the ice, we find a woman alone, drowning in loss, ruined by past betrayals spending years within a protective shield. It worked. Until the fire burned and the flames called on her without warning and without apology. Enter Deryn [middle name for you to find out] Crowhart. The celesbian, tomboi, ginger, masc, golden retriever pastry chef. Back from decades of being away. Sorrow. Loneliness and ache. Always in trouble, always lusted,…

I enjoyed Deryn and Paloma's journey to each other. A lot of Deryn's internal struggles really spoke to me. Another excellent read from Ms. McKay.

Very enjoyable read. Milena has such a way with words and she creates unforgettable characters. Can’t wait for the next book in the series.
