Amazing Story & Poetic Writing
This launched straight into my top, favorite Fantasy Novels! This is a fantastic story, but what makes it great is that it’s written as if told by a great storyteller!
It was easy to connect with the rich world building because it was anchored by a deep sense of culture for both main characters. Great care and intention were given to each character arc, making them believable and relatable. And the prose and writing are chef’s kiss.
For readers who prefer contemporary novels over fantasy, this story is based in a fantasy world that exists within and interacts with our contemporary world. So I think it’s in reaching distance for contemporary readers, too.
This novel goes on my Favorites Shelf, and I know I’ll visit it again and again!
Stunningly Written Five Stars
I could not put this book down. Not only was the premise absolutely intriguing, but the characters were wonderfully written, with in-depth emotions and pasts that created dynamic interactions. The plot kept me on my toes and the slow-burn romance left me breathless until the very end.
I am a huge fan of Roslyn Sinclair but I have an extreme dislike of fantasy fiction. If this had been a book about a nun questioning her faith and sexuality I would have been a happy camper. The whole ocean horse beast storyline was a total downer for me and essentially ruined the story.
So 5 stars for writing and 3 stars for storyline.

I do like fantasy but admittedly I was a little iffy about the horse/human/shape shifter thing but I was pleasantly surprised. I really like this authors writing style and she easily had me emotionally attached to the characters. If you’re into WLW slowburn romance, definitely give this one a try.
A captivating and HOT story!
OMG! This is an outstanding story!We meet Sister Madeline on a trip to Scotland with her class of teenage girls. When she hears someone calling from the North Sea one night. Calling her is Haera an Each-usig, a mythical creaturé, that's not so mythical. The two are inescapably attached to each other's lives. This is a fantastic fantasy, age gap, slow burn, HOT, love story! Just know it is a captivating story! I can't say enough as to how wonderful this is! It is a FAVORITE! Deserves more than 5 stars!
