WOODS AND WINGS By M.W. Devers

YA / Fantasy / Action & AdventurePublisher: Midnight6 PublishingPages: 430Publication Date: November 19, 2024

SYNOPSIS

She never sought the path of a hero. Destiny had other plans.
In the peaceful village of Rhigov, where traditions hold sway, fifteen-year-old Astraya Myna dreams of little more than escaping the confines of her kitchen duties. But when a malevolent force known as Vronti shatters the village's tranquility, Astraya is thrust into a journey she never imagined.
Guided by a legacy she barely understands, Astraya joins forces with her brother, Raustra, and a small band of allies. Together, they embark on a dangerous quest to protect their home from wingroans, dragon-like creatures whose powers are as formidable as their intentions are mysterious.
As shadows of betrayal and hidden truths close in, Astraya navigates a world where loyalty is tested and power proves both elusive and dangerous. With each step she uncovers more about her family's past and her own untapped strength, until she must decide: how far will she go to save her people and what is she willing to sacrifice to discover the truth about herself?

MY REVIEW

 

This is the thirdMarlene Bell book I’ve read. The previous books were part of the Annalisse series.

I love a good murdermystery and that is exactly what author Marlene Bell and her MC Chef andCookbook Writer Laura Harris dish up in this entertaining novel. Laura returnsto her Texas roots after a stint as an award-winning chef in California, whereher brother runs the family restaurant.

Laura is halfway home afteran uneasy visit with old family friend Hattie Stenburg when a niggling feelingtells her to return to the house only to find Hattie dead in the guest house.She calls the police and has to convince them her death was murder only to findherself in their crosshairs. Hattie, it seems is worth a lot of money. Thesuspects soon pile up, including disgruntled neighbors, a missing caretaker, andLaura’s boyfriend. With little trust in the police, Laura investigates Hattie’sdeath herself.

At her side is her widowedfather who eyes an eye on her. But trouble is also brewing in her hometown whereher friend's bakery is hit with bad reviews and equipment failure. Are the tworelated? It’s all beginning to be too much. But Laura has a new friend, the sexysmelling lawyer who handles Hattie’s affairs, and things are heating up in thatdepartment pretty quick.

With plenty of clues,mysteries, twists and turns, Bell takes the reader of a ride as she spins hertale of greed and revenge.

I really enjoyed therural Texas setting with vivid descriptions of the countryside and life insmall town America. There’s a good romance brewing even as Laura comes to gripswith her current beau. Lots of layers, lots of details to wade through untilthe ultimate satisfying ending!  

I recommend this bookto lovers of complex murder mysteries.

If thatwasn’t bad enough, someone seems to want Lady Astrid dead. Hugh will doanything to keep her alive. 

Ienjoyed this historical romance. The writing is excellent, the story well told.I love when writers include a little mysticism in their stories and the Early MiddleAges seems especially suited for it. There is plenty of action and of courseromance. In the end, the guy gets the girl, and the bad guy gets what's comingto him!

Blurb:
A Yorkshire orphan struggling for opportunity against 18th-century odds reluctantly transforms into a Venetian courtesan during the Empire's last days.
Sixteen-year-old Renna Covert toils away in the shadows of a Yorkshire workhouse, her days filled with the mundane task of shelling cotton and the dangerous duty of scouting for punters. One fateful night, she crosses paths with two sailors and finds herself thrust into the heart of a chilling encounter at the local asylum. These harrowing experiences catalyze Renna's journey, promising newfound opportunities and revealing long-buried family secrets. Yet, at every turn, powerful forces conspire to thwart her quest for truth, forcing her to abandon her scullery work and embark on a daring escape to Venice alongside her steadfast companions.  In the labyrinthine alleys of Venice, Renna's fate takes yet another twist. She is ensnared by a cunning Madam who trains her as a Venetian courtesan. But beneath the veneer of luxury lies a world fraught with danger, where Renna must rely on her witts and resilience to navigate the treacherous waters of deceit and betrayal. Set against the backdrop of Venice's tumultuous Napoleonic invasion of 1797, this is a tale of a girl's struggle for survival. It is a story of resilience, defiance in the face of adversity, and, ultimately, one young woman's determination to reclaim her identity. 
THE CURSE OF MAIDEN SCARS is a coming-of-age, women's fiction novel with gothic flair set in the tradition of Victoria Mas' THE MADWOMAN'S BALL, and Sarah Dunant's IN THE COMPANY OF THE COURTESAN, with the sensuality of LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER.

Author Bio:
Nicolette Croft can’t remember a time when she was not creating imaginary worlds inspired by her Hungarian and American ancestors. As a neuro-divergent learner, however, putting those stories to paper proved more challenging than imagining them. Because her determination would not allow her to settle, she pursued an English B.A. to improve her writing.
Young motherhood also brought unexpected challenges, which motivated her to pursue graduate work in twice-exceptional learners and education. She would later add an M.A. degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, specializing in neurodivergent people, trauma, and grief. Nicolette uses her natural gift of storytelling as an exploratory method for her clients.
The Curse of Maiden Scars is also an outgrowth of her personal journey and marks her first publication as a novelist, having previously published short fiction. When not at her counseling practice or researching historical facts for her latest story, Nicolette shares treasured time with family, friends, and her husband. Whether writing, cooking, traveling, or learning, the act of creation is always at the center of her colorful life.
