Winter's Labyrinth

The Three Keys #4

by Dana A. Alexander

Whispers from a shadowy realm…
Two worlds on the brink of collapse…
Only one force can claim the future...

Consumption of humanity by an epidemic of evil shadows has shifted to its final stage. Armed with a potent angelic weapon and a conjurer of the dead, Lord Tarsamon has strengthened his position to shut down the one woman who can stop his race to plunge Earth and Ardan—home of the immortals—into a perpetual state of darkness.

Finding the last of three keys hidden in an underworld of spells is the one hope remaining and a task only Sara Forrester can fulfill. Joined by her team, Sara must brave the cryptic City of Souls to release the ancient Egyptian powers she believed to be myths.

Can Sara rescue two worlds and a future she’s fought lifetimes to claim with the one man she’d risk her soul to keep before time runs out?

I find the blurb interesting but I had difficulties in connecting to the characters and the book fell flat.
Not my cup of tea.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

When I read the synopsis of this book I immediately had to have it. Unfortunately my excitement was not long lived. I did not realize that this book was part of a series and maybe that is why I had a hard time connecting with these characters. The book started off with action and then just as suddenly we were shifted into a romantic scene between Sara (the main character) and Kevin. As someone who didn't read the rest of the series it was hard for me to connect with this. Kevin just seemed almost robotic to me so this shift was just a bit odd for me. Maybe someone who has read the series up to this point would have felt this shift would make sense, I really can't be sure. Another thing that made this read a little rough was that I could not connect with Sara at all. I did not find her character particularly appealing so I did not really care is she survived the mission or not. The parts with her inner reflections just did not work for me.


Some bright points about this book is that the world that was created actually seem extremely interesting. I think the world and mythos created around it was very fascinating, I just wish the characters would have done this book justice.

I am thankful to have received a copy of this book by the publishers and Netgalley, but this book was just middle of the row for me.

Winter's Labyrinth should have a warning that you should read the previous book. I didn't and I was lost in this book.
