Truth be told, I don’t give self-care enough time. But when I do, I usually seek out silence. Nothing refreshes me more than a drive in the car, or an hour away from the loud noises of my personal life. It does start a bit awkwardly. But as long as you get past chapter 2 the story starts To write itself almost. I did struggle with the 1st chapter understanding what was happening once I did I couldn't believe the story I was falling into. It didn’t change my life, but it certainly sparked my love for dystopian and dark fantasy worlds. Too bad that I don’t remember the title. I was in elementary school when I read it. A story about children who grew up during famine. Could have been set in Ireland, but it was an alternative world since there were no adults. As a kid at the age of 8 or so, the idea of having to fend for myself and group together with other kids fascinated and terrified me.

And the writing flows effortlessly with plenty of style and form. Every description, every word is a testament to this author’s talent. The first in a dark fantasy romance duology. Please mind the extensive trigger warnings, listed below. Tell us about when you got “the call.” (when you found out your book was going to be published)/Or, for indie authors, when you decided to self-publish. Below are the worlds this author has built around these two characters. The details of both worlds are so incredibly vivid that you can easily imagine each element. Eventually it ends with a cliff that could make you propel objects with telepathic rage. Fortunately, the second book is now out and it works exceptionally well with Ada’s transformation, keeping you engaged with the twisted, macabre and taboo.Next, let’s introduce whiplash and move from undead to non-consensual filth… (clarification on that below if you’re curious). Initially, the profanity was so widespread that I wondered if it should have been classified as erotic, but the plot moves on. Few know this, but I’m from Germany and traditionally published books there many years ago. When I finally felt brave enough to publish in English, going indie was a no-brainer to me. I enjoy having full control over the content of my books, especially when it comes to stories written under Liv Zander. I promised myself that Liv would write whatever she wants whenever she wants to. No compromises. No doubts. Trad publishers would pull their hair out if they needed to deal with that attitude. QTP. Question The Premise. What works for 99% of writers might not work for me. Writers, teachers, and gurus love to preach how we just “have to get the story out in a first draft” or “stop editing as we write”. Not only is it untrue for me but causes me frustration and stress I don’t need. Becca Syme from the Better Faster Academy truly helped me understand how my writer brain works, and how to trust my process, no matter how odd it may seem. We are first introduced to Ada, a widowed midwife who had been forsaken by her people for being unable to give her late husband children. The world she lives in is one surrounded by death and wandering corpses due to a curse created by the King of Flesh and Bone. Due to a misfortunate event involving a wayward mule ends up dragging her into the Pale Court at the feet of the King of Flesh and Bone himself. She finds herself his captive and spends much of this book plotting the best way to escape her eternal binds to him.

First of all, the characters blew me away! Especially Enos. He’s the bad boy that every woman fears but secretly fantasizes about. He is by no means a good guy, as he will demonstrate at the beginning of the book. Ada is a fighter, brave and unaware of her true worth.The second book however....well, see my review of that book for more information. Overall, I would have recommended this book, but the second book in the series was enough for me to say that I will not be recommending this book.
