My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I swear I could not put this book down, I was hooked all the way through. I was left wanting more, hoping for the best for the main 2 characters, and constantly in suspense! Such a read full of intrigue!

The first book was amazing, do not get me wrong, but this one I feel had already established character characteristics and you knew who everyone was. So things happened at a much faster pace. The intrigue and wonder was there as I read. I had to know what would happen to characters as I read. The writing style was perfect as it could get. Would not change a thing. THE book gripped me and held me. The story, as I said went at a good pace, and ended beautifully which I loved. I’m very excited for the next installment!

Great read. Great installment. And one heck of a writer/author. I cannot get enough, seriously! This is a book/author/series I very much recommend. Do not pass up. Definitely a must read all around!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

While this is the second book in the series I think I’m even more in love than I was with the first. While I am a huge book nerd what book nerd doesn’t love a good fantasy full of elves, romance, drama, suspense and more. The characters were all very well written, the story felt like it picked right up where book one left off, and the suspense and drama had me on the edge of my seat as I followed along this journey. But probably my favorite thing about this whole novel what the ending. The ending is absolutely perfect I can’t wait for book three.

Curse of the Elf Lord (Kingdom of the Elf Lords Book 2)Curse of the Elf Lord by Heidi Vanlandingham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book of the Kingdom of the Elf Lords series and this time it follows Émilien and Hel.

Émilien was an Elven lord once married to Hel – the goddess of the dead and daughter of Loki. Émilien was cursed to live out the rest of his days as a werewolf and lost the love of his life as well. They had a daughter together but Hel wanted her daughter oblivious to her parents origin. She knew her father too well and did not want to give him any fuel to mess around with what was hers.

In the first book Émilien found his long lost nephew he didn’t even know existed. After finding out that his brother disappeared long ago, Émilien decides to find them if it’s the last thing he does.

Something is amiss. Forces are trying to stop Émilien from continuing his search. Meanwhile the dead seem to be disappearing from Hel’s realm. Émilien and Hel have to try to put their differences aside to save those around them, including their daughter.

This book was much more exciting and action packed than the first book. I enjoyed reading about the couple’s love/hate relationship and found myself rooting for them to have a happy ending.

Return of the Elf Lord (Kingdom of the Elf Lords Book 1) by Heidi Vanlandingham – Review by Santana Hicks

Return of the Elf Lord (Kingdom of the Elf Lords, Book 1)Return of the Elf Lord by Heidi Vanlandingham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bernard was a soldier in World War II, losing his wife and kids at Pearl Harbour sent him spiralling. He focused all his time and devotion into the war. When he passed away, Freyja gave him a second chance and brought him into her court. All he could think about was what he had lost. In his depression he comes up with the idea to travel back in time and alter what happened to try to save his family. Like they say in all time travel related things, even the smallest change can alter all of history and boy did it ever. Bernard, with the help of Freyja, other gods and goddesses, Alva, elf lords, and witches, try to fix what Bernard started.

The theory was very appealing to me but I lost some interest when the book started delving into the politics and what not of World War II. Also Bernard seemed to be on repeat. I found he said the same things over and over, making him kind of dull in my eyes. Luckily his story picked up later on and my interest came back.

Meanwhile, I was interested in Alva’s story and still am. She is a Huldra which is a creature who feeds off of the life-force of men. They have bark on their backs and tails. Never being comfortable draining men to their deaths, she fled the life of the Huldra and took up a job as Freyja’s assistant. Her mother, who is Queen of the Huldra gets sick and Alva has to return home. She then decides to find out more about the history of the Huldra as she can survive without killing her prey, so why can’t the others? Her story seemed incomplete and had a lot of loose ties that were still there at the end of the book. I really hope later on in the series, the author delves deeper into Alva’s back story.

I have always been into mythology, Norse being my favourite so when I read the synopsis of this book and I saw some mention of Norse Mythology, I knew I had to read it! It helped to already have some knowledge of Norse Mythology. Luckily the author included a glossary for those not familiar with the Names and terms.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is incredible. I love the action, the suspense, and the family drama. Toss in the wolves, drageur and a few other goodies and the fun just doesn’t stop. The characters are well-written. I loved how it felt like it just picked up from the previous novel. The deception scattered throughout to the suspense just makes this such an entertaining fantasy novel. You can find almost anything you want in this story as you follow the elves on their journey. That ending! Loved it! Looking forward to the third book in the series.

Cursed into the body of a werewolf, Émilien Elasalor longs for a cure that will return him to his true Elven form so he can win back the love of his wife, Hel. But knowing what an impossibility that is, he throws himself into his brother and sister-in-law’s disappearance, vowing to stop at nothing to find them. 

Hel is regarded as the ice queen, but underneath that cold exterior is a heart that beats for the daughter she was forced to leave behind—and for the Elf who stole a slice of her soul so long ago. When the dead start disappearing from her realm, she and Émilien are thrust together to discover who is behind this new threat, making the bone-chilling discovery that more is at stake than their hearts—the life of their only daughter. 

Can they forge a truce long enough to save her—and the whole of the Nine Worlds—or will their pasts destroy their future?
