Kiss of the Swan by Natalina Reis – Review by Sarah King
Kiss of the Swan by Natalina Reis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book had a little bit of everything one usually likes to see in a paranormal romance, magic, witches and shifters. It was a unique nod to some of the childhood fairy tales we grew up with. The cursed prince, Odhran, ends up being a despicable being along like his father. While Cathal, who grew up believing Odhran to be his younger brother, did all that he could to protect him, even nursing on of the royal swan’s back to health. Injuring on of the royal swans comes with a brutal punishment. Throughout the book the main characters face unimaginable challenges as the work to have their happily ever after.
The world building in this book was well done. The characters were well written, in some ways they were even relatable. The villains have you despising them and hoping karma catches up with them while others have you rooting expressly for their HEA. The use of modern language did take a little getting to get use to. There was also a significant amount of cruelty and brutality which may be uncomfortable for some, with the exception of that I would recommend giving Kiss of the Swan a read. It really does have HEA.
