Title: The Scald Crow (Beyond the Faerie Rath Book 1)

Author: Hanna Park

Genre: Romantasy

 

Book Blurb:

 

Calla left her life behind, haunted by a curse she cannot control. She seeks refuge in the land of a thousand hellos, Ireland, for a fresh start—a place where no one knows who or what she is.

 

Colm fled from Clonmara seven long years ago, but now it’s his father’s birthday, and the clan has gathered to celebrate the ould one. Each day brings back the memories that ruined him.

 

Saoirse dwells in the shadows of a lost love, unwilling to move on and unable to forget. The crystals say one thing, but the cold, hard truth tells another.

 

Ciarán walked away from the woman he loved for the fun, for the craic. He didn’t realize that one rash decision would impact the lives of so many, least of all his own.

 

Four broken hearts, brought together by the thread of love.

 

My Review:

 

Calla is trying to outrun her curse, but Ireland has more than a few surprises in store for her, including handsome Colm, who awakens her soul. Can she open her heart to Colm and embrace her gift?

 

The Scald Crow is a breathtaking romantasy set on the glorious Emerald Isle, also known as Ireland. Hanna Park has a lyrical narration style I just love. Every scene is imbued with emotion and magic. The emotional narration captured my soul from the very first page. The characters, though, are what make The Scald Crow an unforgettable read.

 

Let's start with the characters. Calla is our main heroine. I connected with her on so many levels. I've been in her shoes and related to her fleeing reflex. It was so much fun to see her reawaken and discover her true self in Ireland.

 

Colm is a mysterious hero, but he quickly became one of my favorite characters. He has some dark secrets but it's his strength and love that won me over.

 

Hanna Park has penned another impossible to put down read. Warning: there's a cliffhanger and it's a doozy but rest assured, the next book is coming out later this year. Grab this book and read it today.

 

My Rating: 5+ stars

I began my writing career in the pre-dawn of a winter morning while my husband snored like a train. We could call my husband the catalyst. If it weren’t for him, I would never have gone to the kitchen to make a pot of coffee, feed the cat, and sit on the loveseat in front of the fire. It was there, in those moments of wondrous quiet, that I did something I had never thought possible. I opened my laptop, and while the coffee went cold, I wrote a story. My husband had no idea that these sojourns to the loveseat in front of the fire would become a daily occurrence, that writing would become an obsession, but the cat knew. She knows everything.

 

I write stories that make you laugh, make you cry, and make you love. Thank you, friends, for reading!

 

In the beginning, there was an empty page.

 

I am a writer who lives in Muskoka, Canada, with a husband who snores, a hungry cat, and an almost perfect canine––he’s an adorable little shit.
