Greenteeth included everything I enjoy in a fantasy story - a great setting, mythology, the fae, a quest, and an endearing group of central characters. ππ

Enchantra was another enjoyable book in the Wicked Games series. A murderous game, a family of characters forced to play against each other, and Genevieve arrives with no idea what's she getting into, but takes to the game quickly.
