This was a good read, but I also had a self published book which I could not finish. I'm not a native English speaker so for us it is doubly important to have a good editor. This writer didn't and most of the sentences were clumsy and didn't make sense. Shame as it had an interesting story as a starting point. I did contact the writer and I can only hope he will take my criticisms to heart, because at some point down the line it will bite you with a sarcastic one star review.

This was a very short read, but it left me intrigued as much
as uncomfortable. The world of Clandestina is an unusual world where humans, Fae,
and magic exists. Pierre Salvador is a Duc and a newly qualified surgeon and
this is the bit that made me uncomfortable; our romantic lead dabbles in
necromancy, he not only communicates with Mora/Death but actually crosses
briefly to her realm to gain healing powers. Taking a human life to heal
himself was a bit of a gasping moment. (But death does not always means death
in Clandestina, pfew!) This book does
take you to the dark side of magic, but I’m intrigued as to how it will
develop. The romance between Lizzie and Pierre is just getting started and
Larkspur is just a taster of what is to come. Judging by this morsel, I don’t
mind ordering the 5 course meal.
