ACCLAIM FOR Hidden Heir

Very imaginative book and I enjoyed it immensely. Good characterisation and novel premise - it's great to be taken into unfamiliar worlds and I think the author has succeeded creating something new and novel. Flows well and is an easy read, and it works well across all age ranges. Clearly, there will be a sequel as the book ends with the promise of more. Looking forward to it!

It takes a lot for me to believe that a romance novel will bring the wonder and delight promised. This story has more than romance, however. It has magical conspiracy, and actually turns teatime, a relaxing activity, into moments of suspense for the relevant parties. We also get some generational trauma that impacts the plot. In short, the book has it all.

Patruno amazed me with her debut novel! I was captivated by Inga and Biago's connection from the very start and I loved reading about their romance. The added magical elements were also really interesting! I hope I can read more about Inga soon!!

Books Forward

This book transported me into a world of magic and wonder. It kept me captivated from the first sentence to the last page. I deeply connected with the characters and loved watching their relationships evolve as the story progressed. This was definitely a page turner and I can’t wait to read more from this author!
