Beautiful Monster — Heidi R. Kling

After narrowly escaping bloody aftermath of the Gleaning, Logan and Lily are desperate for a fresh start. They steal a boat and take off across the midnight sea in search of the Isle of the Seven Sisters and the cure to save Chance. But this isn't any movie-star yacht. It's the Sea Witch, and she carries powerful secrets of her own.



Pampered and happy and gloriously in love, the Rognaithes are living a dream, until two uninvited guests arrive -- threatening everything. When the dark secrets Lily struggles to keep from Logan erupt in monstrous, devastating ways, she looks to another warlock to help her control her alluring new powers. But will she lean in too far to return to her fated love and stay on course?



Temptation -- it's a Beautiful Monster.



Told in alternating points of view with no choice points, Beautiful Monster is Book 4 in the bestselling Spellspinners of Melas County series. Look for Book 5, Faerie Bones, coming soon!
