A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross

Reanne Powell

Wow! This will probably be one of my top reads of the year.


Rebecca Ross effortlessly swept me up into this atmospheric world of feuding clans, magic plaids and moody spirits that rule the elements. This book was cozy and mysterious, adventurous and romantic. I loved the different storylines, and the love stories woven through were were deep and real.


I won't say much more since I don't want to spoil anything, but this is a book that lingers long after you read it. Can't wait to read the sequel!

From the back cover:


Jack Tamerlaine hasn’t stepped foot on Cadence in ten long years, content to study music at the mainland university. But when young girls start disappearing from the isle, Jack is summoned home to help find them. Enchantments run deep on Cadence: gossip is carried by the wind, plaid shawls can be as strong as armor, and the smallest cut of a knife can instill fathomless fear. The capricious spirits that rule the isle by fire, water, earth, and wind find mirth in the lives of the humans who call the land home. Adaira, heiress of the east and Jack’s childhood enemy, knows the spirits only answer to a bard’s music, and she hopes Jack can draw them forth by song, enticing them to return the missing girls.


As Jack and Adaira reluctantly work together, they find they make better allies than rivals as their partnership turns into something more. But with each passing song, it becomes apparent the trouble with the spirits is far more sinister than they first expected, and an older, darker secret about Cadence lurks beneath the surface, threatening to undo them all.


With unforgettable characters, a fast-paced plot, and compelling world building, A River Enchanted is a stirring story of duty, love, and the power of true partnership, and marks Rebecca Ross’s brilliant entry on the adult fantasy stage.
