Resumen del Editor

"Please stand for the Daughter of Winter, the Slayer of Demons, the Heir to the Throne, her Royal Highness, the Lady Wynter."

Wyn thought everything would be unicorns and rainbows once she reached her mother's palace.

The last things she expected were assassination attempts, the Summer King readying for war, and, worst of all, frilly dresses.

But all of that is pushed to the side when one of her Guardians needs her help. They're hers. And she'll protect them while keeping her vow to protect the Realm. No matter the cost.

This is the second novel in the Daughter of Winter series, a paranormal reverse harem romance for listeners 18 years old and older.

Quite a story!

The narrator does a great job of reading at a good pace and giving voice to emotions and the atmosphere of the audiobook scenes. Book 2 was easier to follow and understand. This book had more mystery and intrigue than the last. Once again, the epilogue leaves you on the hook for the next book!

Amazing Sequel

This book was just as great as the first! I loved that we got to learn about Crispen’s past and find out why he acts the way he does. It really made him seem more realistic and made his actions and personality more reasonable. Wyn’s relationships with her guardians continue to grow along with her relationship with her mom, Biera. This book had so many twists and turns, heartbreaking moments, and suspense. I can’t wait to see what happens next and go on another journey with Wyn and her men!
Laurel did another amazing job with her narration! She puts a lot of emotion into her performance to bring the characters and story to life. It’s always a great experience to listen to her voice and accents that she does for each character!

Winter Heiress

I love that the story picks up as you left book 1. But it ends making you need more. Wyn is getting more adjusted to her life in the palace and learning her part. Of course things are never quite what you think in a palace. Never knowing who to trust other than her guardians. An attempt to kill Wyn makes her realize how fragile life can be, but the attacks against them don't end with her this time. Laurel Schroeder does an amazing job on the narration and delivers a flawless performance.

What a Heiress of a great audio

Loved book 1 so once I saw book 2 was available I had to listen to it. Skye the author knows how to do stories with drama , mystery and suspense. This continues where book 1 left off . But it introduces you to a new character also .

Lauren Schroeder the narrator was fantastic as always. Her voice is smooth , clear and she does all the characters perfectly.

This story is about Wynn Nd how she deals with her guardians and starts to learn about them . This story is about Crispen . He has a past. It seems it is a chip on his shoulder. He wonders if Wynn opinion of him will change once she learns the truth .
Wynn has people after her, she knows that will all stop when she reaches her mothers kingdom. But she doesn’t know when the next strike will happen.
How does she feel about Crispen secret and does she get to her mother. Grab it and see

Waiting for book 3

PNR romance

This story is getting more adventurous as the mystery deepens. Crazy unicorn and spelled dragon shifter add to the mysterious story. Ends on another cliffhanger.

Wow

Oh wow. This series just gets better and better. I can’t wait to see where this storyline is going to go. It’s so so captivating. I’m hooked. Written well and yet another great performance from Laurel.

Great Continuation

As always the narrator was amazing. The storyline kept me engaged and intrested throughout the entire book. I did shed a couple tears at the ending, but can't wait to see where S.M. will take me next.

Great story

** spoiler alert ** While I thought book one of this series was a little slow-going and felt there wasn’t that much happening, I really liked book two. But obviously, book one had something to pique my interest enough to go ahead and purchase book two. As I stated in my book one review, who wouldn’t want to be surrounded by a group of attractive men whose job it is to protect you. 😉

The biggest…question I had with book two was regarding Chrispin’s attitude. While in book one he was the least forthcoming of the guardians, he was more likely to keep his distance from Wyn, rarely talked or showed he cared about anything, in book two, he was joking around (right at the beginning and throughout) and seemed to have done a 180. What was going on with him? Did the author forget he wasn’t as outgoing as the other three guardians?

Questions/Comments:

I feel like I missed a big part between the two books also. When/how did Wyn get her magic back? I guess I somehow missed that part. Last I listened to (audiobook version), Wyn’s magical cave had rocks blocking the entrance and her magic was trapped inside, and no one seemed to be able to help her.

The immortality test Wyn took…well, I wasn’t a fan of that part. I guess it’s just that Wyn comes across as dumb or some other negative adjective. It’s like with the mental test, she knows her parents aren’t actually around, and knows that the test will involve someone/something trying to break into her mind barrier. Yet, she freaks out when she sees her parents on the other side and feels she has to get them inside with her. What would she have done had they been bad? Then during the magical test, a version of Bayra appears. Again, this is a test. These aren’t the real people, yet Wyn seems clueless like she’s forgotten what’s going on. It left me feeling annoyed.

Moving on, one of the things that stuck with Wyn when she fought the fake Bayra was when she was told that Bayra had been waiting for her birth, so she could kill her. Um…had Bayra not really wanted Wyn, why would she have waited for Wyn’s birth and not done something about the pregnancy sooner? That part didn’t make sense and left me wondering how Wyn didn’t pick up on that. Although, I’m under the suspicion that the author didn’t fully grasp what she was saying there. No offense to the author!

Bayra ends up telling Wyn that her guardian father hadn’t been magically-inclined. How so? It seems like everyone in Bayra’s world has magical capabilities. Speaking of magic, given Bayra is the Mother of the Gods, how is she not the most powerful? I didn’t understand that. I mean, Wyn seems to have more control over a larger array of elements than her mother does. Or when we’re told that the Moragan has three-times the magic than Bayra. How in the world did Bayra give her that much magic?

One of my pet peeves when it comes to reading/listening to/watching a sex scene is when the main characters don’t clean themselves off afterward, especially the female. Is it just me? It’s like, how do you do that…then just roll over and go to sleep. Sorry, but no! And with Wyn, she has sex with two guardians, one after the other, two times the cum, and afterward just gets her clothes back and goes about her day. HOW? Or what about pregnancy?

When Auk and Wyn send the converted demon to her parents’ house, how did Auk think that was the best of ideas given the situation. The demon might have been recommended, but the demons were after Wyn. It would have made more sense to send another guardian or used some other magical capability.

In the end, I'm very interested in acquiring book three of this series.

Great Sense of Humor and Narrator

I loved this story! This is an amazing continuation. It made me love all the characters more. I loved the sense of humor in this book. The narrator was great for this book. She was also very easy to understand.

Great continuation of the story

I was eager to read this after reading Winter Princess. I adore Wyn and her Guardians and am always ready for more. We learn more about Crispin's heartbreaking past and the person who created him. This story is filled with emotion, action, humour, and a unicorn I can’t get enough of. The ending is a cliffhanger and I am very excited for the next book.

The audio is good, I’m not fond of how she does a couple of the voices but it’s clear and easy to follow and distinguish between each of the characters.
