(Reviewed) The Winged & The Wicked By T.V. Hahn & Kristie Cook

THE WINGED & THE WICKED
By T.V. Hahn & Kristie Cook
Genre: Contemporary Fantasy
Cover Design: Regina Wamba, MaeIDesign.com



Welcome to Havenwood Falls, a small town in the majestic mountains of Colorado. A town where legacies began centuries ago, bloodlines run deep, and dark secrets abound. A town where nobody is what you think, where truths pose as lies, and where myths blend with reality. A place where everyone has a story. This is only but one…  

Teeny Weeny Tahini lives a simple life in Havenwood Falls. Using her faerie magic, she serves up psychic readings and healing potions in her town square salon. In her free time, she collects herbs in the woods while keeping her tiny forest friends out of trouble. But trouble is exactly what the seven wee folk find when they come upon a maimed snow-white owl . . . and a mummified body nearby.

As Teeny doctors the owl, she’s shocked to discover the fowl-shifter is her nephew Mathew, whom she hasn’t seen in ages. He’s been on the run for years, searching for sanctuary. How he became injured, though, remains a mystery—even to him. 

For two decades, Shayin Pisik has been hunting the one thing she needs to be reunited with her betrothed. Her enchanted locket guides her to Havenwood Falls, warning that she must complete the ceremony started years ago under this week’s Blood Moon, or she will forever be alone.

A disappearing body, another attempt on Mat’s life, and suspicious stinky strangers lead Teeny to uncover the clever plans of a lovesick heart. But the winged must take on the wicked for true love to reign in this Teeny Weeny faerie tale, a quirky reimagining of Snow White.

This is an adult fairy tale retelling in the Havenwood Falls series of New Adult and Adult fantasy novellas featuring a variety of supernatural creatures. The series is a collaborative effort by multiple authors. Each book is generally a stand-alone, so you can read them in any order, although some authors will be writing sequels to their own stories. Please be aware when you choose your next read. We do recommend that you read Forget You Not first as an introduction to the town and its eccentricities.

Other books in the main Havenwood Falls series:
Forget You Not by Kristie Cook
Fate, Love & Loyalty by E.J. Fechenda
Old Wounds by Susan Burdorf
Covetousness by Randi Cooley Wilson

Books are released on a monthly basis. Coming soon are stories by Lila Felix, R.K. Ryals, Belinda Boring, Heather Hildenbrand, Amy Miles, and more.

Also check out Havenwood Falls High, a Young Adult series launching in October 2017.

The start of The Winged and The Wicked was a bit scattered for my taste. Though this would be character development, not poor writing. So it personally started out slow for me. In the middle when the action picks up so does the book. I was now hooked and wasn't letting go. Then the end came. I can't fully explain why it lost a star without spoilers. Some things needed a bit more detail and explanation of why certain people did what they did and/or why they were there. 

Now I would recommend it for these reasons. 1. Kristie Cook 2. Havenwood Falls 3. HA! Mathew is spelled with one T! This made my day! 4. It was still an overall good read. Well worth my couple of hours I gave to the book.
