Norcliff is such a beautiful story about Erin's tragic loss, she goes through so much yet she shows resilience and truly becomes a force to be reckoned with. Packed full of action and adventure.

K.A. Connolly has done a great job with writing in the era it is based in as well as being descriptive without overdoing it where it takes away from the story.

Besides a kiss there is no spice so it would be suitable for your teen readers. It is a riveting read!

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to read the ARC!

Norcliff was a captivating read, skillfully intertwining a well-crafted plot with characters that truly left their mark on me. Erin, the main protagonist, emerged as an exemplar of strength and resilience, embodying the essence of female empowerment throughout the narrative.

Among all the characters, Madame Neigley captured my interest with her unwavering confidence and strength of character, leaving me eager for further exploration of her backstory, if possible.

For those who love fantasy, royalty, and thrilling battles, I highly recommend Norcliff as a journey into a world of enchantment and intrigue. Thank you for the opportunity to read this ARC!

This book has me feeling everything; the tension, the fear, the betrayal, the grief, the loss. Everything that the characters felt was only heightened by the imagery. It’s a perfect read for those wanting a NA fantasy with minimal romance, but all of the tension and emotion of a full-blown romance.

The balance between fantasy and romance is amazing especially for those who like romance books but don't care for it being thrown in their face every page

All in all Norcliff is a nice short read for those who are just diving in fantasy romance or those who already love it. I'd even say teens could read and enjoy the book as well

DELIGHTFUL. Norcliff had absolutely everything I was looking for - a strong emotional center, romance that sweeps me off of my feet, action and adventure, and fantasy elements that swept me away. It scratched a Princess Bride itch that I've had for quite awhile, and I'm so glad I found it!

Oh, I loved this! A thrilling and captivating story with several twists I didn't see coming. I loved the strong female lead, Erin is a true badass and she is not to be meddled with.

I could hardly put this book down, and I would LOVE a physical copy.

My compliments to the writer. You're going places!
