Alicia's Reviews > A Wicked and Beautiful Garden

When I found out that Ms. McGarry was writing an adult novel I was super excited. I’ve loved each of her YA novels to date. But to find out that this novel has a paranormal twist to it, I knew I had to get my hands on it.

I haven’t read a paranormal/supernatural book in many years. I’ve devoured many in my “reading career” but I haven’t been back in a long while. I really cannot say why I haven’t read one in so long, but I have Ms. McGarry to thank for bringing me back to this genre.

Cassie and Orion’s story is one of heartache and turmoil. Two people whose love is immense, but I’ll-fated, at least in some people’s eyes. They’ve been separated for many years and are brought back together for a single purpose: to find the baby.

This story is just so beautiful. There is action, angst, humour, and there were more than one scene that brought tears streaming down my face. The devotion and love between Cassie and Orion just jump off the page and deep into your being. Not going to lie, I was angry with Orion at first (you’ll read why), but he is just truly a perfect Hero to Cassie’s Heroine.

I cannot wait to read the next book and find out what else happens to these two.
