Monica's Review:

A Winter’s Night by Rie McGaha is a nice short intriguing story. It’s not the usual romance we read mostly here on DDR but it has a nice paranormal fairy tale feel. This story is obviously the set up or prequel for something further, but it doesn’t detract from the great story that it is.

The characters are similar to other characters that I have read about but there are enough differences that set them apart, the main characters are an elderly magic wielding wise-women, an evil wizard, and a quartet of sisters that each hold the power of an element. I know the plot sounds like a storyline you might find in ‘Charmed’ but the girls are quite different. The sad part of the story is that they don’t realize the severity of the whole situation until it’s too late and they face the consequences., which is actually a very important element in magic of any genre.

This story is a bit disconcerting when you start as you try to figure out where the tale is going to lead, but you never really quite know. As I said, A Winter’s Night has a fairy tale feel and I enjoyed the strong sense of right and wrong, evil and good. You knew who you are cheering for and who you weren’t. Overall this is a great short read when you want to satisfy the need for an intriguing, yet non-erotic, story.
