If I haven’t done so before, I hereby declare F.T. Lukens my favourite author of all times. I mean it. They deserve it. I’ve read three out of their four books (and the fourth one is resting in my bookshelf, waiting for its time to shine) and all of them were absolutely stunning and exactly the type of fiction I looooove.

F.T. Lukens has my heart in a tight grip. And it all started with So This Is Ever After, a book I randomly discovered as an Amazon recommendation. When I found a copy in the local bookstore I couldn’t get my hands on it fast enough because the summary had sounded so tempting. And I was hooked. I discovered that there were even more books by F.T. Lukens and started running after an English copy – until there was a sale on English books online and I used the opportunity to order both a copy of In Deeper Waters and Spell Bound. Since then, I had been waiting for the right time to finally read one of those two – and now the time has come and I finally dived into yet another fantastic queer adventure. It took me less than 24 hours to finish the entire book and here’s
