Book Review: The North Wind by Alexandria Warwick

Today’s review is about THE NORTH WIND by Alexandria Warwick. It’s the first book in The Four Winds series, though I believe it reads as a standalone within a series. This first installment is a dark fantasy romance billed as a cross between Hades and Persephone and Beauty and the Beast.
