A Treacherous Curse by Deanna Raybourn This is such a great series, I just can’t say enough about it! One of my reading goals is to read more series/sequels.

Pink Martini
Pink Martini One of my favorite winter cocktails (I don’t know why I consider it a winter cocktail, but I do). In my house, they are just called Pink Things.
