Review: Hidden in Shadows - Book #2 Aremorden Series - Viveca Sten - October 2021 While scrolling through my Kindle, I stumbled upon Hidden in Shadows by Viveca Sten, a thriller set in Sweden.

The Swedish Prince, an all-new emotional standalone by Karina Halle is now LIVE! I never believed in fairy-tales. Never held out for Prince Charming.
