Author: E.A. Winters
Book: Chant of Cheats
Series: Heist of Hearts
This was the 2nd book that I read for 2026, and I posted the review, but since today is the actual release day... I thought that I'd post again.
ARC- CHANT OF CHEATS... This is the 3rd and final book in the series, Heist of Hearts and Oath of Odds being the first two in the series.
This was fantastic! There's a lot in here that literally would break someone... Grigg is really put through it, and will he survive the changes? If ever a book series was wrapped up so well and completely... Chant of Cheats does it.
All three books will have you cheering, raging, swooning, and perhaps crying. Winters is true to her word when she says that she writes fast paced action, adventure, and fantasy.
And the fact they are clean romance is such a benefit. The imagination of Winters is so outstanding, her ability to describe a scene, the energy she pours into her stories, you'll be on the edge of your seat.
When to read? So these books take place AFTER the Melderblood Chronicles, which takes place after The Blood and Flame sage. I highly recommend reading those first... But it's not necessary. However, you are introduced to Grigg (by another name) in Melderblood Chronicles, and I think it's good to see his personality in those books to really fall in love and understand him in these books. But again, not necessary.
All E.A. Winters' books are available on KindleUnlimited, or you can order hard copies.
