“But even then, I knew that something had shifted when I had glimpsed that blush and that fleeting half-smile.”

Hanna Sandvig, The Wolf Gate

What if you found out that you were dating a fae who turned into a wolf at night? What if the librarian in your town didn’t just hand out books and scolding looks but cloaks with seemingly magical abilities? What if the exchange students in your high school were clueless about not only everything Canadian, but also everything human?

These—and a host of other things—are Audrey’s problems. Come to think of it, most of her problems are named Gavin McKenna.

When a twilight walk through the forests turns into a harum-scarum adventure across the mountains and through the forests of a strange fairyland, Audrey must rethink everything she’s ever been told about Gavin. About Dylan. About the Ireland which they supposedly came from.

Can Audrey and Gavin work out their differences? Will they escape Moriath, the Unseelie queen, and the Huntsman who can magically track Gavin’s every move? And if the queen’s minions are hanging around Pilot Bay because they’re searching for a lost princess, who might that lost princess be?

Hanna Sandvig is releasing a new edition of her Little Red Riding Hood retelling, The Wolf Gate. And if you love cheesecake, coffee, second-chance romances, and clean forced proximity romances, The Wolf Gate is the perfect read for you. In my opinion, it’s a perfect addition to any romcom lover’s summer reading list. 🍰

Check out Hanna’s website and her Substack, which has some articles about The Wolf Gate (including gorgeous illustrations!!).

“Life was undeniably worse without the dark complexity of molasses and spices, but it could be survived.”
