The Ice Whisperers by Helenka Stachera Review

Hi ForeverBookers,   How are you all today? I hope you’re well! I’ve just finished reading “The Ice Whisperers” by Helenka Stachera, which I really enjoyed. It’s set in two timelines, a modern one, Poland 1910, and one a long time ago 40,000 years before. Poland only has a minimal amount of chapters devoted to it, though.

They have the task of taking down the Congregation and add to that destroying Matthew’s vampire son, Benjamin, who is trying to populate the earth with evil vampire children, something he requires Diana for. There are twists and turns throughout too as well as really sweet moments, like when Diana gives birth to Matthew’s twins, yes, he’s a vampire, but they can procreate with weavers, which is what Diana is. Think Twilight, Breaking Dawn but with
