In March, sisters Kate and Elizabeth Corr finished their popular The Witch’s Kiss trilogy with its final installment The Witch’s Blood and faced some conflicting feelings. 

“On one hand, we’re really proud of what we’ve written, and kind of amazed that we’ve had three books published in less than two years,” said Kate of the fast-paced and character-driven Sleeping Beauty retelling.

“On the other hand, we’ve spent so much time with Merry and Leo and the rest of our characters— so much time in their world— that saying goodbye to them was really sad,” said Liz. “It’s sad thinking that we’ll probably never write about them again.” 

"A quote from the copy explains 'Meredith has lost her heart, but will she also lose her life?' Therefore hearts were crucial to the storyline because of the romance element and the wizard’s rage and plot fuelled by his own broken heart. I tried to work with hearts as a concept in a dynamic iconic manner."
