The Pine forest is the second book in the iridescent realm series. It can read as a stand alone but will be enjoyed so much more with the back story of The Azure Kingdom. Oliver and Addison have chemistry from the very first touch the road to happiness is not an easy one. Sarah Puckett gives an amazing 5 star performance but I felt that Max Reid was to harsh as Elliott. I loved Elliott in the first book, he was my favorite character and HATED him in this book all the way through the epilogue to the point I was not excited for the third book.
