Trigger warning for discussion of gang rape, racism, and violent homophobia. In a city known for it's musical talent, Miranda Grey is a rising star. Each night when she gets on stage, she somehow manages to channel the emotions of the crowd into her performance. Some songs are so moving that people...

I picked Queen of Shadows up with the expectation of it being a "safety zone" kind of read. Something that I have read a million times before, something so predictable I could jump around if I wanted to and not miss a beat, something that I would enjoy but wouldn’t really excite or wow me. In fact I...

Good story if a bit predictable. I could see most of the events unfold way before they actually did and the foreshadowing was a bit clumsy. Also, just for a change can we not have the protagonist stay away from his mate 'for her own good, so she can lead a normal life'?! Ugh..hello, shades of Twil...

I really enjoyed this book overall. I fell in love with the characters. The heroine, Miranda, is an empath who doesn't know how to control her powers unless she is on stage performing. David is the computer geek she bumps into at the grocery store. But he's not just a computer geek; he is also the h...

4.8Let's just say that this book was extremely well written. The author had me under her spell after the first line of the book.Trust me when I say that this is a well structured, well thought out, well developed book. It's not a completely different take on the vampire myth but it is a different ta...

I loved this book. The action, the romance, the betrayal... it was a great book. But I REFUSE to read the second book because David cheats on Miranda and the author turns the beloved heroine into a simpering pushover, while David is just a f*cking scumbag.

In her debut novel, Dianne Sylan introduces the reader the the Shadow World of the Vampires.Miranada Grey (Mira) had a gift for the guitar, other instruments and music as soon as she picked them up. She was able to lull the crowd around her, and they would only be there to see her, to listen to her....

I suppose I'm due for some UF/PNR detox: everything here was just the same old.It's a mix of already seen situations and wholly unsurprising plot turns. The amount of hint-dropping/foreshadowing/foretelling kept on robbing me of what little fun could be had along the story. At times, I was so bored ...

Summary: The synopsis for Queen of Shadows on goodreads doesn't begin to do this book justice. This book is far more exciting and amazing than that boring paragraph makes it out to be! The back cover is a lot better at capturing the essence of the book:Spread throughout the dark corners of our world...

Read this one till dreadfully late at night, couldn't put it down. Great world building and slow build up of romance. Took me so long to pick it up as I cannot stand the cover. SO SHALLOW!
