Queen of Shadows was a fun vampire book to read. I didn't feel enthralled by the story or the characters, but I did enjoy it to the point I read it in one sitting. It takes on a twist in the vampire structure. I liked the twist, it definitely made for some very interesting scenes.Miranda is sufferi...

This first book in a new urban fantasy series was fabulous. It was dark and romantic, with complex characters and a unique plot. I am always excited when I come across a book that takes a common trope, like vampires, and makes it intriguing and fresh. Miranda is an empath; she can feel other’s emot...

Really liked this book. The first half was the best, a strong 5+. Had all the elements I like, dark troubled characters, emotional lows and a few highs with challenges to overcome. I liked the world building and character development. I couldn't put it down. Then the last 80 pages went downhill f...

This is a really interesting series and I can't wait to read the next one. Our heroine is an empath and I found the beginning and all her struggles really interesting. I can't decide if the middle was slow or just refreshingly normal and realistic. Either way, I enjoyed it and loved all the main ...

This book reads like a PNR, but the author has said the series will be UF. The world created by the author is strong and while the plot is typical of many PNR stories, it is character based with richly developed characters. I read a spoiler about the end of the book before I really even got starte...

Quick Take: This book gripped from the first page and never let go. The tone is dark, yet filled with tenderness at the right moments. I am officially in love with Sylvan's tight writing style. For all the urban fantasy I read, I find that I don't delve into the much darker stuff as often as I'd lik...
