This is one of those series where in each book a character is paired off with someone.Nothing wrong with that, of course.But when I begin a book, the questions should be more along the lines of "what's going to happen next?" or "how is this mistery going to get solved?". When you pick up a book and ...
Maybe I'm spoiled with good urban fantasy, but I was slightly underwhelmed with Shadow Kin.It's a good mix of urban fantasy and paranormal romance, and I've enjoyed reading it, but it needed an edge like Cat and Bones from The Night Huntress series to become memorable and addictive. And edge of dark...
4.3Great first book with an interesting set-up, good leads and realistic motivations and fears. My one complaint as the switch of POV between the two characters that came on suddenly without a real set of rules. The change of symbols will help you later on to determine who is going to be speaking bu...

Shadow Kin is an impressive first book in a debut series! After a botched assassination attempt on sunmage Simon, our Shade heroine Lily is very worried, and also very trapped.

A too complicated world-building (with jargons that I don't understand), for example, can definitely reduce my liking. This one starts with a pretty intriguing action. A femal...
2.5 StarsPotential. This author has it. This book is like a box of chocolate, they look good, smell good, the outer layer is scrumptious and melts in your mouth but, when you get to the middle you realize it has nuts in it and you're allergic. This read had fae, beasts, Templars, Healers, and a Wrai...
Shadow Kin started off slowly, probably due to the fact that it's the first book in The Half-Light City series so M.J. Scott had some world/character building to do. Once that was out of the way though then this novel really started to shine. The element that pulled me in the most was how the seemin...
I admit, I love my Urban Fantasy gritty, fast paced, action packed, with some great paranormal elements. Shadow Kin lived up to part of my expectations in the end. Lily has been made into the perfect assassin by a Blood Lord, a wraith whose able to slip between the shadows. Until the next job puts...
