Hi, I’m Scarlett! Just found out I’m a queen who automatically takes to the throne and have a loyal following without proving myself. I go against all advice of family and loved ones and keep vital information from everyone at all times. I will risk the lives of thousands (probably more) of my people because I declared myself queen to save two friends. Because who gives a fuck about actually ruling and taking sound advice? Not me. But I didn’t want to rule! But I chose it if free will anyway! Fuck the fae who have lived for hundreds of years with knowledge and experience I have no idea about. I shall continue to lie and keep secrets from everyone who (somehow) loves and trusts me and have only known me a few months. I also have every man who meets me falls in love with me and the only three women in my life are copy and paste of each other. Wow.
I’m not like other girls.

hmmm. book one was promising but then this book is just all over the place. authors really need to start chilling the f out when it comes to ambitious world building bc it takes away from everything else..i really liked scarlett in the first book. in this one, not as much. not that things happened in this book bc not much really happened. this book couldve been 300 pages shorter tbh. so much unnecessary filler that truly got exhausting. lastly, scarlett’s decision at the end was ????? is she stupid or is she stupid? she got way too arrogant when she doesnt know shit yet. i got so much second hand embarrassment from her. idk man. this series is losing its essence. very sad bc it had so much potential.

Liking this series, but for a majority of the book I felt like I was reading a knockoff version of SJM’s a court of mist and fury

Lady of Shadows (Lady of Darkness #2)
By Melissa K Roehrich
Dark fantasy, romantasy, enemies-to-lovers
My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
In book 2, Scarlett Monrhoe is taken to the Fae Fire Court and faced with some tough decisions as she chooses freedom or a cage.
Filled with Fae, Night Children (vampires), and Witches, you never know where this story is going to go.
❤️ Melissa K Roehrich is a fantastic storyteller and world builder. I get sucked right into the story and feel like I'm in this fantasy world she created. Despite being long, I've had no issues getting through the first 2 books.
I'm invested in so many of the characters, and their relationships. Even the clear villains of the story, I want to know more about.
Nothing and nobody seems to be who they first appeared.
💔 I thought this was going to be a 5-star read, but when I finished the book, I literally double checked it was the ending because I felt like it ended so randomly. Nothing go resolved!
I know this is only book 2 of the series so more is coming, but at such a long length, I just wanted more and some kind of resolution.
I'm hopeful that as a full series it's fantastic.
🎀 I got books 1 and 2 in my Arcane Society book subscription box and am waiting a bit to see if they release the rest of the series before I purchase and read the rest. These editions are gorgeous and I'd love them to match!
I'm happy I got these and will definitely be buying the rest of the series if an announcement doesn't come soon.
✨️ Trigger Warnings ✨️
The biggest trigger is definitely rape and sexual scenes. These can be pretty graphic. It's an adult and dark fantasy and should be treated as such when choosing to read.
