Hmmm
I'm not going to lie I struggled off and on with this book. The main character is sexual with so many of the other characters it made her seem a bit shallow. I feel like the author could have reduced that and it would have made her seem less flighty. Idk maybe I'm just a prude. But it was a great story line and I enjoyed the plot beyond that minor wince.

Thank you so much to NetGalley for sharing an ARC of A Shift in Shadows in exchange for an honest review.
This novel is a really fun and quick read, for fans of contemporary fantasy I think this would be right up their street. It's gritty and dark, and doesn't pull any punches when it comes to the realities of living in a world filled with paranormal creatures.
I loved Nemain and her complicated relationships with those around her. She was a really fun and well rounded main character.
I'm not a massive contemporary fantasy lover, I much prefer high fantasy but I did enjoy this book even if it wasn't 100% for me. If you're a fan of The Vampire Diaries, I think this would be the perfect grown-up read for you.
It's a great first book in a series and I'm excited to see where the book goes.

A diverse urban fantasy with a 300+ yr old FMC hell bent on revenge… say less
I really enjoyed this world. It is set on earth but explores how other realms exist with Fae & demons ect. It has allll the magical creatures, mermaids & vampires & warewolves! With a lot of them residing amongst the humans
I started this series last year but was waiting for audio as this is the type of book I prefer to listen to & I really enjoyed it.
I did find the 60% mark felt a bit slow. But the characters pulled me through & by the end with a few plot twists it has me interested in continuing the series.
I love the queer norm world
I love the morally grey FMC
I love the mystery that I can tell has only just begun.
Slow burn 2 🌶️
