Those Forbidden Shadows by Cameo Renae
4.0
Rating: 4/5
Spice: 3/5
Another great installment to the series! An amazing romance but with a perfect amount of plot/world-building. I definitely will say this second book is a little more on the romance side; but I really enjoy Kage and Elara so it doesn’t bother me at all.
This book starts off right where the second left off. Our FMC finds herself in a sticky situation (as is her MO) and has to save herself and her dark and alluring love interest. I enjoyed the first half a lot and definitely felt the growth between our two main characters. Do I still wish this was a why choose with a certain captain of the guard included?! Of course…but a woman could only dream!
We do find some answers on the origin of our FMC, but are also left with a bunch more unanswered questions. I love the mystery of this series but I’m itching to figure out who she is and what her powers truly are. I do love the fact that she is a complete bad ass even without her full powers and continues to throw herself into the action regardless of her set backs. She is extremely loyal to the place she now calls home and the people who are quickly becoming her family. I truly love her as a character!
I really enjoy the magic system in the read. Always have loved elemental magic and there’s something about shadow magic that just so sexy haha. The different city’s are all beautiful to read about and I can’t wait to see what The Fates and the Isle of the Beasts brings in the next one! I love a good trial plot line and I know this isn’t going to disappoint!!
