Stolen by the Shadows by Sarah Spade

4.0

This book had me all in my feelings. I loved that at the beginning when the FMC called the demon by accident when she was 9 years old. He knew that she was his mate the minute that he saw her, but he knew that she was a child and would not act on anything while she was young. He became her friend, the monster that she told all her secrets to. Nox, the monster who waited 1200 years to find his soul mate and the only way he could was to be pulled into the human world by a spell. When he finally felt the call he found a child as his mate. There was nothing inappropriate in this book, due to the age difference. The FMC did end up touching his shadows because she was wondering what they felt like and he was locked up for 14 years. and he took his punishment to make sure that his mate was safe. He did escape when during Halloween the veil between the two worlds are at its weakest, and he felt his mates fear when she saw her stalker crazy ex-boyfriend. The biggest thing I loved about this book is that she did not fight the mating bond, and did not make him earn back all the time they spent apart. She walked into the bind with the knowledge of what it will entail. She is smart and stubborn, but she knew from the beginning that there was something special about her shadow monster.
