In The Shadows by C.J. Cross

4.0

I really enjoyed this novella! Read in one sitting and very interested in seeing where it goes within the main series. 

I feel for both the FMC and MMC, as both are clearly in major levels of distress, but I’m excited to see where they’re gonna go… the spice in this short book evidently promises a lot more to come too, which is always a good thing in my books (pardon the reading pun!)

I think the only reason I’d give this a 4 instead of a 5 was because some of the details seemed to be not too necessary (just some constructive criticism as I still enjoyed this a lot! EG: readers know how to make a coffee so the detailed explanation of what Calliope was doing at her shift may have been “unneeded”)

Side note: Calliope appearing in the dreams seemed abrupt, though im not complaining at the spicy dreams😉, but I’m hoping it’s explained more in the main series to come!

For a first time author too, amazing job! I look forward to your next works! <3
