Empire of Shadows by Jacquelyn Benson
5.0
Thank you to NetGalley and Crimson Fox Publishing for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!
I absolutely LOVED this book! Picture The Mummy meets Tarzan meets Sandra Bullock’s The Lost City. It was so different from what I would normally read, and I really enjoyed the dive into the realm of historical fantasy.
Ellie immediately captured my heart with her fierce but dry personality and passion for history and the knowledge that comes from it. Adam was the perfect rugged American counterpart to the proper English lady that Ellie is. The banter is perfect, the slow burn is sloooow but so good, and I just couldn’t get enough of the two of them. The book was really well paced and I loved the action and mystery of it! I also think the author set up the next book really well, and I can’t wait for more!
