The Beckoning Shadow by Katharyn Blair
4.0
❐ Overall Rating 4¼ | Narration 4¼
❐ Narrated by Amanda Dolan
❐ Listening Length ➯ 11H 29M
❐ The Beckoning Shadow #1
❐ Superhero/Freaks
❐ Part Urban Fantasy, Part Science Fiction, Part Contemporary
❐ With some romance
So...the comparison to X-Men is spot on...like if the X-Men (so sexist) were to enter an MMA fighting contest to see who was left in the end. I wasn't entirely into this...but that was probably all me...when you listen to about a book a day....sometimes certain books fall through the cracks. Looking back on it, I still think it was a solid story and if she never writes the second book in the series; I can say that this ended in a way that gives perfect closure. Yes, there is some romance, but it really takes a back seat to the friendships that are cultivated throughout, and those are what really shines in this story. The narration is not quite a favorite...but it's solid.
