A review by terrivansteen
What Lies Within Masks & Shadows by Nicolle May

5.0

Omg I loved this book so much!!! The slow burn enemies to lovers is done so well. Sometimes I feel like it can be too slow but with this book, not at all. It was slow yes but it was so so respectful that it made me fall in love with Garrik and Alora even more! I think Nicolle did a fantastic job at exploring the trauma in her characters and I think she did an exceptional job of showing us Garriks trauma. It was beautiful to watch him slowly open up. I loved all the supporting characters also and they are the epitome of found family. Everyone just taking everyone else for exactly who they are, flaws and all. The way true friendship should be. 

I was already excited to read the next book when it comes out but the cliffhanger on the end made me become incredibly impatient to read it 🙈
