The Shadows by Alex North
5.0

And to think I almost skipped the month that this was a BOTM option. I am s glad that I swallowed the disappointment of the book I was hoping for not being an option and gave this one a try.

Those statements should illustrate how much I enjoyed this book. It as a suspenseful ride of so many twists and turns that I weren't sure where I would end up. I have to say that I did not see anything coming, although to be fair I am working on not doing that when reading to avoid spoiling it for myself. That said I don't think I could have guessed everything that happened here even if I had tried to. Towards the end when everything was coming together I thought, and said, more than one 'adult word'.

The only thing I can see being divisive is the very ending, to which I say, it would be exceedingly difficult to bring something like this all together in a way that will make everyone happy. While I wasn't necessarily overjoyed with it, it didn't take away I can't say too much more since I don't want to spoil it for everyone. But I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am going to actively seek out the other book this author wrote under this name. For me five out of five would recommend.
