The Shadow Man by Helen Sarah Fields
4.0

I love Helen Fields books. The Luc & Ava series is one of my favourites. As with some of her other books, I found this one a bit slow to get into. However, once it got going I was hooked. Connie and Baarda took a bit to grow on me as I wasn’t sure about their characters to start with but by the end I loved them and would love to see more of this duo. Connie is such an interesting character and I really enjoyed her take on the case.

The case itself was creepy. Meggie was my absolute favourite character and I think she was written extremely well. You don’t often get great child characters. I also loved that there was a wheelchair user. There were a few things that were a bit off like the fact that he was using the same wheelchair to get around and play wheelchair basketball which doesn’t happen. They are two very different chairs. However, overall it was great to see a badass disabled character. The ending was extremely dramatic (a little bit gross) and I honestly had no idea what was going to happen. The bad guys description was terrifying and watching him unravel had me hooked. Such an interesting case and pretty different from any I’ve read before.

I received a copy of the ebook via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
