Cast in Shadows by Alice Winters
5.0

Fantastic start to a new series.

Well this book just sucked me in, held on tight and wouldn’t let me go. So many interesting things happening plot wise. The battle between dark and light magic users, the mystery of what/who Andras is, why the sweet and selfless Bastian is treated so poorly by his family, the unknown “dark magic man” and the budding attraction between Andras and Bastian that is at times super cute and super hilarious with plenty of sass! The highlight function of my kindle was put to good use numerous times.

I loved the two very likeable main characters who are well supported by the interesting side characters. This is a slow burn low heat romance perfectly balanced with the action of magic users battling it out in an urban setting. There’s a HFN ending for Andras and Bastian whilst the unknown “dark magic man” storyline is far from over and I can’t wait for more!
