Book Review- Shadow Rising (Shadow Wars Book 1)
I received this book from the Authors in exchange for an honest review. This post contains affiliate links which means that if you make a purchase through the link I receive a small compensation at no additional cost to you.
This story was Unexceptionally magical. It has everything! New and old best friends, a hot simmering romance, and a brand new take on the paranormal.
There are two types of magicals – the Sun class, and the Moon class. After the vicious Shadow War a hundred years before, the classes were separated. Sun magicals agreed to roam the daylight hours, and let the Moon magicals walk the streets at night.
Theia Foxglove is an Elkie.
Technically Sun class, but with her elflike ears, and badass bow, she was born to live in the woods of upstate New York, and doesn’t give two craps about Sun/Moon politics. And she was happy doing just that, thank you very much, until her dad died and her mom found a new guy to love, William Geiser – the Sun Mayor of New York City…
Now she’s being sent to Zenith Academy, a supernatural school in the Big Apple for Sun class magicals – Celestials, Mages, the elite of the elite. And she hates everything about it. Except learning to shoot white orbs from her hands. Even Theia admits that that’s kinda cool…
But soon she stumbles across a plot to reignite the Shadow Wars all over again, and Theia suspects her soon-to-be stepdad is right in the middle of it.
Proving it, though, will be another question entirely…
What I liked Loved about this book!
Have you ever met a character in a story that you felt you could be best friends with and wished to your higher power that she was a real person just so you could high-five her?
Well, I have but only a handful of times. This time included. Gabby Fawkes and Charlie Soul did such a great job with the character development in this story that I just wanted to high-five Theia!
Theia Foxglove is not your typical girl. Yes, she has that typical teenage angst that we all have experienced. But she just lost her dad a year ago, and her mom has decided to be a bitch and remarry the Sun Mayor of New York City…All without Theia even knowing what was happening.
But Theia remains true to herself and her friendships even when facing murder attempts. This girl is a badass Elkie and an all-star when it comes to morals and values. I love that she is true to herself and her beliefs.
This book is a serious Must Read for any supernatural paranormal lover!
