The electrifying sequel to the acclaimed urban fantasies The Better Part of Darkness, The Darkest Edge of Dawn, and The Hour of Dust and Ashes!
After filling out mountains of paperwork, Detective Charlie Madigan sets out for a death-defying trip into heavenly Elysia to rescue her partner Hank and bring the siren home. Of course, she doesn’t expect to leave behind an all out siren revolution or return home to find that jinn crime boss, Grigori Tennin, has begun a massive search for the divine being, Ahkneri. Tennin’s tactics set off a chain reaction that puts Charlie in the crosshairs of the shadowy creature known as Death and awakens Ahkneri from her long sleep. And when Vengeance rises, Atlanta will never be the same.
Goodreads Summary
Charlie Madigan clinched this book as wonderful for me. She is funny, smart, and brave. She's literally one of those people who knows what they want and goes for it. Hank, Charlie's partner, has been forced back to his home. He's under suspicion of treason. Charlie and Hank have had a back and forth relationship going for quite some time now, but Charlie must make a decision-and she decides to go for Hank! Their romance was a terrific addition to an already action-packed novel.
Shadows Before the Sun is already quite far into the series and readers should try to read in order if they want to understand the plot and characters. This book advances the plot and provides the reader with more insights into the characters, especially Charlie. With Charlie on a rescue mission to save Hank, will Atlanta survive without her help?
All of the characters were very well-developed. Alessandra's character really reaches her full potential; she is stubborn and has a bit of an air about her, but the reader will learn more about her mysterious ways. There are some new characters in this book, the reader will enjoy that the author details them nicely. However, some of the characters that the reader may be used to, such as Rex, are either barely in the novel or not in this one at all! Overall, this book is definitely worth picking up if the reader is a fan of the series.

I kind of skimmed this, since I didn't want to spoil the series. Alessandra seems to be a pretty-bad ass character though.
-

About Me

- Chicago, Illinois, United States
- I'm a young college student who has probably read over 5000 books over the course of my short life; some of the books were classics, some of the books were terrific, and some of the books were...misses. Even with the latter part I will always believe in the power of books to completely remove the reader from his/her present reality. Long Live Books! I would love to read and review books from just about any genre. To contact me: edysicecreamlover18 AT gmail DOT com Thank you for your interest! At this time, I can only accept paperback or hardcover. The finished review copies I receive are either kept in my personal collection or donated to several libaries, schools, or charities-I have no control over the finished review copies after donation. *I claim no ownership for any images used on this site.
