Week 44 Review: A Shift in Darkness

From Goodreads:

Before she was captured. Before she was saved. Nemain went looking for magic... and found monsters instead.

Nemain has been hunting the merciless warlock Sebastian for decades. As a centuries-old feline shapeshifter, she is well acquainted with dangerous hunts. Unfortunately Sebastian knows her well, and he is always one step ahead. Nemain refuses to give up despite the toll it's taking on her body and soul.

After ignoring their pleas for her to take a rest, Nemain's friends take matters into their own hands and arrange an easy job. To further tempt her to accept, they sweetens the deal – take the job and they'll give her a promising lead on Sebastian's whereabouts when she returns. Realizing that her friends might have a point, and this is the break she so desperately needs, Nemain agrees to escort the magic-barren Kalari back to their home realm on a quest to find their lost magic.

But the realm that had been decimated by volcanic activity isn't the empty wasteland Nemain was told it was. Something still lurks there. Something monstrous… and hungry.

This is a prequel novella to the Lost Legacies series and takes place directly before the events of A Shift in Shadows.

My Review:
I had such a great time reading this book! I really enjoyed getting to know this world and these characters, and I'm so excited to continue on with this series! That ending, I mean, man, yeah, I need to know what's going to happen next! 

This world of magical creatures, and different realms, and devourers, it was so interesting to read about! Nemain with her powers and her secrets, and her vengeance, really bought it to life, and I enjoyed getting to know her and this world! 

Watching her on this adventure, a detour for her to rest before continuing on with her justifiable revenge, was a great introduction, and I had a great time going along with it! She talks about how she's pretty dark, and that's understandable, what she's been through, and how she holds onto her grievances. And that she's working with empaths, that's a pretty important part of her!

That ending is such a cliffhanger! With what we've been told, she's in a pretty bad situation, being held captive by her ex-lover, and current enemy. I need to know how she's going to get out, because she needs to! The need to know is burning! 

Loved reading this story and I can't wait to read book 1!
