Week 47 Review: A Shift in Shadows

From Goodreads:

Secrets can only stay hidden in the shadows for so long.

Nemain is a feline shapeshifter with dangerous skills and even more dangerous magic. Her entire life she has hidden her magic from the fae, daemons, and every other being that inhabits the human realm and beyond. But now her former lover turned enemy, Sebastian, is hot on her trail after she escaped from him with the help of an old friend. The warlock is relentless in his pursuit…and he knows Nemain's secret.

Seeking refuge in the daemon-run town of Emerald Bay on the Washington coast, Nemain works with her friends to ensure she is finally ready to face Sebastian when he finds her. It's only a matter of time until he does. But soon she learns it's not just Sebastian after her, the leaders of the warlocks know about her magic and they now seek her as well. To make matters worse, they've enlisted the vampires to help them.

With her enemies closing in around her, Nemain must fight to keep herself free and her loved ones safe. All while keeping her magic a secret. Because if the fae and daemons find out about her magic and what she truly is, they won't want to capture her. Nemain poses too great of a threat to be allowed to live, if her secrets become known….Nemain's life will be forfeit.

My Review:
I had such a great time reading this book! I really enjoyed the prequel, which really set up my interest in this book beyond what the synopsis gave me. And oh, it was such a fantastic story, I had such a great time following Nemain as her life got more and more complicated!

I'm glad that the rescue was right away, and didn't spend much time on it, that this book is more of the after, of dealing with that pain, but still wanting that revenge for the death of her love, and all the other people he's killed to get her back. Her life was in state of upheaval, and oh, I really enjoyed getting her story!

Seeing where she is after she's had time to recover, the people in her life that are part of her support system, was really great. But that Sebastian is gearing up, and is working with the warlocks and the vampires, puts her secrets at risk of being found out, which could have deadly consequences. Which becomes more and more likely, the more people that find out about them...

That epilogue though? I'm so excited to see what that means, like who is this couple that have been banished? How are they connected, and what is coming up that Nemain is going to have to face? I have so many questions that I can't wait to be answered! 

Loved reading this book and I can't wait to continue on with the series!
