OK, so I got 40 posts in 7 days, and it was another quiet week, the first full week without Jax, and it's hard, getting used to the new normal, because I really only saw him on the weekends, only had 2 nights where I could've, would've had him, but don't. But I've also laughed. Mainly, because I got to be there, I got to say goodbye, that's really helped, this is the first out of the 3 that I've gotten that. What about you guys? Happy reading!

So this week I want to read nothing planned! 

Week 33 Review: Land of Shadow

From Goodreads:

Dr. Georgia Clark works to find a cure for the plague that has ravaged humanity and ended civilizations. Georgia's sister matches her efforts, but instead of seeking a cure through science, Juno seeks salvation through power. When superhumans emerge from the shadows, their emissary, Valen Dragonis, offers what humanity has failed to discover on its an opportunity to survive.

Valen becomes Georgia's only source for the lifesaving blood dubbed "Juno's Miracle." Focused on her work, she doesn't realize his claws are sinking deeper and deeper as he traps her in his twisted grasp.

The cure and power. Pleasure and pain. Valen offers all this and more. But the vampires never intended to give their help for free…

Land of Shadow is a full-length dark romance and is the second of the Fall of Dawn trilogy. This series is for listeners who enjoy dark, atmospheric elements, horrormance, and an engrossing plot that drags you in and refuses to let you claw your way out.

Trigger Please check the preface for all triggers. This is a horrormance, so have a care if you're squeamish.

My Review:
I'm so glad that we got to see this point of time, of the memories that Georgia was missing. And has me itching for the 3rd and probably final book, to see what's going to happen after the events of the first book!
