Dragon Shadow by Alicia WolfeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Many years ago the Fae came to the human world and subsequently that world changed. Jade McClaren and her sister Ruby make their living stealing magical items from bad guys in New York and ensuring they are sold on to good people only. However Jade is not just human – she is also a half shifter. During one of those thefts she attracts the attention of both a number of bad people and one of the Fae-Knights (Davril Stormguard). Davril is currently on a mission to get to the bottom of something which could destroy the Fae-Lord (and maybe the world as we know it). Jade might know the secret to stopping it, but she wants nothing to do with him as he is basically the same as a cop (especially as he handcuffs her and then puts her in prison). However she has a problem – she needs to work with him so she can saver her sister and hopefully clear her own name at the same time. During this they will encounter demons, vampires, witches and worse things – can they learn to trust each other and save everyone?
WOW – LOVED this story. It was full on action throughout the story interspersed with more tender moments where emotions were more involved. The magical elements were well described and felt that they were necessary in the story and were relevant and not just there for the hell of it. Everything was well written and clear and easy to understand and feel. The trust between them were well written and it was nice to see it build, then because it was still fragile have a few hiccups, then build again (very much like real life). Now I need for the author to write the next instalment in the story as I want to know both what happens in the story AND what happens next between Jade and Davril – surely they will become romantically involved at some point in the future (please!!).
