Review: Sins of the Shadow Walkers by C.L. Bright by Cassandra Lawson 4 of 5 stars

Sins of the Shadow Walkers by C.L. Bright by Cassandra Lawson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Juliet is very sceptical of her new Shadow Walker allies especially when it comes to the stories she has been told about her own origins. Filled with doubt and confusion she clings to the only thing she is sure of - she needs to return to the Heathergate Refuge to help Dante and her people who are all inside the protective wards. She knows that seeking help from any spellcasters is risky when she is being hunted by the Verdugo family but she has no choice. Will her new allies help her to reunite with Dante or will they betray her and destroy both her and everyone who she loves?

This was definitely a dramatic end to the trilogy and definitely contained some surprises as well as twists and turns. I loved the way that Juliet has to often think on her feet but thankfully judged risk well enough that it generally worked out. It was clearly written and easy to read and understand. A great ending to the story that I really enjoyed.

Review: Beyond the Black Mist by C.L. Bright by Cassandra Lawson 5 of 5 stars

Beyond the Black Mist by C.L. Bright by Cassandra Lawson 
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Juliet has fought her destiny but is finally ready to take her place as the future leader of the Heathergate Refuge but there is one thing that matters more - finding Dante. With the help of some new allies, there are trying to make their way back to each other but their enemies are closing in - can they find their happiness and can Juliet make it back to her home in time to stop her treacherous stepmother?

This was full of twists, turns, crosses and doublecrosses as Juliet and Dante finally sorted out the reasons why they were apart and why they really needed to be together in the future (no matter what anyone else said). I loved the final showdown and how some of those events were a complete surprise to both the characters as well as the reader. Well written and easy to read/understand. Contains some sexual content. I can't wait to read the next book in the series now.

Review: The Spellcaster's Trap by C.L. Bright by Cassandra Lawson 5 of 5 stars

The Spellcaster's Trap by C.L. Bright by Cassandra Lawson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shifter Juliette is 17 and destined to become the leader of the Heathergate Refuge when her father is no longer in charge. Living in the refuge she has never had to worry about being hunted by a spellcaster nor being enslaved as a familiar by one of them. However, when someone betrays her everything changes and when she wakes up she is caught in a spellcaster's trap and with her wristband missing she has no way to identify herself if she were able to get back home. Then she meets warlock Dante from the Azuredale hunter family and he becomes a surprising ally. When he finds her, he cannot deny the strange connection that exists between them. Will Dante be able to help Juliet return to the Heathergate Refuge to take her revenge on the traitors who left her for dead or will their unlikely alliance end in tragedy for them both?

I really enjoyed this start to the series which was suitably dramatic and very much a twist on the Romeo and Juliette story. I loved the relationship between Dante and Juliette and the way that they soon started to rely on each other. Dante's siblings were a very interesting and useful addition to the story. The ending of the book was a bit of a cliffhanger and I'm dying to know what happens next. Well written, easy to read and understand.
