Review:
"Shadow, shadow void of light. Accept this offering tonight".
Soooo, what's the first thing that came to mind when I was done reading Shadow Shadow you ask? Why, how soon can this book be released so I can put it in my library system, of course.
I actually had a lot of fun reading this book and I even got kinda creeped out at some parts, which is a good thing. Of course, with all books comes pro's and con's and with the first book in the Shadow Pines Trilogy my con's are pretty much all personal preference rather than anything substantial that would take away from enjoying the storyline.
There were only a couple of inconsistencies throughout the novel. One of them catching my attention right after I read this part:
"Teaghan, you don't have to leave. We're friends now, and just because we don't agree on something doesn't mean we can't hang out."
..........exceeeeeeept for the fact that Teaghan just basically banished/killed/murdered someone. I don't think that someone I just started being friends with would be this understanding. While Harley may feel bad for Teaghan, I really don't think she would just be so nonchalant about Teaghan killing someone especially since this was the first time someone in their group used the boxes that Ava-Kaya gave them.
That little section towards the middle of the book is really the only odd thing that stood out to me.
Everything else...OH MY CRIPES. I flew through this book and cannot stop telling my girlfriend that I want to get this book for my library because I just know it would be a hit. The story progression is just so smooth that there was not a bump in any of my reading and not once did I second guess if I wanted to actually be reading this.
The best thing about the characters in this book is that the reader has a chance to connect with at least one of them. There is the outcast, the nerd, the jock, the smart one, and the cheerleader and then you have many different types of family statuses throughout the story. While most people enjoy reading things that are completely opposite from their own life, sometimes it is nice to experience and kind of understand what other people may be going through.
All-in-all I enjoyed this story so much and I cannot wait until the rest of the trilogy is written and released!
