Intriguing

I am extremely glad I took chance on this book. Generally, I prefer to wait until there is a least two books, preferably more, when starting a new series. Estes expertly wove an intriguing tale in this blend of murder/mystery and magic. Took me a while to really understand the shade concept. Part of it is how the author blended the revelation of the shades into the story, revealing a bit at a time. By the time I was halfway through the story, I was thoroughly hooked. I am a big fan of TGR and he certainly does not disappoint here. He is magnificent. The characters are complex, all too human, but wonderfully portrayed. Yes, it ends somewhat abruptly but is well set up for the next book, which hopefully will come soon. When the story gears up, it is a full sprint to the end. No language but a fair amount of violence but nothing over the top for this genre. Most highly recommended.

the disciption of this book is a lie

could have been an interesting story if it wasn't destroyed by a Mary Sue

Narrator as usual great

Always enjoy Tim Gerald Reynolds narrating. The story seem to have a lot lacking. I can't put my finger on why I feel that way
