Nemain is a multifaceted character. Shifter, magic wielder, hidden talents and an enigma. Loved the mystery surrounding her, her guardian, the great side characters. Worldbuilding could have been fleshed out, but the story was good. Definitely get the next book. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC from Netgalley.

Thank you so much to NetGalley for sharing an ARC of A Shift in Shadows in exchange for an honest review.

This novel is a really fun and quick read, for fans of contemporary fantasy I think this would be right up their street. It's gritty and dark, and doesn't pull any punches when it comes to the realities of living in a world filled with paranormal creatures.

I loved Nemain and her complicated relationships with those around her. She was a really fun and well rounded main character.

I'm not a massive contemporary fantasy lover, I much prefer high fantasy but I did enjoy this book even if it wasn't 100% for me. If you're a fan of The Vampire Diaries, I think this would be the perfect grown-up read for you.

It's a great first book in a series and I'm excited to see where the book goes.

Ìt took a while to get into the storyline. I found the beginning of thee world building chaotic. The author throws the reader in to sink or swim. There is a hodgepodge of magical beings from demons to shifters to fae, Despite that, I am glad I stuck with it.

The MC is tough. She had to be to experience the trauma she went through. Nonetheless she is relateable, with a positive side.

I hope t get that the author expands the secondary characters and that we learn more of their histories

I look forward to the next in in the series.

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. I am leaving my honest review.

this was a great start to a shifters series, I enjoyed going through this journey and getting to know these characters. It was a lot of fun and I look forward to more from the series.

A Shift in Shadows had the building blocks for success, but unfortunately fell short in the execution.

The world, magic and paranormal creatures were all interesting, but the character building and growth didn’t match the age group this is marketed towards.

Nemain, the main character, is the exact same person on the first and last page, there was no character progression.

I had hoped the romance in this would be able to save the characters, but unfortunately that also fell flat.

This book has promise, but the characters needs work.

Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for allowing me to read this book for free in exchange for a review.
I really liked this book I thought it was well laid out and I liked the characters this is my genre of book and I would love to read more t=from this author as I have not read from her before and I liked her descriptions.

Great world building, This story starts off with heroine captured and hopeless, until she is rescued. by Magos.. I loved the characters the dialogue was witty and I can't wait for the next book.
