Publisher's Summary

Show me your darkness, and I'll show you mine.

Another pretty cage.

Whisked away to the Fire Court, Scarlett Monrhoe finds herself in the hands of the man who killed her mother. The Prince of Fire. Thrust amongst the Fae court she loathes, she is at their mercy. She doesn’t know what plans he has for her, but she has plans of her own. She just hasn’t decided how thoroughly she wants to break him yet. If only he didn’t tempt her with every breath, every touch, every kiss. It’s another dangerous game that has her wondering if she will be the one irreparably broken in the end.

Another dangerous game.

The Fae Queen has plans of her own. She’s determined to get to Scarlett in any way she can, and that includes using a mortal prince that followed the lost Fae princess across the border. Crown Prince Callan is desperate to get Scarlett back from the Fire Prince and return to Baylorin. The question is, what is he willing to sacrifice for the Wraith he loves who’s trailed by shadows?

Another race against time.

Every day that passes, Lord Tyndell and Mikale get closer to finding where she is hidden in the Fire Court. Every day that passes puts those Scarlett left behind in more danger. Every day that passes, more secrets are revealed. Truth has been buried in history that has long-since been rewritten, but in order to separate facts from lies, they will be forced to cross other borders and seek answers from kingdoms far more terrifying than the Fire Court.

The stars are fading.

The shadows are calling.

The darkness threatens everything.

Lady of Shadows is book 2 of 5 in the Lady of Darkness series. It is a dark new adult fantasy romance novel, and may contain content some listeners find triggering. Fans of Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentraut, and Raven Kennedy will fall in love with this series.

Persevered through the drama - plot back on track.

I rated book 1, Lady of Darkness, as a 4.5 stars (1.5/5🌶)

I don't normally read YA/New Adult, but was surprised in all the ways by how thoroughly I adored book 1, that I simply had to dive head first into this book. I will say, this book started strong. It is a long book, and as many new adult books trend towards, readers really start to experience the cyclical emotional/relationship drama. As a mature woman, I tired of this constant merry-go-round quickly and felt the overall plot was lost for a good time.

Thankfully, the plot picks up again and was able to redeem the book. There is a huge addition of new characters while most of the setting is in a new realm. We get to see the introduction of more races, and slowly piece together a web of conspiracy.

This book had increased spice - I'll give it a 2.5/5 🌶. It also tells the story from more character perspectives, which I think contributes to greater attachment to and understanding of the characters.

I again listened to the audio version of the book, and love the contributions of a male lead for male characters. Sadly, the next books aren't yet available in audio format.

I sincerely hope the immature relationship drama has reached it's peak and we can leave it here. Nothing discredits the idea of "ancient, immortal beings" faster than one acting like a child.

Love the story - but WHY the male voice?!?

I LOVE this book and I loved the female narrator for the first book. I even like the male narrator in this book…but I HATE when male narrators do the female voice. Any sexiness goes out the window - it feels mocking somehow. It would just be better to have a female do all the voices.

Bait and switch

Unfortunately, had to DNF this book 3/4 through the second in the series.
I was tempted by a story about an assassin with a cool name: “Deaths Maiden”, but was given a whiney, entitled brat, who at every little inconvenience she flew off the handle. She’s easily swayed against ppl she cares for, by the villain. No poker face, no analyzing, just immediate emotional response.
She’s either shut down completely or having a temper tantrum. She waxes and wanes about not wanting secrets kept from her, but she keeps the most secrets.
After yet another verbal lashing to the MMC (who is trying to be respectful and help her heal/find herself), it took you right out of the story and couldn’t get back into it.
