“Whatever you consider to be bad, times it by a thousand, and it’s still not bad enough.”⠀


Shadows is the beginning of the Bayou Magic series that will have you on the edge of your seat right from the beginning of the book.

Brielle is the host of a ghost walking tour and can see the shadows of people who have died. The day Cassian joins her tour, everything in her world seems to change. As more and more shadows start to show up trying to tell Brielle something, she becomes determined to find out what they are trying to tell her. As bodies start popping up, Brielle and Cassian team up together to try to solve what is happening before someone else ends up dead.

This book had me on the edge of my seat through the whole thing with the suspenseful creepiness. It was nice to get back to the paranormal universe as I have been away from it for a while. Brielle and Cassian had an almost instant connection that worked for them. The ending keeps you hooked for book two but was a little too soft for the creepiness of the rest of the book. I do want to pick up Spells to see how the story continues.

Audio: Lee Samuels and Samantha Brentmoor did a great job of telling the story of Cassian and Brielle and Samantha had me thinking she was from Louisiana. Jason Clarke gave me goosebumps with his deep and creepy character.

*I voluntarily requested and reviewed this book*
