THIS BOOK CHANGED ME!!! 

I found this book under a recommended for you section and I am grateful I did. I can not believe I did not hear about this book until after it was published.

I think To Kill A Shadow was so well written and paced fantastically. I did enjoy that by Chapter 4, Kiara was chosen for the Knights and we were into the story full speed. It definitely was a medium-ish paced tale from there, but I loved that. The buildup of going into the Mist was brilliant. By the time we reached halfway through the book, the story was established well. 

This story had a lot of dark elements to it and I was here for it. A story where nobody is safe from the end always makes you nervous. The way

character deaths were done and detailed honestly made the story even better. Yes, that is wild to say, but I like that nothing was off limits. I liked that you in ways gained a liking or relationship as a reader to these characters and they were ripped (literally) away from you just as fast. You could feel with the other characters and their heartache. I think what made even more painful was how close they all truly became.

The theme of friendship and trust played huge roles in this book. I LOVED that. I was so happy to see great friendships growing as the story progressed. I honestly felt that these two themes played a way more bigger part in the story than romance. Romance was there, but it was not the main focus.

Another thing I loved a lot reading this was how well the characters were laid out. You understood each one and their personalities yet there still was a mystery to them. KIARA AND JUDE!!! THE LEGENDS THAT YOU ARE!!! I can not even begin to explain how much and how quickly I fell in love with these two. Their slow burn romance... I could applaud it. Katherine Quinn developed their story so well. I really appreciated that yes, you know they are in love, but it was not the main focus of their story. The way they felt for each other helped dictate decisions they made through the story.

I really enjoyed how the way they felt for each other tied right into the story.

I really loved that Kiara and Jude had a connection, but they also stood so well as their individual selves. Their banter was everything. 

The POV switching between Kiara and Jude flowed really well. This was one of those books I hihgly enjoyed having a duel POV. It definitely helped understand them as characters better reading about their inner thoughts.

I loved this book. I love these characters. And I can not wait to read the sequel, but I am also fearing for my life. So yes, please read this book.
