3.5 STARS
I have to admit to mixed feelings on this book.
I did like both Olivia and Jarvis and their long history of knowing each other. But there were times that I just felt like the story between them stalled. Of course, I know that Jarvis was trying to protect Olivia and she was seeing him through the lens of a brother like affection. That was well done although it didn't pull me in as much as I had hoped.
The Shadows added the dimensions of danger as did the enemy who has been after Jarvis for years. Are they the same people or is there another enemy? Some questions are answered about the Shadows but there was also a door or two left open. The one door involves Hades and I'm sure leads to another book.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from Booksprout. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
