The Shadows by J.R. Ward

4.0

Most of this book was closer to 3⭐️ for me, but there was a part that made me cry and I really liked the ending so that brought it up to 4⭐️. Similar to other books in this series the love happened too instantly. There’s very little will they, won’t they. They pretty much just do.

I did really like the dates that Trez took Selena on, especially the amusement park one, and that Selena is a total adrenaline junkie.

The found family aspect was great and the fact that the Brotherhood was willing to go to war for Trez and Iam was really heartwarming.

“She wants a war? I’ll give her one—and I guarantee that a scorched-earth policy is going to look like a Sunday fucking dinner compared to what I’m prepared to do to her if she tries to take our boy.” - Wrath

And as I mentioned, I really liked the ending. I found it exciting and it wasn’t the typical happy ending most people probably would expect, which was refreshing.
