A review by stardustpelin
The Library of Shadows by Rachel Moore

2.0

When I see a paranormal ghost fantasy with dark academia vibes I expect more. 

The teenage high school girl we all know meets a library ghost who is trying to get back to life. The Book of Fades is the key to all. 

Mateo and Este are great. And this book is beautifully written. But I've read too many dark romances and now I look forward to see some red flags. Where are they? Mmc is mysterious but kind and caring while fmc is intelligent and patient so she's carefully listening and answering to people instead of having a personality crisis. I'm not used to reading soft books hahahahah

But the wait is too long. I wanted Este to bring Mateo back to life earlier. He did his waiting for a long time. But finally when the resurrection time came it was after 90%

If the side events were more interesting, maybe I wouldn't find it boring, but I found the romantic and mystery elements missing.
