A review by roaringmamalion
The Girl in His Shadow, by Audrey Blake

5.0

Completed as a blend of audio and ebook - the audio is beautifully narrated, and I would love to listen to the sequel! The scientific, bordering on gruesome, details of various, gristly medical procedures are in equal parts fascinating and triggering. As someone with a complex medical history, I find these types of stories inexplicably engaging. Nora is a strong, complex character whom I look forward to getting to know in future stories - while her circumstances are unusual, her desires for freedom, education, and respect are not. I enjoy her interactions with the somewhat clueless but brilliant Dr. Croft and the innocent, but learning, Dr. Gibson. I’m excited to see Nora continue her journey of medical discovery.
