The Shadows by J.R. Ward
3.0
*Spoilers*
I finally managed to plow through this after getting stuck in a reading slump.
I have to be honest, in my opinion, not the best in the series. I found it difficult to read as I found the pacing a bit slow. I felt Selena was a bit bland as a character, and often needed Trez to define who she was, though she did develop as a character through the book.
I was waiting for Ward to cheat the death, as she has done in the previous books, but I was actually quite shocked to find that she actually kept to Selena's illness and actually had her die. I was psyching myself up to read that the other members of the brotherhood had a found a cure for Selena and that she and Trez would live happily ever after.
Nope, completely wrong.
It definitely picked up near the end though.
I'm excited to see how the Legacy series will pan out, and I cannot wait to revisit Rhage in The Beast!
