A review by jess_midwest_kindleworm
Of Shadow And Light by Melissa McSherry

5.0

“I like to be the one in control, I need to dominate, but with her, right now, she needs this. We need this, and I will gladly watch Askia fall if it means we can be together.” 

“You’re the moon to my darkness, Darakai” 

Ahh! This may have been a debut novel for Melissa but this was my first novel dipping my toes into the realm of dark fantasy romance and OH. MY. GOODNESS. If you’ve never read it, this is a good one to start on. 

This story is beautifully written and shows the tale of arranged marriage between kingdoms, death of people loved, relationships built and lost, and so, so much more. 

I can’t even begin to pour into words how excited I am for book 2 to find out what happens. And since I won’t spoil the surprise, go on, go read it. You won’t regret it. I promise!
