Shadow's Bane by Karen Chance
4.0
Dori/Dorina has come so far. It was great to see her come full circle. She's had tremendous character growth throughout the series and we really see her grow in Shadows Bane. Tasked with a job by the Vampire senate, Dori goes into the Fae underworld to unearth a slavery ring. Theres murder, mystery, and a lot of action to keep you on your toes.
I loved seeing Dori and Louis Cesar's relationship grow. I wished we saw even more of him throughout the books but where the two settled at the end made my heart happy. Learning more about how Dorina (Dori's batty vamp side) has had to cope and live was eye opening and gut wrenching at the same time.
This one really took you on a roller coaster of all the feels. My only complaint was that I got a lot more Mircea then I think I needed. It made me understand him more in relationship to the Cassie books and why he always asked for Dori's mother, but there were a lot of flashbacks and they pulled me out of the emotional moments in the story.
All in all a terrific novel. If you're a fan of the series, Shadow's Bane won't disappoint!
