So...the comparison to X-Men is spot on...like if the X-Men were to enter an MMA fighting contest to see who was left in the end. I wasn't entirely into this...but that was probably all me. When you listen to about a book a day, sometimes certain books fall through the cracks. Looking back on it, I still think it was a solid story and if she never writes the second book in the series; I can say that this ended in a way that gives perfect closure.

AudiobookingWithLeah Yes, there is some romance, but it really takes a back seat to the friendships that are cultivated throughout, and those are what really shines in this story. The narration is not quite a favorite...but it's solid. 3y

I enjoyed Katharyn Blair‘s debut a lot. Vesper felt like a great protagonist, and her progression as a fighter and as a person felt well-handled to me. There were a couple plot points that bothered me. Among them was a message left on Sam‘s wall to him that only an oddity could read, and he‘s not an oddity. This is a series, so hopefully that will get explained in a later book. I‘d give this book ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2. #UrbanFantasy #YA #KatharynBlair

Wicket is keeping me and Sheri company as we read in bed tonight, but what he really wants is for us to turn off the lights and go to sleep. #DogsOfLitsy

This gave me a good chuckle and certainly sets the tone for this book and the mess Vesper has landed in with these San Francisco oddities. #YA #youngadult #urbanfantasy

LibrarianRyan I now must read that book. 5y
BillBlume @LibrarianRyan I‘m really enjoying it, so far. I hope the rest of the ride will prove as entertaining. 🤞 5y

So last night, I started reading The Beckoning Shadow, and in the mail today was a postcard signed by the author thanking me for having preordered her book. Freaky! #Preorder #YA #youngadult #KatharynBlair

I‘ve been struggling with a book hangover after finishing Wilder Girls, and I think I‘ve finally found the cure in Katharyn Blair‘s The Beckoning Shadow. Had this on my shelf for a while, and last night, it finally forced its way into my hands. Got up to chapter four last night, and I‘m digging it so far. 👍

While this book doesn‘t bring anything completely new to the table, I liked it all the same. It was a little slow to start in getting interesting but by the time Vesper comes across the Tournament of the Unraveling things kick up a notch. The book turns to the tournament and the Oddities (those with powers) and an underlying second story takes form. Clever friendships are begrudgingly created, romance grows and I forward to book 2.

If I wasn't paying attention I might think this was a sequel to Poet X, but that is an entirely different author. However i bet they have the same cover designer. I love this cover. The purples, smoke, and dirty red. Evocative.

TheBookAddict Just saw an Epic Reads video on Instagram mentioning this book. It sounds like it‘s an awesome story. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I don‘t know why I watch those videos, it just makes my TBR grow and grow 😔. But I enjoy watching Michael talk and get all excited about books. 😆 5y
LibrarianRyan @TheBookAddict I get it. When I get board I go down the you tube book tailer hole. 5y
TheBookAddict @LibrarianRyan yeah, it‘s hard to get out of it. 😆 🤦🏽‍♀️ 5y

I got this ebook ARC from #Edelweiss in exchange for my honest review.
It is due to release July 2, 2019.

This books gets 5 out of 5 stars! I really didnt know what to expect going in, I just knew I loved the gorgeous cover, but it blew me away! I loved the character growth Vesper, our main gal, goes through and the internal struggle she fought with throughout the whole book. It was done wonderfully and I connected instantly with Vesper.

CoffeeK8 Amazing cover! 5y
