Sanctuary of the Shadow

so-so

I admit I bought this book because it's gorgeous, especially the splayed edges.
Aside from that, I thought it was going to be more fantasy, but it was really dirty. There were sex scenes that just seemed to go on and on, and the details š¤¦š¸¼ā€¨ā™€ļø¸
Somewhere in there is a story about two different human hybrids that fall in love.

Nessavamusic I almost bought this because it was so pretty, but checked Goodreads and it was not reviewed well! 2mo

Katy Loo and I had high hopes for this one. It was one that came so close to delivering but the author seemed to pull back when she should've pushed forward. It's a pretty book but it was an easy one to put down and pick up something else. Not what you want with a fantasy romance. #LittensLoveRomance #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

I‘m all for romance in fantasy & the books Entangled puts out are gorgeousā€¦BUTā€¦I like fully devoted worlds, imaginative magic systems, real stakes and/or a story I simply cannot put down even if I know exactly how it is going to play out along with the romance. All of it together. The premise of this book had potential which was not realized, everythingā€”world, magic, stakes, even the charactersā€”felt underdeveloped. Entertaining-ish, not memorable.

We‘re under a winter storm warning and expecting 12 inches of snow followed by brutal subzero cold. The refrigerator is stocked, I don‘t have to leave the house, and it‘s a long weekend. Time to settle in with a good book, one that brings the sun with it!

I participated in a Read-a-long with Entangled Insiders for this title.

I had high hopes for this title. The blurb, cover, and sprayed edges sucked me in so I was hoping this was going to be a title I loved. Unfortunately, it fell short for me. Too many holes and not enough development to make much sense when I finally got to the end.
