Resumen del Editor

In the struggle for survival...

Meghan's graduation gift is one that any eighteen-year-old would dream of: traveling abroad to England. Her journey turns into more adventure than expected when Meghan meets the mysterious Kiernan and is introduced to a strange society hidden beneath the streets of London.

The fittest win out at the expense of their rivals... When Meghan's life is threatened, she flees the city and seeks sanctuary in a distant village: a place unseen by human eyes for over one hundred years. Not knowing if anyone can be trusted, Meghan tries to determine who is friend, who is foe... and who has captured her heart. Meanwhile, a battle for survival brews all around her.

Started better than it ended

Very good plot. Was very entertaining until about 3 quarters through the story. Not sure why but I think it list its momentum. Seems the author changed her mind about the ending or just up and ended it. Still a good easy read. No obscenities or sexual content.

Perfect read for the entire family...

I enjoyed reading this book. This is my first book by this author and also my first Fae book. I have heard other talk about Fae books, so I am happy to finally read one. This book is perfect for the entire family. It is a clean read too, so nothing embarrassing if neighbors hear it playing.

This is a story about a girl turning 18 and gets to travel. She meets some Fae fairies both light and dark. This story has danger, adventure and paranormal happenings in it. I found this book to be entertaining and light hearted. I look forward to the next book in this series.

The author, Anna Kyss did a great job writing this story. The plot is great and I find her imagination intriguing. The narrator, Meghan Lewis did a good job on the delivery with multiple voices and accents. All in all this is an very interesting book and a new genre for me. Good job!

I received this audio book free of charge in exchange for a honest and unbiased review.

Was a good story

Meghan Lewis is the narrator and does a wonderful job. Her accents are great and she really brings the characters to life.

The story itself is nice and easy to listen to.

The only complaint I would have is that the world building could have been a little better; the beginning was a bit confusing. The whole story seemed kind of rushed to me. The time span in the story is weeks and month going and sometimes it seemed like something is missing.

The characters are nicely written and easy to relate to. Although I have to say that Meghan seems kind of naïve, but maybe that is supposed to be the way.

What I personally didn’t agree with is that Meghan was gone for weeks and months and didn’t miss or contact her family in America; you would think that someone would think that some is wrong when she never calls or even just writes after all that time. Or that she would start to miss her family. But that is just my opinion and maybe that will be addressed in the second book.

Overall, I give it a 3 stars and curious to see what the second book is like.

Great listen

What made the experience of listening to Wings of Shadow the most enjoyable?

The narrator did a great job with all the parts. The story was a great story and made me want to grab book 2

Who was your favorite character and why?

Kiernan was my favorite character cause he was so good and didn't realize it

Really enjoyed the narrator's voice and accents

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Possibly, some people in my creatures book club might enjoy it.

Would you be willing to try another book from Anna Kyss? Why or why not?

Sure, I'm curious to see what happens next. I liked the author's writing style, but hope the future books have more plot development.

What does Meghan Lewis bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Great accents, a comfortable listening pace, and a good sound to her voice. She really brings the characters to life and makes them sound individually interesting.

Could you see Wings of Shadow being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

I think it could make a fun TV show, maybe done by SyFy channel. It made me think of the Lost Girl at times.

Any additional comments?

While I thought the narration was excellent, the plot was a little lacking for me. I guess it wasn't extremely unique for a book with faeries - human gets kidnapped, dark faeries want to do something evil with her, love interest(s) are protecting her and trying to rescue her, there's also light fae, some battles happen, some people die. In a nutshell. I was hoping for a little bit more.

Wings of shadow

Which scene was your favorite?

A very interesting tale of the Fae world. I really enjoyed the different take on the telling of the dark and light fae. The characters were good and by the end I was very eager to hear what happens next. I'm looking forward to reading the next in the series

Kept my interest

Good coming of age story with a twist. I love new takes on old legends and myths. It started off by not revealing too much in the beginning, which made you feel a bit like Meghan, let you stew for a while until problems were resolved in a natural manner. The story had a nice flow, likable, believable characters. I like that it wasn't verbose but would have liked to see a little more character development. I enjoyed the narrator, she had believable accents and a pleasant voice. I look forward to listening to the next book.
