Shadow of Light

Ember of Night, Book 2

By: Molly E. Lee

Narrated by: Chris Chambers, Stephanie Rose

I just saved the boy I'm falling for from a gruesome death by a demon. And what does he have to say? I'm the key to opening the gates of Hell. I mean, a thank you would've been nice. Or another scorching-hot, forbidden kiss. Either way, destiny will have to find someone else to torment, because I'm so done.

Or I was, until my little sister starts cackling exorcist-style and stares at me with eyes that aren't hers. They're Marid's, the Greater Demon I just kicked back to the dark realm he came from. Possessing Ray whenever he wants is his ultimate revenge.

The only way to break the tether between them includes a road trip through Hell, a.k.a. the Ather. I quickly discover nothing is as it seems in this place. Yeah, there are realms of terror, greed, and desire, but there's also peace, and a beauty I never knew existed...and it's eerily familiar.

With each obstacle we encounter, I slip a little further into the chaotic energy of my growing dark powers. And when an unexpected betrayal hits me square in the chest, I freefall into them.

Fate painted me as the monster of nightmares, and after this? Destiny is about to learn just how monstrous I can be.

I loved the Vampire Diaries and Lord of the Ring references!

Ever read the second book in a series and thought it was better than the first?

I have. The second book in the Ember of Night trilogy, A Shadow of Light by Molly E Lee is intoxicating!

A Shadow of Light pulled me into the demon realms and straight into Draven’s arms. I may have a new book boyfriend. A mysterious, sexy syphon from a demon realm and fated soulmates? This book hit all the high points for me.

Although, the book does drag a little in the middle, Lee turns it all around. She writes a fantastic ending, a cliffhanger ending! Lee is the queen of cliffhangers! I can’t handle this ending! I’m so excited to read the final book in the trilogy!

So, with syphons, fated soulmates, magical realms, powers, and a strong, female protagonist, I highly recommend this to fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. Lee’s writing style is somewhat similar.

Thank you so much to Entangled Teen and Netgalley for the opportunity to review this book. Thank you, Molly for the opportunity to review your book! I loved the Vampire Diaries and Lord of the Ring references!
