Shadow Angel: Book One

By: Leia Stone, Julie Hall

Narrated by: Vanessa Moyen

From the moment I saw the shadows come to life, I knew my world would never be the same.

Yesterday I was a teenager waiting tables in Manhattan, and today, monsters exist and I can see them.

Overnight I’m thrown into the realm of the Watchers, a society of earthbound angels split into two factions: the Shades, whose powerful dark magic is given to them by the fallen angels, and the Lumens, whose abilities are bestowed on them by the archangels of Avalon.

They’re on opposite sides of a brutal war, and I only have a few days to pick which side I want to join.

I’m ready to choose when the Shades force my hand by cursing someone I love.

The only hope I have of saving them rests on the broad shoulders of the prickliest Shade alive, Gage Alston. He’s cold, arrogant, and quite possibly the most attractive guy I’ve ever laid eyes on.

Do I trust him? No.

Do I need him? Yes.

Do I want to kiss him? Maybe.

Perhaps I’ll choose darkness after all.

Omg!

Two of my favorite authors come together and write an amazing story!! I couldn’t put it down and now I’m so sad that it’s over!! such a good story, amazing characters, perfect narrator! It was perfect and I need the next one RIGHT NOW!!

4 1/2 stars.... so darn good

I should have known any book with Leia Stone is part of is going to captivate! I wish they had half stars because this is definitely four and a half Stars. only recent wasn't five stars is because I only get five stars for like books that I walk away from different. This book though was awesome. It kept my attention and made me want to read it every chance I could. Tatum is a great lead character who isn't whiny or immature like some can be at that young adult age. She is mature and knows right from wrong. Gauge is a Shadow but he has the heart of a Lumen under neath it all. I can't wait to see what happens next

Amazing!!

This gave me all the vibes!! If you are a fan of Leia Stone’s Fallen Academy you will absolutely love this… heck if you are fan of anything Leia Stone and Julie Hall you will love this series!!! This is a amazing read and cannot wait for the next one in this series!!! I love reading and only use audio books when I’m traveling I but couldn’t wait for this and hopped on as soon as I saw the audio was released before the book!! Vanessa Moyen is an amazing narrator!! I definitely see why Leia has her narrate all of her books…

Great mixture of all the things I love in a Y/A angel fantasy

I loved this book, the two different sides but even then it wasn’t just good verses evil. I love Gage and am excited to see where his story goes. I love Tate even when she is a little frustrating when she’s always getting herself in trouble instead of listening. I really like the whole group of her lumen, friends, and I wish indigo was a Lumen. The whole story lying about her parents is so interesting and I just keep thinking. How is she going to help her mom. I love these kind of fantasy books, I really enjoy reading about the different powers they all have and what they can do with them. There was a little bit of drama, a lot of action, and some cute bits of romance here and there. I really enjoyed this book. The narrator was wonderful.

Amazing!

I was so engrossed in this book. I loved listening to it. I listened to it while cooking dinner the last night and finished listening tonight.

What a twist at the end and cliffhanger alert but oh so good.

I usually read a lot of smut but this was a great change of pace. Action packed and heartfelt this book made me addicted to the series already. I can't wait for the next book.

Randomly brought into a world of shades and lumins Tatum realizes that everything is not all what it seems, it and that she may have a battle up ahead but she didn't expect it to be a battle between demons, angels, shades and Lumins.
Tatum is now faced with a choice and also brought a Chance at a different life, but it's a life where she has to make the right choice.
