Resumen del Editor

Adrift in a sky shadowed by war,

We seek, we ache,

Searching for the woman who fled us.

We shattered her heart, but she unfurled her feathers,

Our sweetheart, our little dove,

Escaping our talons on pure white wings.

One of us soars over battlements,

Haunted by past mistakes,

Vowing never to repeat them.

The other storms through walls of stone and hatred,

Eager to destroy the shackles of his past,

Determined to shackle her to him instead. Forever.

Loyalties are torn.

Friendships are tested.

Among the chaos, one claim stands irrefutably:

We will get her back.

She will be ours.

Come home to us, white Raven.

Shadows so Cruel is a full-length dark fantasy romance novel, and book two in the Court of Ravens duet. The two-part story features two morally gray raven shifters, a young woman at the mercy of their shadows, and a HEA. This world contains dark elements, violence, and themes some may find disturbing. Listeners can find more detailed information at LivZander.com. What this book doesn't contain is a hero—because villains do it better. And two do it better than one…

SMDH

As I said about the first book, I didn't care for the narrators. The F did ok. The voice for Sabian was the best of them, but it was because he read really well. The dude that voiced Malyr? Whenever he started reading, I just kept hearing the Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz, "Put 'em up, put 'em uuuuuup!"
Now, onto the story. The amount and type of sex in the book doesn't bother me. Lucky woman, I say. It really is a good story. The back stories are well done, the characters are well fleshed out. I have to say, the last few chapters? Jesus. I cried like a big fat baby. I really did NOT like that, and felt it was totally unnecessary. The book was done, I didn't even want to listen to it. It actually pissed me off. So, it's a good book, but I HATE how it ended.

Emotional roller coaster

I absolutely LOVED this! Could not stop listening! Such an emotional roller coaster that pulls at deep emotions. The growing bond between characters was so sweet to see.

I loved this series by liv zander

this series had me hoooked from start to finish and the narrators were great too

Shadows are very very Cruel

Well titled. I left a review of the first book, which you might want to check out. You absolutely CANNOT read this book without reading the first one. So if you haven't read Book 1, stop now. As I mentioned in my review of Book 1, this story have MANY triggers warnings. If you are a sensitive reader/viewer, this is not the series for you. You can see a list (Yes, a list) of triggers for these books on the author's website. A lot of abuse of all kinds happens for many of the characters in this book. I compared it to Game of Thrones level of cruelty. Joffrey and Ramsey has nothing on the tortures and abuse some of these characters experienced. With that said, the story is an emotional roller coaster that I could not put down. The first book ended in a cliffhanger, and this book picked up right where the last ended. I loved the transition Maylr goes through in this book. Sabian- I can't even go there still. It's truly an amazing story if you can handle the darkness that comes from cruelty and prejudices. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Some people mentioned they did not care for the ending. Again, that goes back to triggers and the saying there is a special place in hell for individuals who abuse children. I personally had no problem with the ending. I hope to listen to more from this author. The narrators were amazing in my opinion. As I mentioned in my review of the first book, I found this series because of Tor Thom. Some have commented not caring for him specifically. I have discovered from reading other reviews- you are either going to love Tor or absolutely hate him. I personally love his growly voice and will often listen to a book just because he narrated it. I think he was perfect for Maylr Summerville and Fuller were perfect additions to the characters as well.

Wow!!!

When I think dark fantasy I think Liv Zander! Between this duet and the King of Rot just WOW! Story, spice and everything not so nice in all the right and wrong ways! Listen and read these books immediately you will be doing yourself a favor.!

wow I am shattered

All I can say is wow great story I had the 3 of the most roller-coaster days with these books. never finished books so fast before

WOW!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this little series. Not dragged out with 6 books. Overall good story.. I could not really get behind paying 25 for a book but, again I bought the second book & read/listened both with in 4/5 days. Also the main male characters voice???..
idk If you want to get into something new to keep you going for a few days check it out. I agree with other comments will most definitely keep an eye on this Author.
thankx.

Dark and twisted and ohh so good!

Absolutely loved the second half of the Court of Ravens Duet. This book is perhaps a bit darker than the first but is equally as entralling. Spice was 👌🏻 and you really feel invested in these characters and their relationship. Overall highly recommend. Liv Zander is now a one click author for me. Bravo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This might as well be in amusement park

The roller coaster of emotions I got with this book made my life feel mundane now that it’s done. I cried I laughed. I yelled in anger. There’s lots of times I had to stop because there’s a cyclone of emotions and I didn’t know how to express them. This book was like a drug to me. I would stop it to do what I need to do but the whole entire time I was not listening to it I needed more. I need to know what happened next. Please tell me that there’s gonna be a third one

beautiful story

beautiful story about love, loss and healing. Both books were amazing and had so many different emotions. amazing reads
