Melanie S's Reviews > Shadow Burn

Payback is scary

Cam and Ellie survived their encounter with the murderous mages of Martin House, where Ellie killed the only mage who could control her shadow. But House Martin wants revenge. Segue Institute, the refuge of humans who fight Shadow, is under attack again and all indications are that House Martin is to blame. Cam and Ellie must once more undertake the mission to subdue the Martin mages. This exciting conclusion of the series sees them gathering their courage and bringing their special talents to bear, but it is their love, and their growing faith in each other and themselves as individuals that hold the key to Segue's survival. High drama, magic-wielding violence, and growing dread make the story so intense that it sometimes feels overwhelming. Beneath it all, the foundation of commitment and trust keeps the reader motivated to see it through to its rewarding conclusion. This is a voluntary independent ARC review.
