Shadows of Fate caught me off guard. I mean really caught me off guard. I can honestly say I was not expecting to enjoy it this much. I fell in love with the writing style within the first few pages and when I say late night reading? Well that is because I started this and did not stop till I was done.To be able to actually cause me to blow off doing work, sleep or even eating it has to be pretty dang engaging, and believe me it is. I love good urban fantasy, and as I have mentioned before, it is hard to find unique stories in this genre. Angela Dennis has something special going on. She includes both the main protagonist, Brenna’s point of view and she introduces Gray, the antagonists point of view in later and it causes that feeling of “Oh oh oh I know what is going on and Brenna doesn’t… neener neener!” I like stories like this! When you have a love interest between the protagonist and antagonist it is always a journey too. I loved how this one went! Paranormal romance lovers will love this!Sometimes with mysteries or other conflicts if we as the readers figure out what is going on to early it really does ruin the story. I suspected what was going on, I mean it was kind of obvious but the author kept dropping misleading story devices that made me go hmmmmm at the same time. I really appreciate this. It makes the story more alive!Having it in a post-apocalyptic Colorado gives it the urban flavor and having tunnels underneath with that dark underworld again… maybe not the most original idea but Angela Dennis wove the world and action so well together with such diverse, unique and three-dimensional characters the whole story was special and really enjoyable. It really was perfect for the “curl up in the couch with a few snacks and read till you are done” reading moment!I loved the book, loved the world-build. Really enjoyed the reading and I loved the conflict, action, the love story… even the baddies as common as they are, were written in such a way I really enjoyed the whole package! I gave it a four-in a half stars on the blog. I am in love with the author!
