Let me just preface this saying that I LOVED the first book in this series. It just grabbed you and pulled you in. I didn't quite get that feeling with this book. Although I do have to say the first person format it was written threw me off and I don't think I liked it quite as much. The thing I liked most about the previous book was that it pulled you in, but it wasn't all at once. With A Shadow Fell, I feel like everything just happened all at once. It was still good, but I think I would have liked it more if it was more of a build up and not so in your face.I also wish there was a little more on Callie and Jack. At the end of the previous book, there was a time lapse and they were just together. And Callie is not as prominent in this book to establish a realistic relationship between the two. We're just told that they are madly in love and that's it. No building up to how they got together or even to the point they are at when the book starts. I was just left wanting that chemistry we didn't get to see.Overall, it was a pretty good book. The side plot with the neighbor left me scratching my head a bit. Wished that was a little more fleshed out and explained more. As well, I didn't quite understand Jack's actions at the end of the book. I won't say what it was, but I didn't quite grasp why he had to run. Anyways, it was still a good book. Just not as good as the first. Debating whether I want to pick up the last book or not.
