I was given this book by the author in exchange for a review, an honest one. So, I honestly have to say I have not been this frustrated by a book in a very long time! Sacrificed in Shadow was fantastic. I do have to say that it may be a bit easier to understand if you have read the Descent series, so you know Elise and James, and their story.Someone else also mentioned you should read Reine's other series, Seasons of the Moon. (I think that's right, feel free to correct me if not!) Anyways, this book was an absolutely fantastic way to bring these two series together. I read this book in pretty much one setting once I set my mind to it, which has been fairly true for most of Reine's books. You are simply pulled into the world she has created, and it's honest amazing. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, as long as you don't mind a bit blood and gore. Some rather crass language as well, but if we all lived in that world I think we'd speak the same way. I stated a few reviews back that I didn't think Elise was a character you could really like, and I still feel that way. However, I think she's a character you can understand. In a way. She's fairly untouchable, and it's hard to empathize with a character like her. At the same time, she's amazingly relatable in a way many heroes aren't. I highly enjoy reading about her adventures, and can't wait to find out more. SPOILER?[I'd just like to say that I haven't run into a non villainous character I wanted dead more than Umbridge, but James Faulkner is comes in close. When Elise tried to get into the werewolf compound and James was there, I literally threw my Kindle onto the bed and screamed in frustration. DAMN YOU, FAULKNER.]
