Review: Sacrificed in Shadow
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 27, 2013
The beginning of the book left me floundering a bit as I scrambled to figure out what was happening. Don't get me wrong, the writing was engaging, but I had to stop after a couple of chapters to read the blurb again and see if I had the same book. Only after Elise began to dig into the investigation did the story really start to pick up speed. Dead bodies were piling up, mauled to death. Werewolves were accused of committing the crimes. The small town deputy doesn't understand why nothing was being done, so he decided to hire outside help in the form of Elise Kavanagh. He knew she was a special investigator. Too bad no one told him she was a demon.When Elise went into the woods to hunt the wolves responsible for the deaths, she soon discovered that all was not as it seemed. To stop the killings, she must team up with those accused to find the real murderers before all hell breaks loose...literally. It's only when I reached the halfway point in the book and discovered the truth about Elise, that my fate was sealed. I had to find out more. I enjoyed learning about Elise's unique skills. The mystery kept me guessing, and I quickly became addicted to the action. The mixture of witchcraft and demon lore was fascinating. The romance on the other hand was a bit disjointed and disappointing. Though the last page might have resolved some issues, it left me feeling a bit sorry for Elise. I'll read book two because I like Elise and want her to have her happy ending.*I received this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
