On Dark Shores is a tale that is just that, dark.J.A. does a wonderful job in her descriptions of weather and scenery so much that I actually almost shivered.That should say a lot since it is over a 100 where I live.She gives such life to her characters that I could see them as real people and found myself even feeling their own emotions, even the most awful of villains!Her main character in this book is a very headstrong and stubborn girl by the name of Nereia.She will do anything possible to save her innocent little sister Mary, including swallowing her own pride and giving into the horribly oppressive and vicious Copeland who is in short, the town dictator.I found this book to be an engaging read.On Dark Shores is a tale of mystery, intrigue and despair.The suspenseful ending will leave you with a ray of hope and excitement to get your hands on the second installment.
