My review: 5 HUGE STARS! Shadow Fire ROCKS!
Oh, I truly loved this one! Shadow Fire, by Kimber Leigh Wheaton, is a snappy, sassy, sweet, all-that-kind-of-awesome-and-then-some YA read. I couldn't put it down.
Okay, so let's start with the cover: How gorgeous is it? It's beautiful, eye-catching, pretty in the way you want to pet it (or the black wolf, at least). Kudos to the cover artist/s. They did a knock out job creating a cover that after reading Shadow Fire, captured the essence of it.
Onto the novel itself. Where do I begin? The author did an incredible job creating a fresh story in a genre that's been there and done that. The writing style was creative, well done, and descriptively just right.
Shadow Fire was a fast paced read full of adventure, suspense, twists, turns, and romantic tension. The main character, Ashlyn, is the Chosen One, not a role I would be signing up for any time soon, but when I think of mercenary swoon-worthy Zane, on second thought, I just might!
Ashlyn has her work cut out for her, a job that's sure to fail (no pressure there) and it's a race against time to save her people and her heart.
The quest Ashlyn and Zane are on together is a wonderful journey for the reader as well. I highly recommend Shadow Fire to those in search of something fun, suspenseful, with the right ratio of romance. The only disappointment was when Shadow Fire ended. While I enjoyed the ending, I simply wanted more, I didn't want the adventure to end!
Shadow Fire is a wonderful edition to the YA genre! Grab it up as Shadow Fire is sure not to disappoint.
