Synopsis
WAR IS HELL. AND WAR WITH HELL IS NO FUN EITHER.
Just when her new life as a TouchStone—a mortal bound to help OtherFolk cross between Faery and human worlds—seems to be settling down, Abby Sinclair is left in charge when the Protectorate, Moira, leaves for the Faery Court. And when the Protectorate’s away . . . let’s just say things spiral out of control when a spell on Abby backfires and the Faery Queen declares the Doors between their worlds officially closed. The results are disastrous for both sides: OtherFolk trapped in the mortal world are beginning to fade, while Faery is on the brink of war with the daemons of Hell. Along with her brooding elven prince Talivar and sexy incubus Brystion, Abby ventures to the CrossRoads in an attempt to override the Queen’s magic. But nothing in this beautiful, dangerous realm will compare to the discoveries she’s making about her past, her destiny, and what she will sacrifice for those she loves.
Review
A Sliver of Shadow is the second installment in the Abby Sinclair story it starts not long after the first one finishes. We are introduced to Talivar who's the elf brother of Moira who is Abby's touchstone. I kind of like him better as a match for Abby but we will have to see how it plays out. After all I'm not a huge fan of any potential love triangles and tend to avoid books with them because someone always get's hurt.
Just like the first book I struggled to put down A Sliver of Shadow it's one of those books you can easily get lost in and I ended up stay up late to finish. The story is captivating right from the start full of action and mystery with a little romance tossed in. Even though this book did happen to have a love triangle it didn't turn me off like most do. I'm torn because this one may just be better than the first one which doesn't happen very often. Great characters that I was able to connect with and a fun story. I can't wait to read the next one quickly becoming my all time favorite urban fantasy.
I actually liked this book better than the first because I felt like it had more action whereas the first one built the world up however Brystion came off as being a bit of an pain in the you know what in this one.
