"Dance of Shadows" by Erica Marie Hogan

Back of the book:

The Winter Queen has brought the storm …
and the Abyss roams the halls of the Blood Keep.


Ten days have passed since Sundragon blood was shed for a sacrifice by Raphaela Kael. Ten days since Lathan and Maxx Jandry fled the city in search of Princess Damari Kael and their niece, Noelle. Brecken Jandry, Brae’s loyal husband, remains a tortured prisoner in the Kael dungeons and no one in Sunkai is safe from Roderick and Raphaela’s wrath.

Damari Kael flees Sunkai with little Noelle Jandry, determined to deliver the child to the safety of the Shadow Lands, even as her own power emerges within her. The Eventide Sisters embark on a mission to join the Winter Queen. Across the land, Clea Jandry arrives in her birthplace of Molderëin where she is met with a savagery she thought long dead. Afra Malaki seeks the Creator’s will and the Queen of the Woodlands prepares for battle.

In the peaceful city of Quintaria, the Winter Queen grieves. But the shadows are coming for her. They carry a message for Adlae Sundragon, and they will not rest until all is revealed.


My Review
"Dance of Shadows" by Erica Marie Hogan is the second book in the "Winter Queen" series.  I really think I would like this series in a movie. I don't say this lightly because I don't really watch movies much but, I can really see myself watching this story play out in a movie theater. This is a series about good versus evil. I really want to see how this series ends even though fantasy and sci fi isn't my favorite genres. I will be reading book three when it is released. The story is easily followed but there are alot of characters.  I would recommend this book to anyone that likes books with magic. I think the part I like best is the underlining love stories within the plot.

The ending really makes me want to read the next book ASAP.

I was given a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.
