Shadows of Fire (The Shadow Realms, Book 1)

Written by Brenda K. Davies

Narrated by Meg Price

When the invitation to the Gloaming arrives, Lexi can’t believe that she, a half vampire, has been invited to enter the dark fae realm.

Her first trip to a Shadow Realm isn’t one she’ll soon forget once she meets Cole, a dark fae prince.

Fresh from the war that ravaged the mortal realm and devastated his family, Cole is struggling to piece his life back together when he encounters Lexi. He has always identified more with his dark fae side, but when her presence awakens the lycan part of him, Cole is unable to resist his attraction to her.

When the hostile tension between the different immortals erupts, Lexi flees the Gloaming for the mortal realm. Once home, she’s certain she’ll never see Cole again. She’s proven wrong when tragedy strikes. Lexi is unable to turn Cole away... even if helping him puts her in danger.

Can their growing love survive the cruelty of the Shadow Realms, or will they be the next to fall?

Enter the Shadow Realms. A world where vampires feast, lycans love deeply, dark fae seduce, witches cast their spells, dragons rule the skies... and treachery lurks around every corner.

[Jacqui W · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

There are parts missing. The recording skips. I’m not able to finish due to this issue

[Darla Tucker · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

That ending was fabulous! I'm invested. The rest of the series, if written well, should be great.

[Gisela · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

OhMgee. What a book. And what a cliffhanger. I need book 2 now!!!

[Mel Dill · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Better then the first book! It’s not perfect, but if u can listen past the imperfection, the story itself is captivating. It’s hard to put down because u want to find out what happens so bad. The magical world is really cool, and it’s a fun mystery.

This narrator sounds like a dramatic teenager and i can't get into the story

[Ageno Monica · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Amazing. I absolutely loved this book. Can't wait for the next one

[Samantha McDonald · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This was pretty good. Some stuff was predictable, as are most books like this. But I still enjoyed it

[Krystin Foss · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I have never read so many repetitive conversations between characters. Half a dozen different instances where the author has the two MC's have the same conversation within a few minutes of each other. VERY obnoxious. I thought the narration was pretty well done.

[Michele van der Merwe · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Great start to a new series. Amazing narration. Characters developing

[Kathryn Abate · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I’m really enjoying this book but the author really needs to figure out some different words other than “however”.

[Didi Manor · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Wow I realt enjoyed this book! The characters and world building is great and I had great fun with it

[J Plested · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

It's a bit slow at first, but a good listen

[Lorrie Kerns · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Couldn't stop listening to this book. Absolutely shocked by the ending. Never seen it coming!

[Nic Graham · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Narration was good, but why so much repetition in the script? Lol I get slightly annoyed when they have to remind us of things in different books in a series, let alone facts that are repeated within the same book!
It was hard for me to get into it, but by the end I was hooked. Ready for book 2

[Kat Dote · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

If this author put as much effort into rounding out a conversation between two characters as they do in setting up a setting, this book could be sooo much better. Also pronouns. Pronouns are good but where are they??
A story with an interesting premise but it reads like a first round manuscript rather than a finished novel. Could’ve used another round of editing and proof reading
