Shiny Things
WHEN an ancient evil crashes her book launch, debut author Krysta Ishtar must trust in the dubious protection of an unstable champion and flee to a world she never believed in - a world where her destiny is written in a forbidden book and her death warrant is already signed.
Thrown into the centre of a desperate power struggle in a land in the grip of a madman, Krysta must survive a bloodthirsty army, psychiatrist vampires, a giant spider, exploding fetches, a homicidal teenage fairy and a family reunion...
But even the muse champion may not be able to save her from the deadliest peril in all Shadow:
ALL THE BLOODY SHINY THINGS.
Shiny Things is the third book in the dark comic fantasy series Shadow, and introduces a heroine who could one day save all of Shadow - if she doesn't break it first.

Book 3 in the Shadow series follows Hippy's daughter, Krysta (who is an unheard-of half bloody fairy, half muse who was raised in Dream) as she navigates her way through the unfamiliar world of Shadow. This book has action and adventure galore! In this book, you find out what happened to king Pierus and the muses and vampire king Rustam Badora.You also meet the oh-so-wonderful pixies for the first time. They are most definitely a unique pixie race...never heard of pixies like them before.
The curse placed on Pierus is very funny. Not as funny as Nikifor's curse, but still very amusing.
The author is very creative and did an awesome job. This book is another great installment to the series, and I can't wait to read book 4. Check out books one and two if you haven't yet.
