Shadow Cave

by Angie West

The account was more than five hundred years old—the last remnant of an ancient tribe. Claire Roberts is in for a bumpy ride when she journeys to a world that history books claim never existed.

Together with the help of her friends, she must use an ancient relic and find her brother before the Shadow Man finds her. She becomes the hunted in a dangerous game that threatens a nation that is the stuff of legend. Along the way she will learn that the best gifts are the ones you never expect to find.

Reviews

[Paranormal Kiss · Rating 4 out of 5]

Shadow Cave by Angie West is the first book in her new Shadow Cave series. It is a great start to the series. Once you start reading it doesn’t take long until you are swept along on a journey with the heroine, Claire. It is a journey to search for her missing brother Mike and it is fraught with equal amounts of danger and discovery. Angie West weaves a tale that is both fascinating and suspenseful. The world she creates is imaginative and nicely detailed. Claire is a great heroine. She’s smart, gutsy and down to earth. She’s easy to like and relate to. You can’t help but root for her.

There is a love interest which will satisfy romance fans. It isn’t a central part of the story but it is a nice addition. The flow of the story is very well done until the end when things come to a conclusion in a rapid fashion. I wish the ending had been drawn out just a bit more. As this first book ends things are left pretty open-ended, which is typical and expected for the first of a series. I wouldn’t classify it as a cliffhanger so you can join me while I breathe a sigh of relief and say, “Dear Author, Thank you for not torturing me with a cliffhanger”. It does leave plenty of questions unanswered and I look forward to discovering the answers in future books.

Shadow Cave is recommended for fans of Urban Fantasy.

I received this book as a free download for review from the author here on Goodreads.

I enjoyed this novel, and found it to be a quick, entertaining read. I found the characters to be believable, and the story was well paced and engaging. While some of the events would normally fall into the realm of being completely unbelievable, the author did a great job of blurring the lines of "ultra-believable" and "fantastic" using the portal between here and Terlain just enough that I found myself buying into those aspects of the tale. I look forward to checking out the other offerings from this author.

Until next time, stay safe, and above all, be true to yourself.

It's full with big logic holes and for shit's sake, AFRICA IS NOT A COUNTRY you dolts.

[Lanie (Lanies Book Thoughts) · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a wonderful start to a new series with tons of adventure and quick paced action. Lots of wonderful fantasy elements that mix with well with a current times girl. Our heroine is Claire, a sassy young woman on a mission without fear for herself or what may happen to her. She's completely focused on saving her missing brother from whatever he's gotten himself into. Calire ends up discovering she's way stronger than she ever thought she was before, and in the midst of all this she falls in love. This is a wonderful urban fantasy that could easily compete with any mainstream book out there. It's definitely new and unique when it comes to this genre.
