Shadow of Ruin Review
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶
Firstly thank you, Melissa and Andre, for allowing me to arc read your wonderful book. I absolutely enjoyed it so much and can't wait to see what you have planned next.
This book had a different vibe from book 1, but it was truly amazing. I loved Alex and Mia's story. The plot twist was absolutely twisting, but in such a good way. I am so ready for book 3 and what will be next in the Donare Series.
Starting this book had me hooked and definitely couldn't put it down. It kept me wanting more and more. This book is written beautifully, and I loved every second of it.
Monsters will lurk in the shadows, but will you let it shatter what you thought to be real?
But know this:
Light and shadow may touch... But they can never truly unite.
Tropes:
💀 Urban Fantasy
💀 Mystery Elements
💀 Horror Elements
💀 Secret Society
💀 Magic
💀 Ancient Languages
💀 Hidden Realms
💀 Paranormal/Supernatural
💀 Reality Challenged

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Melissa and Andre for letting me arc review this beauty and for letting me be apart of their journey!!
This book had a totally different vibe to the first book in the donare series (book one- love and shadows).
Mia and Alex are by far 2 of my favourite characters I have read about and everything about them just makes you happy all the way to the core!
This book had you twisting in your seat more times then not and to say I loved thinking what’s going to come next because this book you’ll never know as the plot is just that good and just had you guessing the whole time.
The side characters in this book had me laughing and giggling like a little school girl and I loved it!!
