Shadow Fae Series: Books 1-4

by C.N. Crawford

A girls' night out means three things to me: drinking whiskey with my best friend, trying not to kill anyone, and keeping my magic hidden. A fae gladiator like me isn’t supposed to exist anymore.

But my Friday night takes a bad turn when a lethally gorgeous fae--Ruadan--tries to assassinate me. He's known as the Wraith, and he's taken a vow of silence until he’s slaughtered the outlaws on his kill list. Outlaws like me.

Ruadan lets me live on one condition: I have to earn my place at the Institute of the Shadow Fae. As a powerful fighter, I can take the competition.

But things fall apart when I’m given an impossible choice: betray my mentor Ruadan, or my best friend dies. Now, I face a quandary my gladiatorial past did not prepare me for.

This boxed set includes:

Court of Shadows
Court of Darkness
Court of Night
Court of Dreams

The Shadow Fae boxed set contains the first four books in the series, which include Arianna and Ruadan's complete story arc.

Fighttastic

This is a great set of books that I thoroughly enjoyed. There's a lot of Kick-Ass fighting but a cute love story between it all. Not just loving someone else but finally learning to love yourself. Good set of books to read on a weekend away. Hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did.

I will always recommend any book by c n Crawford.
They write amazing books for young adults. The spice isn’t full on but enough for the age group and the story lines are always thrilling!
Highly recommend

Loved it!

I read book 1 and was hooked. I had to get the boxed set to find out what happens to Arianna aka —- (I won’t spoil it by giving away her real name) and Ruadan.

All I can say is that these two characters are perfect for each other. They fill in where the other falters.

Fav part? Wait till u read about Andre! I love the humor infused in these books. With all the killing and mayhem, you gotta have moments of snorty giggles.

Great books. I’m very happy I stumbled upon this work.

For a free, grocery store fantasy it is good. I like the hero and her struggles. She is fairly consistent but I would've like to see her resist the main main a little longer...

This books series is part of a large world around the "apocalypse". I have read the other books in this world and do find the authors fairly consistent in the world building.

Overall it's a fun escape and I would read it again.

This was not at all what I expected! Yet at the same time exceeded all expectations!... This series is action packed with the supernatural and also builds some serious sexual tension throughout... This is by far the best series I have read up to date. I have not been able to stop reading until I had completed the series... When I was not reading, I was thinking about reading it. I live and breathe for this series!

Love it!

I felt like I was just continuing from Adonis and Ruby's story. The plot connected well. I really enjoy all Of the twists and turns. You've incorporated lots of different myths into the story that gave it a life it's own! Absolutely loved it!!!!!

Fantastic

Wow what a fantastic rollercoaster the first 4 books in this series are, I couldn't put it down and I was fully immersed into this crazy world of fantasy, I can't wait to see where it goes next.

Awesome Series!

This is one of those series that you lose sleep over. The characters are well written. The world building is perfect and detailed. You're easily whisked away into Ruadan and Liora's story. I can't wait to read more by this duo.

Omg..Loved this series

I love the all the books from this author. From the first page to the last you will be sucked in a world that will captivate you to the end. I could not put this down and only took me three days to finish.

Love these book!!!

I cant even begin to say how much I love this series. CN Crawford is a wonderful author that pulls you in from the 1st chapter. Not many books can get me from chapter one but this one did. You need to read these books!!

So fun

I loved this. Could not put it down until I finished them all and knew what happened. Loved all of it.

Another fantastic story!

I love all of their books and this one did not disappoint! It was nice to meet a character that wasn't all good but who you wanted to root for anyway.

I recommend this series

The story is full of action, steamy scenes, and legends. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this, and I love the leading characters.

Great book series!

It was a wonderful series! Kept me wanting to read. I loved that there were 4 books. Couldn't put it down

Gripping, moving exhilarating and some laugh out lot dialogue. One of the best series from Crawford yet. There’s something so alluring about dark powerful fae! Action packed altered reality worlds but so real, and great characters you want to read more of. I loved it!!

Didn’t think you could improve on the sea fae series but this was captivating. Not sure how I’m going to get over not having these worlds to dip into! Well done CN Crawford
