Shadowlight

by Elon Vidal

Trapped in the Land of the Dead, this impossible Lightbringer prophecy has cranked the difficulty level up a few notches.

Lucy weaves her way in a game of shadows, her own survival depends on one.

But there’s a catch: she must become undead.

That brings her under the direct influence of Aeron, Death itself.

With control over Lucy, the Chosen One, and the Netherim witchpetal, Aeron is just one step away from fulfilling his ultimate ambition: control over eternity.

Will Lucy stand a chance against such a powerful being? Will she retrieve the Netherim witchpetal before her life pearls run out and trap her in the Underworld forever?

Shadowlight and the entire Lightkey series is a fun YA fantasy adventure with a positive message suitable for all ages. Fans of Sarah Noffke's Beaufont series should enjoy it.

Once again we have a new book to this series that pulls us in and transports us to another. Elon continues to bring us a suspense-building read that has us asking will she, won't she? When I realized that Lucy had to become a member of the undead herself, I couldn't stop reading. This poor MC already had so much to deal with and now!!!!
I find myself being very careful not to provide spoilers. I must thank the author for an ARC copy to read and give an unbiased review. I do not think Elon has anything to worry about, this series for me has turned Elon into a must-buy author!
If you find yourself wanting to have a great fantasy read that leaves you with cliffhangers, nail-biting moments, and a world you can get lost in, this one is for you, no matter your age!

I received an ARC version of this book in exchange for an honest review. The prophecy continues. Another petal to be found, and many battles to overcome before the final, overcoming Death and reclaiming the Witchpetal to its rightful place, thus regaining balance in the world. Who are the enemies, the friends, the disguised beings, and the heroes who will help Lucy in her quest. Who will deceive, whom can she trust, and what will Lucy do with her powers to fight evil, and return light to the world. A truly epic battle is brewing. One that also encompasses self worth and the glow of being the Chosen One. The question is, can Lucy succeed, or be trapped in the Netherim forever? This book will grip you from page one, and have your heart pounding til the last word is read

Lucy continues the challenge in a game of shadows. To continue she has to become undead herself, and thus under the influence of Aeron himself.
Can she overcome Death, or will our heroine succumb?
I received an ARC of the book and willingly leave my review
