My rating: πππππ stars
Loyalty
in the Shadows is book 2 in the Crowned Crows series by Veronica Eden and boy
is it a page turner! The story focuses on the characters Isla and Levi. Isla is
not who everyone thinks she is. A fashionista with a quick wit who hides a
terrible secret behind her easy-going façade. When someone tries to kidnap her,
it is her reluctant hero Levi that steps in and it takes her down a path that
she can’t escape….right into the path of the Crows.
Levi is
one scary dude! Underneath his mask is a monster that will do anything to
protect his brothers. He doesn’t have time for some one like Isla who comes
with her own secrets but who is also his own personal obsession. To make
matters worse, a secret group seems to be out to get the Crow’s and are leaving
breadcrumbs and destruction in their wake!
I would
say that you have to read the first book in this series to understand what is
going on and to know the characters and who they are/what they do a little
better. But this book definitely focuses on the growing relationship of Levi
and Isla more than anything else. Isla was a great character to read about,
even with everything that she has been through/going through, she is still a
wonderfully bright person who sees both the monster and the hero in Levi
(something that he definitely needs). I love how she embraced both sides of him
as she and the rest of the Crows go on their suspenseful adventure. Throwing
Levi and Isla together was just pure perfection…and one that Levi couldn’t
fight for too long!
This book
is darkly seductive. Levi and Isla together are steamy and dark and will leave
you wanting more. The storyline doesn’t give much away, and you’re left with
another epic cliff-hanger at the end, but boy are you going to enjoy the ride
with this one. Be warned, there may be triggers for some readers!
ARC received for a
fair, honest and sometimes long review. All opinions are my own. π
