Shadow King
A Dark Fantasy Tale

Cover:
The cover should be revised, because it looks quite amateurish designed. An improvement of the picture would enhance the cover a lot.
Review:
„Ambition. Betrayal. Revenge.
Centuries ago, the Faerie Realm was decimated by a vile and corrupt spell. To survive, the different faerie races—led by the Fae—escaped to the Human Realm where they’ve lived ever since.
As the Fae Patriarch of Boston’s criminal underworld, Aohdan Collins enjoys his playboy lifestyle while he works from the shadows to expand his growing empire, until one night when he shares a shot of whiskey with the lovely Seireadan Moore…
A Fae Seer, Seireadan is haunted by a vision of the Fae responsible for destroying Faerie and murdering her family. Common sense tells her to stay away from Aohdan, but his magnetism and charm are irresistible. As their passionate affair intensifies, Seireadan is pulled into the center of the underworld. And while her heart is bound to Aohdan, she cannot let go of her lifelong quest to hunt down the Fae who haunts her visions… especially when she realizes Aohdan might be the key to helping her find him.
But is revenge worth betraying the one she loves?“
This book is really entertaining but unfortunately not what would have stolen me immediately. The book is slowly picking up speed, but from the half of the book, the events became more intense. The author created a beautiful fantasy world, familiar and yet foreign. The relationship between the protagonists was stimulating, romantic and also erotic. What I liked was that you did not go too deep into a magical world and still have a touch of reality. This was especially true in the behavior of the characters and the descriptions of the scenes in the city. Nice and refreshing for me was also that the female protagonist was not weak and represented as a small helpless female. I am curious how the action will continue in the following volume. The reading was easy and fast and the writing style pleasant. I give the book 4/5 stars whereby I have to leave the cover now outside, because that would unfortunately deduct a point.
Thanks to Netgalley and the Inkshares Publishing House for the review copy.
