What Hunts Inside the Shadows by Harper L. Woods

Go to review page

Did not finish book. Stopped at 36%.
there is fan fic that is published and then there is FAN FIC, the FBAA fan fic in the first book could be ignored but the second book was too much ACOTAR to the point where I could not handle it, down to how MAB is controlling Caldais. IT'S THE EXACT SAME. so I had to set this down.

an ode to the healing power of books and music, I loved this book so much - narrated by my favorite audiobook narrator. this book also touches on the healing that comes after SA and how lonely that journey can be, until it isn't. 

all the stars, I loved my first Ebony LaDelle read and will absolutely pick her up again!

I shed a tear during every single chapter of this book, softly weeping at my desk while Adoja Andoh narrated probably the saddest book and ever read and with her soothing voice, and a friend basically holding my hand during our buddy read did I make it out alive. Onyi Nwabineli is a powerhouse author and I don’t know if I have read her equal. The rawness which Eve walks through her grief, has fundamentally changed the way in which I will hold space for people grieving in my own life.
