Release Day Review: A Scarlet Fury (World in Shadows #2) by Bridget Blackwood

[Eva Millien]

Blurb:

It has been almost a year since mankind became aware of the world in shadows. It's been an adjustment, but life goes on and most have learned to adapt. There are some on both side that are not ready to let go of their plans. Madalaina Bonvillian believed nothing could harm her; she's the daughter of the former alpha and the sister of the current alpha, who would dare? After surviving a brutal attack, Madalaina must try to move forward, but where do you go when you feel like you've lost yourself?

Cleary Neil has kept his feeling for Madalaina to himself. He's been her friend, and now that's what she needs more than anything. The only problem is he can't shut off the part of himself that wants to protect his mate from the pain and confusion he sees in her. 

Together they will go on an emotional journey to find out if love can heal all wounds. Time is of the essence, because enemies are gathering.

My Review: 

After surviving a brutal attack, Madalaina must try to move forward but isn’t sure how, Cleary will be whatever she needs but finds it hard to keep his feelings for hidden.  Together they will need to determine if love can heal all wounds, but time is of the essence because enemies are gathering in this emotionally gripping paranormal romance.

This fast paced and smooth flowing plot keeps readers captures the heart and keeps readers on the edge of their seat with suspense, action, drama and romance.  The author inspires vivid images that capture the imagination with well written scenes and details and the well orchestrated drama and suspense draw the reader deeper into the strong and compelling characters’ world.

Cleary has been Madalaina friend for a while now, but what’s happened to him shatters him especially as he has to give the space needs to heal, but this strong lion will do whatever it takes to be the mate she needs. The trauma that Madalaina suffers grabs a hold of the reader and causes quite a few tears throughout the story not only for the horror at the cruelty of some… well I have no words for what they are, but also because she not only survives, she manages to take back her life.  Cleary and Mads passion may be simmering in the background to start off but when things start to heat up, it’s obvious that these two will make a great couple.

As Mads and Cleary’s story unfolds, the author also gives us glimpses of the major characters that are involved in this world adding depth and spice to the story and it also gives more info about the overall series plot as well.  Despite the tears, I enjoyed the story and couldn’t put it down until I had read every last word and learned exactly how Cleary and Mads fared in their search for happiness and I can’t wait to read the next book.
