(Shadow Play: A Dark Fantasy Novel (The Fae Games Book 1))
They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger—if that's the case, I better be badass by the time this is over.
After two years at a dead-end job, Rebecca Peterson finally walks away from everything she knows to follow her dreams in Ireland. Instead of dreams, the dreary streets of Belfast rekindle her terrifying nightmares, and this time they aren't confined to her imagination. Twisted and vicious, Faeries are being unleashed on Earth to prey upon humans, who are unaware of the vile creatures walking among them. Becca must stay alive long enough to learn why she can see what others can't, and even more importantly, discover how to keep the Fae from destroying life on Earth.
Delving into the underbelly of the city, Becca discovers that she is not entirely alone in her abilities; however, centuries of secrecy makes gathering information a challenge. When Becca crosses paths with two mysterious strangers, her life is only complicated further. The gorgeous but brooding Lochlan demands complete honesty but refuses to provide any answers of his own. On the other hand, Ronan is enigmatic and charming, and with his sights set on making Becca his, he offers more help than most. But Becca quickly learns that trusting others is difficult when you have secrets of your own. Sometimes, the enemy is within....

REVIEW:
The blurb is already intriguing, and the book doesn't disappoint. Not many people can say they don't connect with Becca about being stuck in a dead-end job. Then having the chance to actually pursue your dream job, not one person I know wouldn't drop everything and go... Plus IRELAND? Duh! Of course we are jumping on a plane and meeting some hot guys with accents... but no one anticipated that they would be dangerous... and there was a whole world of supernatural creepers that were starting a WAR and you were at the center of it all! The relationship between her and her bestie is great, and her reactions to the situations she's in so believable in an unbelievable world. My favorite part about Becca is her honesty, she is super honest, and even when she's lying by omission she is so torn up about it, but her motivations for it are pure. Honesty is a big trigger for me, I love an honest character, even when it's hard, and even when they are the bad guy. Honesty... big turn on.
Lucky for us this is a duology, you won't have to wait long to get all the answers you're looking for, but it's not released until September 2018. So, grab your panties and get on over to catch up before it comes. This book didn't take me long to read, the characters were enjoyable and relate-able. Becca is sassy, strong, and a little nutty to be staying where all the action is at, but when you see the hotties she's been teamed up with then I suppose you can understand. lol.
Warnings, there is violence, there is sexual situations, and in the end... yes sex. There are also the occasional swear words, but I don't feel they are overly done, so it fit well with the story.
I give this book a 5 star, and I'm excited to read the next book in the duology.
Great part is that you can read the book for FREE with Kindle Unlimited like I did, or have it for as many yummy reads as you want for $2.99. I also received a free copy from the Author for an honest review.
