I LOVED this book!

I will preface this by saying that I don't usually read Urban Fantasy, nor do I read first person written works. But knowing Nazri's style of writing, I decided to give it a shot. I'm so damned glad that I did!

The way the book unfolds, you cannot help but feel like it's going on around you because of how immersed you get into Dustin's world. Dustin Graves. That gave me a chuckle right there.

Dustin's world was so real, through how Nazri describes it, that you can easily get lost for hours along with the characters. Without giving too much away, there are some parts of the book that have you laughing, while others have you gripping your reader so tight because of the tension. I'm usually a bit jaded, and can usually 'get' the plot twist before it's revealed. But Shadow Magic had me guessing all wrong, and it truthfully shocked me when the truth came out.

This is an amazing book, with vivid, wonderful characters. Definitely a must read!
