BOOK REVIEW: Slaying the shadow prince by helen scheuerer

Perfect for fans of A Court of Silver Flames, The Bridge Kingdom, and King of Battle & Blood, Slaying the Shadow Prince is an epic fantasy romance with enemies to lovers, scorching spice, and a richly woven world of magic...

In a realm on the brink of destruction, evil forces snatch innocents to suffer fates worse than death. Only a monster hunter and her monstrous enemy can stop them.

Drue Emmerson, noblewoman-turned-ranger, wants one thing: vengeance. With her family slain by the vicious shadow wraiths, she's determined to defend her fallen kingdom. And that means carving out the hearts of every dark creature she can find.

Talemir Starling, celebrated warrior of the realms, has a dangerous secret: he's a half-wraith, kin to the creatures wreaking devastation on the world. He'll do anything to keep his true nature under control... especially around the woman who's vowed to destroy him.

When someone Drue cares about disappears, all signs poit to Talemir's kind. But he's determined to prove he's no monster, and to seek answers of his own. Begrudgingly, the pair must join forces to uncover the deadly truth.

But in a world of chaos and carnage, where danger lurks at every turn, deadlier still is their attraction to one another - the one thing that might just spell the end of them both.

Will Talemir win Drue's heart? Or will she carve his out before the end?

REVIEW:

STANDING FREAKIN' OVATION FOR THIS BOOK. 👀

Slaying The Shadow Prince is considered a standalone installment but I highly suggest reading this book as a prequel to The Legends Of Thezmarr series. I read this first and I was pulled right into the world of Thezmarr and when straight into the next book after reading this in LESS than 24 hours!! 

when I opened this book there were multiple things happening...

1. I had no idea what to expect because i just knew i wanted to try out this author but i did not research whatsoever about the world, magical system, spice level etc. i was just going in blind and hoping for the best.

2. i was in a MASSIVE reading slump..

THIS BOOK GRIPPED ME WITH GORILLA GRIPPY STRENGTH FROM THE VERY FIRST PAGE.

...and to be honest i am now on the 6th book by this author and this world has completely taken over my life and i've never been happier about it. all i can think about is Thezmarr.

I can't even eat a meal without thinking about Drue and Talemir.

Everyone deserves a shadow daddy and LET ME TELL YOU, Talemir did not disappoint,

PLUS i'm equally as in love with Drue as i am with Talemir. The world building is INCREDIBLE!! The magical system and the alchemy in Thezmarr is so top tier. If you enjoyed The Witcher, Throne Of Glass and ACOTAR you will LOVE this series!!!

i've not read such a captivating stand alone in a long time and after finishing this one it literally took me two seconds to download Blood & Steel (the first in the full length series) on Kindle Unlimited and fell in love just as hard!!!

THE SPICE WAS SPICING BESTIE!!!! 🔥🌶️

Please, Please read this book AND The Legends Of Thezmarr series as soon as possible, you will have the time of your life!!!!!

side note: i read this book RIGHT after finishing Onyx Storm and it was a PERFECT book to get me out of that slump.
