Book: The House of Shadows by A.L. Garr
Reviewed by Anonymous
Rating: 2.5/5
The House of Shadows had potential, but unfortunately it didn’t quite work for me. The premise and overall story idea were intriguing, but the execution fell a bit flat. The writing style made it difficult to fully connect with the story, and the pacing of the romance felt rushed.
The main characters seemed to fall in love almost immediately, which made the relationships feel forced. I usually love a spicy romantasy read, but even for me, the intimate scenes felt a bit excessive and sometimes distracted from the plot rather than adding to it.
There were definitely elements of the story that could have been compelling, but overall I found myself wishing the characters and their relationships had been given more time to develop. Readers who enjoy very fast-burn romance and heavy spice may still enjoy this one, but it just wasn’t the right fit for me.
Thank you to The Nerd Fam and the author for an ARC of this book.
