The Shadow Aspect (The Harvesting Series Book 3)

De: Melanie Karsak

Narrado por: Kristin James

When Layla took the final step through the labyrinth, she thought she was saving the ones she loved.

She couldn't have been more wrong.

Layla and the other survivors now find themselves caught in a war for our world, the unwitting victims of a grudge seething for eons. Surviving the zombie apocalypse has become the least of their worries as they come up against vampires, shapeshifters, and fae. When she uncovers an unspeakable horror, whom can Layla trust? The carnie girl? The doctor searching for a cure? The tarot reader? The stranger with alluring gold eyes? Or the man she loves?

The wrong choice could doom them all.

When the world burns, mankind's shadow side rises. Do we deserve to survive?

Danger is always present,but there might some hope

Would you listen to The Shadow Aspect (The Harvesting Series Book 3) again? Why?

Absolutely! Not only for the characterization brought to life through Kristin's voice, but also for the story being told. Melanie walks us through the next expansion of the world here. We saw the undead and vampires in the first book. We learn about the thin places and fog here, along with some of the natural spirits. Each growth of the world in each book is placed to explain and grow the stories. We even start to get a look into why this is happening along with how. And, to Layla and a few other observers, there is a difference in the undead as well.

Have you listened to any of Kristin James’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've continued listening to the series as I love Kristin's voice acting. She slips into each and every character, becoming them in voice. She does the breathless moments when in dialog. She does several accents through the story for Cricket, Tristan, and many others along with deeper and different tones for male and females. All this makes it so easy for the listener to differentiate the characters. I love how Kristin knows what words to put an accent on, to show there is more meaning behind the word.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I had a constant fear from the moment Layla and her friends walked into Claddagh-Basel college. I worried the whole time that something was going to happen. This was one of my biggest reactions. But there were a few as I started to feel for the undead... Hard to believe!

Any additional comments?

This book brings Cricket and those from her novella together with Layla and her friends from Hamletville.

I know the characters are in constant trouble with the danger of the undead and vampires, but it doesn't feel high strung fast. I really like this. People need rest, even if not 100% trusting of those around them. That comes through yet the stories moving to keep us interested. The grown of the world helps balance the pacing and action. Not to fast. Not to slow. Just right.

Really can't wait to continue in this series with the next novella and novel!

Unique epic post apocalypse world

The author and narrator create and bring you to an epic new post apocalyptic world. The prior novels set up different groups, areas and challenges. The world is a whole new place. This chapter brings groups together, reveals ancient enemies, betrayals are shocking, be ready for some serious action and some serious loss. Love this series! Very refreshing and new in its views!

OMG

The Shadow Aspect is just a suspenseful as the other two book in the Harvesting series. I can’t wait to read the next book.

What's not to love!!!

Loving this series so much! I know it sound strange to have zombies, fae people, psychics & vampires all in one story but this works! It works so well that I'm listening to the entire series straight through. The narrator is great, the store is fantastic, the writing is really good. The characters are likable & relatable. Give this series a try, I promise you'll enjoy it.
