The King's Shadow

Magiford Supernatural City (Gate of Myth and Power, Book 2)

De: K. M. Shea

Narrado por: Katie Koster, Paul Woodson

I just spent the last month pretending to be the pet cat of an elf king. Today, I discovered we’re enemies.

In a supernatural society filled with vampires, werewolves, and wizards, I’ve always been an outcast with my ability to turn into a housecat. No one knew what I was.

Turns out, I’m a shadow—a race of supernaturals that were wiped out by the elves centuries ago.

Who explains this to me? Noctus, the elf king I’ve been staying with while pretending to be his pet “cat,” not knowing I’m the archenemy of his people. Talk about the most awkward ancestry results ever.

Now I’m stuck staying with Noctus because he can’t let me go thanks to all of his secrets I unwillingly learned as a cat. At least he hasn’t killed me. Yet.

If that isn’t bad enough, I’m being tracked by a creep obsessed with killing me because I’m a shadow, and he doesn’t mind doling out collateral damage during the hunt.

So I’ve got a mysterious elf king holding me captive in his hidden home, a slew of new powers to learn with my revealed ancestry, and a psychopath on my tail. Wow, things are looking up.

It’s time to find out if cats really do always land on their paws.

King’s Shadow is the second book in the Gate of Myth and Power urban fantasy trilogy, and is part of the Magiford Supernatural City world. It is an adventure-filled and hilarious take on the Hades and Persephone myth, with a twist of mystery. It’s packed with humor, battles, and a sweet, slow burn romance between an outcast magic user and the deadly king of the elves.

This was not as good as the first book, but it was still entertaining and brought both laughter and giggles.

Since it's a trilogy, I'll be devouring the last book now.

I must admit these books have made me curious about the rest of the books in this universe.

If you are a cat lover you can't help but giggle

This is a great series. As a cat lover, I found myself giggling at the FMC and MMC. They are a cute couple and I love the FMC, she is naive but clever. Really a fun book

Whole Series Review - Love!

I love this giant interconnected series of trilogies! I wish I had not yet listened to them so I could get to listen to them again for the first time. Each trilogy is well-developed, with fully flushed out characters and challenges. The shared town/society and overlapping characters brings unity to the whole collection, and it’s always fun to re-meet the characters from the previous trilogies. I am guess g there is at least one more trilogy yet to be written, and I can’t wait!

my favorite author never disappoints!

I have already fed the books but I can't wait for the next installment of the audio version!
