The Shadow Bride

Scarlet Veil Duology, Book 2

De: Shelby Mahurin

Narrado por: Saskia Maarleveld

In the thrilling conclusion of the duology set in the world of the New York Times bestselling Serpent & Dove series by Shelby Mahurin, a vampire and the woman who tried to kill him prove that true love can conquer anything, even Death. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas.

Célie’s life is over. She took her final breath trying to save the people she loves—including the powerful and enigmatic vampire king, Michal, who refused to let her go. When Célie wakes, she cannot walk in the sun; she can hear her friends’ heartbeats and she craves their blood. Michal has cursed her to the eternal existence of a vampire.

But Célie isn’t the only dead roaming the earth. Her sister, Filippa, has returned as a shadow of her former self, and other revenants are rising from their graves intent on revenge. The fragile balance between life and death has broken, awakening an even darker force—and he is coming for Célie, ready to claim her as his Bride. With the fate of their world at stake, Célie and Michal must set aside their searing attraction to mend the veil and right the balance, once and for all.

Absolutely Flawless!

I loved everything about this book and loved the narrator and how different characters sound like different people!! Amazing job on both author and narrator!!

Love this series!

I love the found family and strong fmcs and love story and how we get multiple points of view

LOVE THE ENDING OF THIS DUOLOGY!!!

I’ve really enjoyed this duology, and it ended SO PERFECTLY!!

Sometimes the characters drove me crazy, but I adored them. The love, friendship, family and forgiveness was so beautiful!! There are a couple of people I’m glad did not get the happily ever after the others got, but truthfully they didn’t deserve it, they didn’t show the forgiveness the others did and that makes a big difference when it comes to happiness.

This was my first read by this author, but I’m won over!! The writing was so lush, with complex characters and wonderful world building!! Highly recommended!!

The narration was beautifully done and really brought life to the characters!!

Live like love

I almost love this love story more than Lou and Reed’s story, I have a soft spot for vampires and 1000 year old men. The cameos of all our favorite characters and the found family reminds me of the Lunar Chronicles series. I’m invested, and if Shelby wants to write about Filippa finding love I’d eat it up.

Is this the end? If so, it’s fabulous! If not, yay!!!

Celie gets her HEA. What a great conclusion to the world of vamps, witches, and Death. There were some shocks. A few new characters. Some giggles. A plot twist or two.
This duology brought back all of our favorites from the Serpent and Dove trilogy. While the story has an ending, there could be more! We have a few people without HEAs so…maybe the story isn’t over?

Loved the book so much & audio was even better

loved everything and will continue thinking about this book until i die and become a vampire

Love this heartfelt sequel!

Spoilers:
The vampire transition in this book was wild, I think it put Bella Swan to shame. I loved every minute of vampirism and the love behind it all.
