The Shadows Beyond

Shadow and Light Duology, Book 1

De: TJ Rose

Narrado por: Lance West, Sean Hardisty

Cinnamon 'Cinn' Saunders thought he'd learnt to control his little ghost problem.

That is, until the moment he brings back a malevolent spirit from the shadowrealm, and finds himself unjustly arrested for the murder of four people.

After breaking free of foster care and a stint in juvie, all Cinn wanted to do was keep his head down and work his way up to become a professional chef. Now he's forced to make a choice: life in jail, or allow a stranger to whisk him away to a mysterious institute in Switzerland with the promise of learning how to control his supernatural abilities.

Julien, the French charismatic charmer who is charged with warding over Cinn, also has a problem: the murder of his sister is still unsolved.

He needs help. Help that only Cinn can provide. He'll do anything to get it, including making Cinn an offer that he can't refuse. What Julien doesn't expect is their undeniable connection.

Between battling an uprising of deadly creatures that not only threaten the moteblessed community, but the entire planet, and fighting their growing attraction, can this opposites-attract pair overcome their demons to save the world, and each other?

Contains mature themes.

Unique magical universe & world building, found family, and cute & spicy romance!

I was first introduced to TJ Rose from her Little Red Riding Hood retelling, and absolutely loved it, so I was very excited to delve into her backlog! I didn’t know anything about this book when I started besides that it was gay, and it was fun to get thrust into this new magical world! Urban fantasy set in 1995 Europe, I was not expecting that 😂
I really enjoyed it, and TJ Rose is definitely an insta-read for me now!
Julien and Cinn were so heartbreakingly adorable and I’m looking forward to the next book!
Unique magical universe & world building, found family, and cute & spicy romance!
