The Reaper's Shadow

Hidden Legends: College of Witchcraft, Book 2

By: Alicia Rades, Hidden Legends

Narrated by: Logan Young, Jonathan M Matthews

Even witches can’t outrun their curses.

Nadine

My magic’s been awakened, but being a witch is a death-wish. I’m the only Curse Breaker alive, and if the coven found out, they’d turn on me. I must hide who I truly am to ensure my freedom.

There’s a witch in town intent on driving me out of my home. Chloe has stepped up her mean-girl tactics, but I refuse to leave Octavia Falls. I must find a way to break the curse over our families before her powers are awakened.

As if one curse wasn’t enough. I’m on the verge of becoming the Reaper’s Shadow, the cursed mate of a Reaper’s Apprentice. Being with Lucas should be easy. I just have to outrun my darkness long enough to break the curse....

Lucas

Two children have gone missing from the coven, and no magic can find them. I want to help, but I don't know how.

The only way to get my hands on information is to pursue my own investigation.

Meanwhile, I fear that I’ve damned Nadine to a cursed life. If only I could keep my hands off her long enough to save her from death.

I love all of Alicia’s work!

I enjoyed this just as much if not more than the elemental books! Very captivating!

The Reaper’s Shadow (Hidden Legends: College of Witchcraft Book 2)

The Reaper’s Shadow (Hidden Legends: College of Witchcraft Book 2) ~~ If book one grabbed my heart, book two ripped it right out and stomped on it… in the best way. Nadine’s power is awakening, she’s desperately trying to survive the goddess’s test, and Lucas is fighting every instinct in his body not to love her ~ because loving her could literally kill her. The emotional tension in this one had me chewing my lip.

Lucas’s struggle with his cursed role hits hard. The scenes showing the weight he carries the last thoughts of the dead echoing in his mind were devastating. Nadine becomes his light in the darkness, and you can feel how terrified he is to believe he deserves her.

And then the truth behind the curse and the threat against the coven starts unraveling. Secrets come out, allegiance shifts, and what Nadine learns about herself? I absolutely did not see that coming. I was yelling at my Kindle and Audible book on more than one occasion.

I would definitely recommend this book and series and can’t wait to start on the next book. If you want to know what happens next, you’ll just have to read this series yourself ~ you won’t regret it.
