Claimed by Shadow and Blood

Of Fae and Wolf Trilogy, Book 2

By: Jen L. Grey

Narrated by: Willa Jaymes, Walker Williams

Sometimes the truth gets buried, and love digs the grave.

I thought surviving the ruthless fae bridal competition would be my hardest challenge.

I was wrong.

Chosen by Vad—the dark, dangerously possessive Prince of Shadows—to stand at his side, I've become the prime target in a kingdom built on lies and blood. Rivals would rather see me buried than crowned.

Then I wake with a dagger in my hands...and the King's blood on my skin. Framed for his murder, I'm thrown into the dungeons, where pain is currency, and every shadow whispers betrayal.

The council demands my execution.

My enemies close in.

And I begin to question everyone... especially myself.

But Vad doesn't let go of what's his. Freeing me means defying the very laws that hold his kingdom together. If he fails, I die. If I fail, the crown—and the man who would rather burn the world than have another at his side—will fall into the hands of someone who wants to destroy it.

In a world where every choice bleeds, survival isn't just about staying alive.

It's about deciding who's worth killing for.

Claimed by Shadow and Blood is a royal fae romantasy that includes betrayal, morally gray characters, enemies-to-lovers, a magical pulsing tattoo, a bridal competition, political intrigue, who did this to you, and touch her and unalive.

On the fence

I loved the first book in this series. I loved most of this book, but it did begin to get a little frustrating for me around the last quarter of the book.

Also, there are a lot of similarities in this series and my favorite book series ao much so I have to wonder if this wasn’t inspired by it.

Overall I did enjoy it. You can easily connect with the characters. I do wish it was sold as a set though.

The bond the main characters share

Jen L. Grey is such a talented author! Every book captivates me and I feel like I’m in the story myself!

Loved the narrators

Walker Williams does it again. This man just make any story, significant better.

Recycled and predictable storyline. I still quite enjoyed listening to it. Not gonna lie though, the great narrators made it better than what I probably would have thought if I read the book myself. Would have rated it much lower then.

Dual narration

I have never given a 5 star for a dual narration but these narrators killed it and so I had to give it to them!

the loyalty

Amazing story kept me hooked for days. Can not wait for the next book to come out so excited.
