4/5

Embrace the Shadows is the final book in the Shadows Ascending Trilogy. Full of action and steam this was an epic conclusion to Lorelai and Vincent's story. I'd love more from this world but it was wrapped up very well . It had been a while since I listened to the first two books in this series so it took me a few minutes to catch back up to the story and characters but once I did I was sucked in and rooting for Lorelei and Vincent in their quest to take down the Syndicate.

I received this audiobook for free from Audiobook Obsessions and Pink Flamingo Productions. This is my honest and voluntary review. .

perfect ending

This whole trilogy has been an exciting journey into a fantastic paranormal world. This trilogy has been intriguing and enthralling from the get-go. It is unique and unpredictable. Jenn makes it easy to envision this world. The story is written with such emotionally charged detail that you can’t help but be invested in each character. Its action packed with fascinating paranormal beings. Lorelei is a fun FMC full of strength and determination. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching her grow. I also enjoyed watching her and Vincent’s relationship grow, and their bond strengthen. They are an explosive power couple with a bond that is not only strong, but intense and sizzling. The other characters are just as amazing and are a phenomenal addition to this trilogy. Perfect wrap up for an epic trilogy.
Sarah Puckett and Tim Paige are a dream team. They expertly bring these characters to life and easily convey their emotions. They gave each character their own voice that fit their personalities perfectly. The tone, flow, and pacing were spot on. Sarah’s voice is exactly how I had pictured Loreli to sound. And let’s face it ladies, we all want a strong, sexy male voice to match our alpha males. Tim does not disappoint as he portrays our dominant demon, Vincent. I strongly suggest the audiobook version of the book so you can experience what these two entertaining storytellers have to offer.

SPEECHLESS

This book was the epic conclusion to the trilogy telling us the story of Lorelei and Vincent. And I still cannot believe how much I truly loved this story! I mean on one hand, there were definitely parts that were predictable and I was like yup... of course that happened.... But then there were other parts where I was like WHOA! I really enjoyed the different characters, they were complex and even though the story revolved around Lorelei and Vincent, each character had their own stakes and reasons for being part of the fight.

Normally I would give a small little taste of the storyline, BUT I won't give that this time. What I will say is that we get to enjoy getting to know Lorelei's parents and see their world, we get to see Lorelei blossom and get to become who she was meant to be. We get to see the other characters really come into their owns as well! But the end.... well that is worth the read :)

Sarah Puckett is a favorite narrator of mine, and she doesn't disappoint in this book either. She keeps Lorelei true to her personality and keeps the steam dripping out of the speakers! Tim Paige is also just fantastic as Vincent, he keeps making sure that we truly believe his protective and fierce nature!

Great end to this trilogy!💜

Another great book in this series. I enjoyed the banter between the characters and the suspense of what was going to happen.
The final fight wasn’t quite what I was expecting but still good. The epilogue was a great way to close this story.
For me, there were some avenues left unexplored and if this wasn’t a trilogy I would be expecting book 4. Author Jenn D. Young puts all her heart and soul into her writing and it shows with every word.
The narration was very good. Sarah Puckett and Tim Paige did an amazing job.
This is book 3 and has an HEA.
I highly recommend this trilogy series.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I fell in love with this series and was so excited for this book to finally come out. I'm really sad for it to end, but man I loved this book. it made me feel all sorts of emotions and man it was hot in so parts. Amazing writing Jenn D. Young and Sarah Puckett and Tim Paige did a really great job narrating this book ❤️

Entertaining!

This is the third book in the Shadows Ascending Trilogy. The story continues where the second book left off. Lorelei and Vincent's story is entertaining and fast-paced. The supporting characters are interesting. The world building is original. There is a lot going on in this installment. This is a good conclusion to the series, but it really don't feel like this is the end. Can we expect another book, or a spin-off series? Tim Paige and Sarah Puckett did a great job with the narration. #TheFlock

Shadows Ascending Trilogy

Embrace the Shadows (Shadows Ascending Trilogy, Book 3) is the finale of Lorelei and Vincent's paranormal romance. This supernatural adrenaline-fuelled series finale left some promenade's uncharted, perhaps a spinoff series? Suspense drizzled through the smexy story. Good character development and world building descriptions and settings. A sweet tasting epilogue to windup.

Sarah Puckett, Tim Paige are a exceptional cast chosen to narrate this series. Exceptional performance by both narrators. Sarah nails it as usual and Tim Paige was excellent also. Perfect pace and tone.

Paranormal Romance

Embrace The Shadows by Jenn D. Young is a paranormal romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Sarah Puckett and Tim Paige. This is the third book in the Shadows Ascending Trilogy.

This is the first series of Jenn's that I have read, and it won't be my last. She did a great job wrapping up the series. I loved the relationship that was built between Lorelei and Vincent over the course of the series. I really enjoyed getting both of their points of view. It really brought the story to life.

Sarah and Tim did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you like paranormal romance or fantasy romance.

Embrace the Shadows

This was the conclusion to Loreli's story. We got most of the answers we were looking for, and a few big bombshells were dropped. If you are a fan of overprotective alpha males, then this series is for you. The narration was good and helped bring emotion to the story.

Amazing Series Finale! Outstanding Story & Listen🎧

Wow, what an amazing, action-packed series finale and what a brilliant way to conclude a brilliant series. Jenn D. Young created a fascinating world filled with equally fascinating supernatural characters. The world building and character development throughout this series has been phenomenal and if you have not started it yet, you do not know what you are missing. Like the first two books, this story swept me in right from the start, grabbed my attention and captivated it the entire time, it also brought me to the edge of my seat quite a few times. Lorelie and Vincent make a great team and with evil lurking and trying to rise to power, they are readying for the hardest challenge of their lives, to fight their enemy and rid of them for good. There are more surprises and twists and turns in this book and help that she never saw coming. I loved how everything played out in this book, it is a brilliantly plotted and well-written story with plenty of drama, angst, action, twists and turns, thrilling suspense, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. Jenn D. Young that you for this amazing story and series, it was an entertaining and wild ride.

🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful narration, Jenn D. Young could not have chosen a better cast to bring her characters and story to life. Sarah Puckett and Tim Paige’s outstanding performance continues, they have been consistent with the characters’ voices and the quality of the audio has been top-notch throughout the series. They had a complete understanding of the characters they were portraying and I loved how they took each role rant with it and made it their own, sounding believable in every role they played. Sarah Puckett nails it as Lorelie and she was a natural in that role. Tim Paige’s Vincent was just as amazing. Both were great performing the voices for the secondary characters and covering each other’s role in alternating chapters. These mega talented voice artists are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to and their narration enhances an already brilliant story to another level. Thank you for another exceptional listen.
