Publisher's summary

To be loved by a shadow in the Mist.

Every month, for three days, a mysterious fog filled with demonic creatures swallows the world. Since its first appearance a decade ago, I’ve diligently secured my home against the danger. Today, my sister’s negligence has allowed something in. A Mistwalker. A part of him now resides inside of me, his brand on my chest a constant reminder of his presence. He terrifies me and threatens to derail the life I’ve been building. And yet, a part of me is drawn to him.…

I have walked two worlds to be with her.

For years, I have lurked in the Mist, lying in wait for the opportunity to get to my fiery Jade. Now that humans have torn the Veil, nothing will keep me from crossing into the Mortal Plane to claim her. She’s my mate. I will not allow her to hide from the truth she knows deep within her but fears to acknowledge. I was made for her. I am her greatest wish.

An unexpected jewel in the rough

I really enjoyed this story. It was fresh and the characters were sweet - except for the nightmares. Even then...they did exactly what they're supposed to.
I am surprised the narrator is a male when most of the book was from the POV of the female lead. His voice was almost detached at times and unless there was great emotion needed sounded clinical. He was not good at discerning between the female and male POV and at times made it difficult to understand who was talking/thinking.
Lovely story tho! Definitely, HEA don't worry.

Questionable Issues

This is a very interesting storyline; however, some things didn’t make sense. I don’t want to give the story away by expounding on the issues I have; but it is regarding Jade and her wishes. James did an excellent job with males; but not so much with females, sounded more like he was reading aloud instead of acting the part. Hopefully a female narrator will be added along with James. Off to a good start!

Awesome!

One of my all time favorite stories. Regine is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. The concept was so unique!

amazing concept

Extremely unique concept. I definitely have not heard this concept before! Would have definitely like to have heard female voice for the female POV.

Really great

This was a great story! The narrator has such a sexy voice. I loved it.

Mistwalker

This was a new storyline for me. I was not sure how I would feel about it. It had a pleasant turn of events for the characters. I appreciated the inclusion of how hatred for those who are different can harm the innocent. People who express such hate for “differences” should never be in a position of power. I am glad the couple was able to be reunited. I love Regine’s books.

I want to really like this but...

I think I would have liked this book more if it has a woman voicing the FMC's POV. James C. Jones has a sexy voice, and he did the MMC's voice beautifully. But when the book has dual POVs, I like a male and female narrator for the different POVs.

What I liked/look for:
• FMC is smart (yes, she's in denial at some points, but she gets out of it pretty quickly)
• MMC is protective, passionate, and determined - He doesn't give up easily
• Happily Ever After

What bothered me:
The writing - There were too many jumps in the story where more detail could have been put into the development of their relationship that the author left out. This story almost feels like it was rushed. It has so much potential of showing a really strong character and relationship development that makes it fall flat.

outstanding

I loved this book, the narrator's voice was wonderful to hear. The book itself was predictable but lovethe journey.

Don’t waste your $ or credit

Intriguing premise but poorly written. I wanted to like this but I just couldn’t stay tuned in. It just wasn’t good enough to finish. Interesting concept tho, too bad. Not much of a plot at all.

Couldn’t get behind narrator

This story had a lot of potential. I got through most of it but having only a male narrator for what felt like a story that was more than half female perspective felt odd but it was read as if the narrator had never read the story before or he was reading it for the first time. Super choppy and awkward and I couldn’t get past it to finish.
