I was given a free copy of the book by the author in exchange for an honest review
If you’re looking for an atmospheric thriller with a touch of suspense and a fresh concept, this book is just what you need.
I generally avoid monster stories because of how overused some ideas are and how they repeat each other; but I believed the reviewers and decided to give this one a try, and I wasn’t disappointed. The author’s idea was fresh and believable, and it’s the first thing I especially liked about this book.
The second was the setting and chilly, mysterious atmosphere of the story. There’s something about wilderness that makes any horror story especially thrilling.
The third thing that I liked was the two main characters’ relationship, which is often too unrealistic in books and movies. They’ve just met, and here they are fighting evil together and falling in love at first sight. But in this book, the romance was done tastefully and never overtook the plot. The fact that the characters themselves had very attractive personalities made it even better – you know how any relationship is more intriguing when you actually want or don’t want things to happen between the two. Characters that can make you care about them are essential to any story and all parts of it, whether it’s action or romance or drama.
Overall, Shadow Dragon is a great debut novel that deserves 5 stars!
