A Shift in Darkness [AUDIO]

I read the physical copy when it came out and didn't think I wcould love it more. Then the audiobook came out and blew me away. The narrator has been the same through out the series and really brings the story to life in ways that make you feel all the feels.

Loved the overlay and while marked as an imperfect copy, I could barely find any imperfections

I couldn’t even tell it was an imperfect copy! Came signed and with a stunning overlay. So happy with this purchase!

Cian and Dante have been kidnapped and Nemain gathers her most powerful friends and heads out on a deadly rescue mission.

Another excellent episode in the life of our favourite shifter and her band of misfits. This time they take on the might of the Gods and the Vampires in order to return their loved ones to the fold.

Great characters, excellent world building and a very interesting plot

About time!! That was such a slow burn 🔥

The plot twist just keep on coming

This was super helpful for us, to explain wtf happened to Nemain that had lead her to the point in her life where the story begins.

Loving nemain and how gods/godesses , fae, and so many other thing blend seamlessly in this book.

Also I was glad I was right about her brothers lover!

Connor is a dick 😅 and I’m hoping her removes that stick from his butt as we progress. Also glad while the main storyline isn’t even shown until later, that we had a nice ending to the side one

The POV change was a nice change up .i can’t wait to learn more about the Valkyrie storyline

I had listened to the first audiobook before this one. You can truly read/listen to this book whenever. It's a great story that shows the FMC character being a badass solo. I love how this book leads into the first book of the series without it giving away anything or you missing anything if you read it out of order.

I really do enjoy this narrator and this book series has me hooked. I love all the different creatures in the world. I am excited to continue my visits to this world in future books. Please if you like paranormal books, read this series.

This is the first book in the Legacy Series and I got to listen to the audio book. The narrator started off shaky for me but within the first quarter, I was pulled into this book and the voices for each character was easy to follow at my sped-up listening. I will be starting the next audiobook today.

The world Maddox Grey created drew me in. I love that it contains multiple universes, witches, warlocks, shifters, fae, demons, and some Greek gods. I quickly became invested in Nemain's life and enjoyed having a FMC that was not a teenager or even young adult. I really enjoyed how we got the backstory throughout the story and the twists that came along the way.

There wasn't a ton of spice in this book, though what it had was spicy. If you're looking for a good read or a great audiobook, pick-up A Shift in Shadows.

Nemain and her friends go head-to-head against the vampires and gods in their efforts to rescue Cian and Dante, who have been kidnapped.

This is a series with fully-formed, mature and powerful characters. Nemain is one of the “good guys”, but this hasn’t always been the case. Her dark past, and her ruthless brand of justice in the present, make her an interesting and multi-dimensional character. The supporting characters are equally engaging and fleshed out.

The pace is unrelenting, the writing both witty and dark. There are a couple of spicy scenes, but the main focus of the story is on the action (with a splash of romance). I enjoyed the book thoroughly and highly recommend it for fans of contemporary fantasy with a healthy dose of action adventure.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This series lives rent free in my head. I was excited to get more of Cian and Hades backstory as well as the character advancements with the rest of the band of misfits. Already impatiently awaiting the next adventure for our group.

My order was perfect! Thanks again!

I ordered and received the audiobook bundle of Books 0.5 - 5. Quick and easy receipt and download. The quality is amazing!!! Not to mention the series itself is pretty stellar 👌 ✨️ 😎

Enthralling instalment, don’t miss this series! a must have for your library :)

I loved this little Sigrun novella! I feel like I know this character (and others) so much better now, and it’s getting me even more excited for the next installment of the series.

✨super quick read
✨Norse mythology
✨found family
✨made me love a lot of the side characters more
✨a headboard moment 👀

An excellent series with relatable characters and fascinating plots. Audio Narration is first class

Books came wrapped nicely and all in perfect condition. The overlays are so cool as these are the first books I've purchased with overlays! I can't wait to read this series!!

That is how you end a book!! 👏👏👏

What I loved
- I loved being back in Nemain’s head. Her thought process, inner dialogue, and overall awesomeness are my favorites. Plus, her ability to self-reflect (even if it’s hesitantly at first) just proves that you can always grow no matter how old you are
- The best found family
- Enemies to lovers (or as a good friend lovingly calls them, idiots to lovers 🥰)
- DRAGONS
- More action and scenes with our favorite side characters (and some new ones!)
- That epilogue 🫢

Side note: For those who read and enjoyed Throne of Glass, do you remember how great it was to have a really long series with characters you love and events that keep you on the edge of your seat? I was afraid I’d never find another series like that again, but here we are 😍.

I cannot wait to see where Maddox sends us next!!

Came quickly. Looks amazing. Can't wait to read them.

I am a devourer of books; those who know me will attest to this. I gobbled this book right up!

After a rocky start to their relationship, Nemain trains with Kalen and Badb to hone her powers.
Her relationships slowly evolve with Mikhail (🌶️x100) and even Dante.
This book focuses on Nemain and her merry band of misfits embarking on a dangerous journey to Eddie's home realm to fulfill her blood debt to him and her order from the Unseelie Queen.
Despite their progress, danger looms ahead as Nemain and their friends rally to prepare against an imminent war with Balor and his allies.
A Shift In Ashes is my favorite book so far.
The world-building continues to expand as we discover new realms and characters.
I love the dynamic of Nemain and her found family. Nemain is cunning and sarcastic, as always. However, she may have met her match in Mikhail. Their relationship had me giggling, crying, cursing, and gasping. I never knew what mood they would be in from one moment to the next, stabby or "STABBY." These two are going to give me a heart attack.
If you're looking for a thrilling and engaging read, this is just what you need. The story is packed with non-stop action and epic quests that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The characters are dynamic and vibrant, each with distinct personalities and quirks that add depth to the story. The clever and witty dialogue makes for an immersive and entertaining experience. And if that's not enough, the slow-burn romance will keep you hooked.

The protagonist of this story, Bryn, is an endearing and lovable character who makes me feel a strong urge to comfort and reassure her. In comparison, Nemain, the main character in the previous books, plays a more minor role this time. However, I find Nemain more captivating as a supporting character, a wild, ancient, and unpredictable cat who serves as a guardian to a Valkyrie. It was enlightening to see her and Mikhail's relationship from a different point of view. Watching the development of Bryn and Elisa's relationship was also cute and heartwarming—lastly, the cats provide crazy amounts of entertainment throughout the story.

Nemain and her merry band of misfits are back; they are going to the fae realm this time! Their mission- is to rescue a powerful fae child. Their journey is mysterious, intriguing, dangerous, and thrilling as secrets come to light, old and new, in this incredible realm, and our characters struggle with their powers.
The world-building is fascinating, the characters are evolving, and the storyline is captivating. This book has everything - action, adventure, prophecies, and a touch of romance. I enjoyed it immensely and can't wait for more. The story is filled with suspense and action, and the unexpected twists kept me on the edge of my seat. At times, my emotions were so mixed up that I felt like screaming, crying, or throwing my Kindle at the wall, but eventually, I reconsidered.

I love this series so much! It was fun to see the POV of Sigrun, a 2,000+ year old Valkyrie. Her journey is a part of the overall conflict of the series, but the growth and depth we get is refreshing. I cannot wait for the rest of the series to come out!!

This series gets better and better. The emotional growth that Nemain goes through, and the new realm she and the gang explore, is such an amazing story. The amount of times a gasped and screaming is embarrassing, but I live for it! This book goes even deeper into Nemain and I love her so much!

This was a fast read and I am so excited to get a new POV from the series! Bryn still has a lot to learn about her Valkyrie powers, and a new layer of threats has been identified. I really enjoy this series and how it is a slow burn of the big story!

The world only expands and shows more of Nemain’s power and introduces more of the chosen family. It is so interesting to see how each character brings a new side of Nemain and the overall story!

This is such a unique urban fantasy story! I love Nemain’s journey through trauma and coming into her power. It’s just the tip of the iceberg!!

What I loved
🪽 quick read
🪽 the beginnings of a sapphic love story
🪽 great recaps of relevant info from the previous books
🪽POV switch
I was a little hesitant about it because I was enjoying Nemain’s perspective, but it was honestly perfect! I loved learning more about other characters while watching Nemain from Bryn’s eyes
🪽 new characters
I loved the introduction of new and interesting characters and can’t wait to see how they are viewed once we get back to Nemain’s POV
