Shadow Me (Immortal Vices and Virtues: Shadow Shifter Bonds #2)
Annie Anderson
Once upon a time, I killed a god and stole his power. I’ve been paying for it ever since. After my banishment, I promised myself three things. I would never take a mate. I would find a way to get rid of the power I stole. I would punish the gods who banished me. Not necessarily in that order. There’s just one teeny, tiny little problem. That power I hate? It’s a siren call to the ones who banished me, letting them know I’ve broken out of their prison. And that mate I don’t want? Well, he found me first, and he has no intention of letting me go anytime soon–even with his life on the line. Trusting him breaks every one of my rules, but it might be the only way to save us both. Shadow Me is a spicy standalone romantasy set in the Immortal Vices and Virtues Universe. Every book is a guaranteed happily ever after with a satisfying ending and no cliffhangers. Perfect for fans of Immortals After Dark, Black Dagger Brotherhood, and the Demonica series.

Wow, who could possibly put this down after that prologue?!
The start did keep up the intrigue, but not the excitement, it ended up being more slow-paced, but built the world and introduced the characters a bit—no complaints. And the excitement did pick back up appropriately. I prefer the intrigue / slow-build/ world-building style myself, so this was a very fun read.
Gods / mythology.
Vengeance.
Tartarus.
Fated mates.
Gargoyles.
Lots of witty banter.
Slow-burn romance.
Fun world-building.
Environmental consciousness.
Overall, this left me wanting to explore more from this author—I think I’m officially a fan. And it was a fun installment for the IVV world, as some have more world-building than others. Anderson nails this while simultaneously putting her own spin on everything, including mythology. Brilliant.
4 stars.
