First Light by Elizabeth Hunter is now live!
In the Shadowlands, strangers wear familiar faces, myths are reality, and lies hide behind the most beautiful stories.
About the Book:
Lachlan Murray disappeared without a trace. As his girlfriend, twenty-nine-year-old Carys Morgan refuses to accept the police’s explanation—that he simply left her. She travels to Scotland to seek help from Lachlan’s twin brother Duncan, and learns she was right—Lachlan didn’t leave her, he left her world to return to his own.
The Shadowlands are a mirror of the world Carys knows. Every human in her world also exists in this one with one key difference—magic.
Humans aren’t supposed to be able to wield the magic of the Shadowlands, but when Carys learns she can talk to dragons, she’s drawn deeper into a complicated world that would as soon kill her as keep her. And if magic and murder weren’t enough to overcome, she must navigate complicated feelings for two identical men from vastly different worlds.
USA Today Bestselling Author Elizabeth Hunter weaves an enchanting adventure, full of mythology and romance, in the first installment of a brand new romantic portal fantasy!
My Review:
First Light is the first book in Elizabeth Hunter's new Shadowlands series and the story is fantastically amazing. I was drawn in by the author (I read everything I can by Elizabeth Hunter) and the synopsis. As a huge lover of dragon stories I knew First Light would be right up my alley. This book is about so much more than dragons, though.
When Carys's boyfriend, Lachlan, up a disappears one day, she takes it upon herself to travel to Scotland to find him. First stop is his twin brother's home. Duncan isn't excited to see her but Carys is persistent. When Carys finally breaks down Duncan's walls, he tells her fantastical stories about fairytales being real, other worlds, and magic. What she finds in the Shadowlands, however, are lies, deceit, and treachery. As she navigates a world she only thought was alive through mythologies, her life and the lives of those she's come to know may be in danger.
This novel was extremely well-crafted. First Light is full of world building, character introduction & development, mythology, and fairytales. Everything about First Light just works. The novel is interesting, full of action and adventure, and draws the reader in from the start. The writing is fluid and cohesive, never becoming wordy or confusing. The pacing of the story is excellent and isn't too fast, slow, or boring. The main and supporting characters are well written, developed at the proper speeds, and likable. This is an excellent work of fiction.
I am a huge fan of Elizabeth Hunter and devour everything she writes.
