A Reflection of Shadows

This is a fun book to read loved the story

This is my second book by this author and I loved it just as much as the first one! I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!!

This is book 3 of An Elemental Steampunk Tale series. This book is well written. When I read my first steampunk book I didn’t think I would like it but I was wrong, I really enjoyed and same with this book I was not disappointed. I recommend reading. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I was amazed by A Reflection of Shadows. Almost instantly I was drawn in and quickly lost myself amongst the pages of Colleen and Nick’s tale. I liked Colleen’s strong mindedness and her keen intellect. Nick is a wonderful character too. He’s supportive and caring. I like his sense of humor. It definitely made me chuckle on numerous occasions. I loved going on this adventure with them.

A sneak thief and a secret agent falling in love as they slip about London.

A Reflection of Shadows is another exciting adventure set in Ms. Renwick’s clever steampunk historical London. Building on the foundation set in The Iron Fin, the story further explores the idea of humans exhibiting animal-like traits. This time around Colleen, with her golden eyes and increased dexterity like a cat, uses her unique features as a thief of goodwill. In her journeys and among her society engagements, she’s befriended the handsome Nicholas Torrington, an agent of the queen, with ties to organizations and characters explored in previous titles. As an agent of the queen Nick has seen it all, but when he hears of an experimental device that may save his dying sister’s weak heart, his missions become personal. Seizing the opportunity to express his admiration to Colleen and win her over by making her his partner, Nick proposes marriage as a matter of convenience, but intends to make Colleen his bride. The pair work to discover the truth behind layers of subterfuge and hope to save Anne in the process. While I found the opening of A Reflection of Shadows a bit confusing as I tried to piece together the separate yet intertwining stories behind Nick and Colleen, the story soon picked up pace and was gripping until the very end. I love watching the pair work as truly equal partners. Nick trusts Colleen completely and respects her intellect and decision-making. He knows the way to her heart isn’t through flowers and dances, but secretive roof-top missions and clandestine rendez-vous. He is her perfect partner, and I loved watching him pursue her affection. Colleen loves her life and isn’t certain she wants to give up anything for a man, so it’s with true admiration and a bit of relief that she finds herself falling for Nick. While always attracted to the man, she is cautious with her heart and is rewarded with her perfect match in Nick. What happens to Colleen in the name of furthering medical science is horrifying, and the author doesn’t let the pair come together easily. The traitorous villains surround the couple and nearly finish their romance before it truly has time to bloom. A Reflection of Shadows is filled with exciting adventure, surprising twists, and a lovely, sexy romance. I adore Colleen and Nick. Their story is an excellent addition to the Elemental Web Chronicle world. My Rating: B+ Liked It A Lot Review copy provided by author
