To Shatter the Night

Let me start by saying I love Katherine Quinn, her writing, and the style of it. It is lavish and mystical, filled with everything I look for in a romantic book, and this one was no different.

After reading To Kill A Shadow, I couldn't wait to get my hands on To Shatter the Night. I didn't know how it could stand up to the first book, but it did, and in my opinion, surpassed it.

Kiara and Jude, ohh, just thinking of their names,  the magical moments in this book, they're going to live rent-free in my head for a while, and I'm not mad about it.

This book is a masterclass in visual storytelling; it's immersive, spellbinding even, letting you feel like you've been wrapped up in the shadows, watching from the sidelines as this story unfolds, and I loved it.

I will say that by now, I've made my feelings on cruelty to and death of animals clear, and while this one did have some moments, there was also a very clear trigger-waning page that let me know it was going to happen, keep an eye out for it and skim past some parts that I didn't feel the need to read. I appreciate those warnings more than I can say.
