Description
It’s a strange thing to wake up dead, knowing you are standing in the center of unchangeable destiny—strange, yet acceptable. When the moment holds the death of someone you love—that’s where the rules of destiny deserve to be broken.
Cara Wynter read a book that told her stories of another place, a forgotten time. As she read, she remembered the man she loved—the dark stranger in her dreams, re-lived her own death in his arms. Now, he is in front of her, wanting her, loving her, desperate to save her, even from herself.
From the dark halls of Hades to the hidden mountains of Transylvania, Cara finds herself falling yet again for the man who once traded his soul to save her own. Spells, witches, mythical creatures, and ancient, avenging gods threaten her daily. Terrifying, emerging powers and twisted murders—are her new normal. The horrors she tried for years to ignore, come for her with a vengeance, dragging her into a hidden world of fantasy, and magic.

I received an arc of this book from NetGalley for my honest review. This was a new to me author and I realized that Blood and Shadows is actually book two in a series. You definitely need to read Ancient Dreams first to understand the story! I devoured Ancient Dreams and was so sucked into the world that J.P. Roth weaved that I could not wait to jump into book two Blood and Shadows.
Cara Wynter read a book that told her stories of another place, a forgotten time. As she read, she remembered the man she loved—the dark stranger in her dreams, re-lived her own death in his arms. Now, he is in front of her, wanting her, loving her, desperate to save her, even from herself.
Wow, I am literally speechless there is so much happening as we continue to follow Cara and her twin Lily as they embark on an adventure that takes them to from Hades to Transylvania. The imagery and descriptive writing is done so well that it will have you completely sucked in. If you love a story with duel time lines, magic, vengeful gods and goddesses, strong familial bonds, and a tragic love this is for you. The ending was wonderfully done and left me wanting more. I can't wait for book three!

Cara, a daughter of witches who struggles with her lineage and the powers that have come with it. Sh read a book that sheds light on troubling dreams and puts a dangerous quest in motion. Cara is a time walker, suspended between the world of living and the dead. She watches the man she loves bargaining with beings to save her and her soul from a spell by gods and goddesses. She is caught in a web of spells, witches, mythical creatures besides volatile gods who threaten her daily besides making her sense of existence is.
I had to tell you that this a second book of “Ancient Dreams” which gave me some difficulty reading the book. I actually went and read/skimmed the first book of the series. It’s easier to understand Cara’s journey in the second book. The author wrote an excellent fantasy novel. The female characters are compelling. It is a tragic love story too.
