Review: Shadow (New Species, #9) by Laurann Dohner

Shadow by Laurann Dohner
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I discovered this series by chance and am I glad I did – I could say I have become totally addicted to the New Species World. Crazy, really!! I finish one book and can’t wait to start the next!!!

New Species Rock!!!

So amazing to finally have a story where both mc’s are species. A relationship between a male Species and a gift species female. Totally captivated me.

Shadow and Beauty are the most endearing and lovable couple.

Both with pasts filled with sadness, cruelty and never experienced love or care from anyone, trying to find a meaning in their new free lives. Learning and experiencing new things….the scenes where Shadow and Beauty learn to swim is just amazing.

I was enchanted by Beauty – her innocence, her openness to new experiences and finding someone to love really touched me. She has become my favorite heroine in this series!!
I adored Shadow.

He’s alpha-male with a ott protectiveness towards Beauty but at the same time he respects her needs and wants and doesn’t just grab her and “mount” her like most of the other specie males do with their human females!!!!
Two people, who want to be loved, who want to be together and build a life…that’s what I loved the most in this story. Less outside influences and more about the two as they grow closer together.

I enjoyed the slow build-up of their relationship and, of course there are hot and steamy sex scenes but none of one after another scene….quite a change from previous books.
The interaction between the Species is really awesome. Loving, humorous, caring….they could show us humans a thing or two about having a heart and soul. A cast of fascinating characters that I can’t get enough of.
I am so looking forward to Breeze’s book…………there is going to be one, right?????? She’s such an unforgettable character and her story should be written!!!!

Yes, you are so right………….I opened page 1 of the next book, which happens to be Moon’s story, after turning last page of this book…..there is a cliffhanger here, after all………Moon getting shot…I have to know what happens to him.
