Books from the Backlog #194

 

Books from the Backlog is a fun way to feature some of those neglected books sitting on your bookshelf unread.  If you are anything like me, you might be surprised by some of the unread books hiding in your stacks. This is a fun meme hosted by Carole's Random Life in Books!

From bestselling author Marianne Curley comes the highly anticipated return to the Guardians of Time Series…

The battle is over. The war is won. The prophecy complete.

But life can’t just pick up where it left off for Ethan. Struggling to cope with the death of his soul-mate, at odds with his friends in the Guard, he finds himself adrift, jumping at shadows and sensing someone who can’t possibly be there.

Blaming herself for Lathenia’s death, Jesilla swears to avenge her mother and fulfil her vision for world domination. But she hadn’t planned to fall in love. And that leaves her with an unbearable choice – should she follow her heart or the parental strings of a Goddess, short on praise but high on expectation, who continues to pull on her from the grave?

As the Guard and the Order battle through the past and into an impossible future, darkness lurks around every corner. The fight for the world’s survival will rest with just one.

Is it friend or foe that stands in The Shadow?

It saddens me that I still need to read Marianne Curley's The Shadow! I added this to my TBR pile in March of 2018...although Goodreads says it was in April of of 2018 from one source, another says April 2019! So I possibly added it early as I sometimes did...? This was a loooong waited addition--that was a surprise to get--to a series I looooved as a teen! I obviously needed a re-read of the original books before I could dive into this one! I did re-read these wayyyy back in the day, maybe not as much as her first book, Old Magic, but I re-read them at least once or twice! But yes, this is one I am aching to read but just haven't gotten worked into my reading queue as of yet. Hopefully someday soon!
