Beyond that bullshit there were references to some modern things that jarred me and lifted me right out of the setting. Caldris mentions the concept of baby trapping as if that’s a concept that exists in a supposedly medieval world. He says that something must have been “a bitter plant to swallow” cause you know no pills in this world. Admittedly that made me laugh. I don’t think I’ve heard of this series, but it sounds good. And beautiful cover too! Great review! Now we come to the most toxic thing he did that made me actually nauseous. Now dubious consent is admittedly not my thing but this scene was almost literally rape. He gets all alpha angry about a dead Fae and comes after Estrella to assault her whether she likes it or not. And one of the worst things is there is another character there begging her to just give him what he wants. The audacity. Then she actually cries whilst he “has sex” with her. She even describes that she’s in pain but you know she just has to do this for him so he won’t hurt anyone else. Just no. I don’t want to draw too many parallels because this world and storyline are unique, but this book made me feel like a kingdom of flesh and fire (which is my favorite FBAA book) – it had the angst and the jokes, travel , seeing the world, meeting new groups of people/beings. And Harper L. Woods does use the language correctly. I feel totally immersed in her world, without any crazy intense medieval language, and she doesn’t try to add modern jargon. For example, I think it’s great how he says that his mother is in a “wheelchair”. We know what you’re talking about, but it feels more appropriate for the book than “wheelchair”. i have a feeling the next book is going to a whole lot better in terms of plot, so im looking forward to that.

entertaining if you enjoy mindless romance. lol. because thats all this is. and i guess a little character development. and a tad bit of world building. but there is zero plot progression, which forces me to label this as filler. The Wild Hunt waits for none… not even the secrets waiting at the gates of Alfheimr. Estrella’s story continues. Author’s Note: This book is intended for readers who are 18 and older. It contains mature language, graphic violence, and explicit content with darker elements. This is book two in a series and ends in a cliffhanger. What Hunts Inside the Shadows by Harper L. Woods – eBook DetailsNothing existed outside of the two of us, the world beyond our bond existing outside of the haven we created. Without my glamour to lessen it, the magic seemed to pulse through the air, the hands of the Fates and their threads working to connect us as we had always been destined to be.” The author seems to be really good at making you not like a book during like 75% of it, and then catching you good at the end so well that you have to read the next book. Yeah. Ok. This was just as bad as the first book, I mean by this point I should feel something for the male mc other then hate right??

Have I told you how much I despise you lately?” I asked, narrowing my eyes into a glare that felt like it dripped venom. Trigger warnings: murder, violence, kidnapping, childhood trauma, suicidal ideation, attempted suicide, references to death, attempted assassination The romance between Estrella and Caelum was amazing. Caelum is such a romantic guy. Yes, he is cruel and definitely a bit scary at times. And I loved him so much. He was just sooooo swoon worthy at times. But just as with the first book, I found this book also a bit to crude at times. And there where some moments in this book where I wanted to just continue and skip the next ‘intimate’ moment. After reading ‘What Lies Beyond The Veil’ in February, I was super exited to get my hands on ‘What Hunts Inside The Shadows’. This is book two in the Of Flesh and Bone series, and it’s definitely not a standalone. The Plot and World Building exploded in this one. I loved getting more lore and building from book 1.I do wish the author would bring more to the characters personalities. There's always one trait that dominates them. Also, the author really needs to do something about the constant traveling, it's tiresome.

Even when she hated him he still roped her into sex cause she just couldn’t deny the attraction. The mating bond was a crutch in this book. It was toxic. And I absolutely love fated mates. It has NEVER made me this uncomfortable. It felt like a way to make Estrella do things she didn’t want to because of the bond. I just didn't really know who the villian was in this story. I didn't know what our end goal was for most of this story. Another reason why things felt so confused might have been because we were on a very, very long journey into the Fae world - which we had been inching toward in the previous book. So we never saw anywhere new. We actually made a round about circle to all the places in the previous book which was unbearably boring to me.While I really enjoyed What Lies Behind the Veil, the first in this series, I’m sad to say I did not enjoy this follow-on. All of the sudden, Estrella has these magical powers that exceed anyone else’s powers. She’s special and unique and they’re not sure what she is but she’s oh so extraordinary. but its filler i found worth reading because caelums love for estrella is what dreams are made of and the mystery surrounding estrella, what she is, and her powers is enough to keep me hooked.
