The Shadow Elf
by Terry Spear
Goodreads blurb: Persephonice is given the mission of
distracting the shadow elves who are bound to learn what is blocking their
water source before they discover a space ship is sitting in the middle of
their river. That's how all the trouble begins.
Extended Description
Persephonice is an overseer--an observer and recorder of information about inhabitants of civilized worlds. Only she's lost her lifemate and cannot be an overseer without one. She's given a second chance if she can prove she's worthy if she can survive an inhospitable planet inhabited by elves and other mythical creatures she's only read about, very little of which is known of them except that they constantly battle amongst themselves and are not civilized enough to safely observe.
The shadow elf, Dracolin, a warrior given the task of learning what is blocking their water source, doesn't expect to find the most unusual creature he's ever encountered--a red-haired, green-eyed land-bound mermaid. That's only the beginning. She understands and can speak his language, falls off cliffs without injuring herself, and swims like a mermaid--without the fishtail.
Everyone is intrigued with her--except some fear her uniqueness and want to destroy her. That is the problem with observing uncivilized worlds.

My Thoughts - 4 out of 5 Unicorns - I really liked it!!!
***Received a code from the author to
listen to and review the audio version of the book
The
cover is stunning, but it doesn’t really scream from space. It seems magical, but nothing grabs my
attention.
This
is another audiobook that I listened to with my son in the car. It was very unexpected. I did not read the blurb before listening to
this book. I was expecting something
like the World of Fae but with Elves. I
was so wrong, but it really worked.
It
took a while for me to really connect with the characters, but I think it is
because it was a new world with unexpected twists. I was initially a little lost, but it did
become more clear as you went what was going on. I think this is like Star Trek meets a Fae
realm. It is a really cool idea. I’m wondering if there will be more of either
the Elven World or of the Overseers. I
will admit though as of right now I’d still want to slap the Overseers, but you
will have to read or listen to see why.
Persephonice
starts out kind of fragile with grief, but she becomes strong, and I really
loved her as a character. She encounters
so much trouble and overcomes all the stereotypes that she has been filled with
out races who are full of passion.
Dracolin
is a fierce warrior, and he is not sure why he is so drawn to Persephonice. There is lots of adventure and several men
who need to be slapped, but it was a very enjoyable story :) I think if this is a series, it will only get
better :)
Maria
is a new narrator for me, and she did take some time getting used to her
style. Once you get used to it, she is a
very good narrator. I’m definitely going
to listen to more of her stuff especially if it is written by Terry Spear.
I
recommend this story to all the Terry Spear fans out there especially if you
want a unique story :)
Interested in reading???
