 Rating:  - great bookoh WOW this book was great just glad what i got it when i got the 1st book and book 3 to read one after the other i could not put them down and now i am waiting for the next one they are full of action and you get thinking that you are really living as cassie if you get in to your books like me and can get the pictures in you head as you read. you really get in to it a great book and left me wanting more not looking for all her books Rating:  - Four and a Half StarsI remember the first book in the Cassandra Palmer series finished on something of a cliffhanger and I admit here to only having a vague memory of Book 1 when I started Claimed by Shadow. I do remember having a problem with some infodumping in Touch the Dark (Bk1) and that Karen Chance is very good at writing first lines. The first line situation is still the same "Any day that starts off in a demon-filled bar in a casino designed to look like Hell isn't likely to turn out well." But the info-dumping? Gone. Or at least become so much smoother and integrated into the plot that I didn't notice it. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Even though I spent a fair bit of time confused about what was going on, especially ... Read More: Rating: - Not quite as good as the first, but still essential reading!Having been enthralled by the book previous to this, Touch the Dark, I dove straight into this one when I finished it. And I'm very glad I did. It was definitely better to read the two books back-to-back as the plot is complicated in places. I think Claimed by Shadow will be much easier to follow when the first book is still fresh in your mind. Anyway, onto the action. We left Cassie Palmer as heir to the role of Pythia - an immensely powerful magical being whose job it is to travel back and forth in time to solve problems and eradicate any rogues that are trying to alter history. The only problem is, Cassie doesn't want the job. If she becomes Pythia, she will have every type of magical creature after her (even more than usual) to either ... Read More: Rating:  - Slightly Disapointed - Touch the Dark was betterDid not live up to expectations. The ending was not good. What happened to Tomas in the end? Maybe I skipped more than I should have. I was hoping Mircae was going to perform the ritual. After all it was Tomas who did it under not so special circumstances. The title should read Claimed by the shadowS. However, sadly, i think i will continue to reading further series for Mircea character. Rating: - How long until the next one........???I loved 'Touch the Dark' and have been dying for the next installment to arrive. Fortunately, it didn't disappoint! The plot traces Cassie's journey from partial Pythia to the real deal, while acquiring some new problems in the form of a malfunctioning geis and a quest for a book of Merlin's spell - and she's still looking for her vampire nemesis, Tony. The ongoing war that pitches the Vampire Senate and the Silver Circle against Rasputin and the Black Circle is rumbling on, but is not central to developments. The plot meshes beautifully with the previous novel, with little strands being picked up and developed. The author's style is fluent and highly engaging. The book is written in the first person from Cassie's ... Read More: |
