In one regard, life has taught me not to expect too much from a Novella. Yet I think this one still managed to let down even my low expectations and I'm a little depressed about that.

Cate and her family are seers of the Fae and so must hide their abilities. Rook is a fae who stalks Cate, thinking she can't see him. Their paths collide when one of Cate's friends is kidnapped by the fae. She needs to get into the Fae world to get her friend back and he needs her to begin the Fae conquest of Earth....more

Catherine O'Connell can see the fae that inhabit our world. Except for her three sisters, no one else can. And it would be very, very dangerous for the fae to ever find out that she can see them. So, when ferretlike fae sample her best friend's food at an outdoor cafe, Cate has to pretend she doesn't see them. When a fae practically climbs into her friend's cleavage, Cate can't even let herself look, no matter how much she wants to go, "Eww," just before she squashes the little perv like a bug.

But when the guy her friend Maya hooks up with after a personal ad online turns out to be a big, bad fae, Cate has a really big problem. Because Maya doesn't know about the fae, and her so-called date abducts her right through a rift into faery realm.

Cate has an even bigger problem. Since she turned 16, she's had her own personal fae stalker, named Rook. Rook follows her everywhere, all the time, and she can't ever let him know that she's perfectly aware that he sits behind her when she's reading and breathes down her neck, or that she likes it. Or that she thinks he looks like he belongs on WWE, or that she thinks he's hot.

Or that she's just heard him tell one of his fae groupies that her best friend was abducted as a "war prize" for the upcoming "Invasion".

Except that now she needs a way into the faery realm. And letting Rook know that she can see him might just be her ticket inside. It has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that she's been dreaming of his touch for years. Does it?

And Rook. He is beyond astonishment when Cate reveals that she can see him. He's been watching her fourteen years, since she turned sixteen. But Rook is much, much older than that. But knowing that she can see him changes the game. He had intended to capture her as a warprize, but if she can see him, then she is a Seer, a high-caste prize. Higher in caste than the Prince that he is. And he does not want to give her up to the Court. Rook wants her for himself.

Cate just wants to rescue her friend. These goals are not compatible. Not at all.

Escape Rating C: This is the teaser book for a longer series and it shows. The set up of the "Uplander" world (our world) was interesting, where the fae were here, but most of us couldn't see them. The picture of the havoc they could wreck while we suspected nothing was both funny and nasty.

The fae world needed a LOT more explanation. Cate was a Seer. Because she could "see" the fae in the Uplander world. I got that part. What I didn't understand was why that made her high-caste in the fae world or why all the Seers before her had chosen to stay in the fae realm. The book was too short for the world-building required. I would like to have seen it, I was definitely intrigued.

The next book in the Shadow Sisters series will come out in the Fall of 2012. Cate's sisters will each get their own story.(less)

Theresa Meyers creates a fae world that is easy to get lost in. I like the relationship that Catherine and Rook have - it's an immediate attraction and a different dynamic than most paranormal couples. Together Rook and Catherine set out on a journey to rescue her friend.

I definitely didn't expect to be sucked into this story as much as I was. Shadowlander is a Novella and with me I usually don't get as drawn in to short stories as much as I do with full-length novels. This is definitely the exception. I wasn't sure for the first few pages but then I was sucked in and couldn't put it down. It's an incredible story and I couldn't think of anything else except this story.

Cate has always seen the Fae but has always been brought up to ignore them, to be told how to defend herself against the Fae and that they are manipulative and evil. Then her best friend, Maya gets taken by the Fae so she decides she must go after her. Even after being taught that any 'Seer' who goes into the Fae realm doesn't come back nothing can change her mind. Then she comes face to face with the one Fae who could change everything. Rook has been fascinated by Cate for a long time and followed her since she was sixteen. He is Cate's only chance to get Maya back but can Cate fight her growing attraction to him and Rook's nature to protect her? Will she choose love or her family?

I really liked this book. I was sucked in by the powerful storyline and could not put the book down. I was completely mesmerised by the characters that were built in this book. Especially Cate and how loyal she is to her friends and family. She would give up absolutely everything to go and save the ones that she loved. I loved Rook. I know he was originally painted at the bad guy, all Fae's are supposedly bad but I loved him. He showed read love towards Cate and I just loved him more and more the more than I read.

This book is wrote in the third person and usually I do not like third person narratives as much as first person narratives as I feel like you can't associate with the characters as much but with this book I really enjoyed it. I became attached to the characters and I felt everything through them. I loved that we got to see the perspectives of both Rook and Cate and how they were feeling towards each other and how those feelings grew throughout the book. I loved the world building, how both worlds were portrayed by the narrative and how they were similar but at the same time completely different.

Before receiving this book for review I had never heard of it. I am so glad I received it because it would be a crime to not read this book. It was so good and I cannot wait to read the rest of the series and see what happens next.(less)

In One Word ~ Steamy

Shadowlander is a delicious little novella packed full of action, intrigue and romance. Author Theresa Meyer wasted no time delving into the heart of the story of Cate and Rook.

The fae world created in Shadowlander is dark, edgy and unique. Meyer managed to make her own mark on a world that is heavily represented in paranormal writing. The setting of this fae world was by turns vibrant and ominous, with it's own set of rules and danger.

The story is told in alternating viewpo...more

I really enjoyed the beginning of Shadowlander. However, as the storyline progressed I felt it became a touch too fantastic for my taste. What I liked about the story was the beginning: the urban fantasy feeling, the mix of fae and human reality. The mystery of these two worlds touching and interacting. However, once the story dipped into the Fae realm the storyline just seemed to become too unrealistic for me that I rapidly lost interest.

Cate O'Connell and her three sisters have lived by these three simple rules:

O'Connell Family Rule #1: Don't let the Fae know you see them.
O'Connell Family Rule #2: Don't talk to the Fae.
O'Connell Family Rule #3: Never, ever follow them.

As a seer, one of the few humans with the ability to see the Fae, Cate has trained herself well to mask her reactions to the creatures as they interfere in the daily life of humanity. There may be a tiny ferret looking Fae taking a dip in her iced tea, a toad like Fae digging into the dessert cart or a very sexy Fae male named Rook following her every move that sets her heart racing. All must be ignored so that they remain unaware of her ability. For as long as Cate can remember, her Grandmother has warned her of the danger the Fae pose to her and her sisters.

Cate can no longer afford to hide her gift when her friend Maya is kidnapped by the Fae. Her only hope to get Maya back may be trusting Rook and venturing into the world from which she tried to stay hidden for so long.

Rook is shocked when he realizes Cate can see him. He is even more shocked to discover that she is a Seer. Cate can be used to open the gates between the Fae worlds and help his people win the war against his rivals then eventually help them control the human realm. Rook has been enchanted by Cate for years and is torn between duty to his people as High Court Advisor to his father The Shadow King and to his attraction to Cate.

If Rook hands her over to the court, Cate will be revered and honored by his people as a rare Seer among their ranks but she will also belong to the king and serve as his consort. Rook isn't sure he will be able to let her go so he agrees to help her find her friend in the hopes that Cate will choose to bond with him of her free will and stay in the Shadowland with him.

Shadowlander is a novella that moves at warp speed. On the downside, the relationship and conclusion all come on pretty fast (the book was just over 100 pages on my iPad - 540KB). On the positive side, Meyers has kept her story lean with only essential information with little filler. She has managed to create a fairly complex world, characters, and plot in a very short time frame. I'm not a fan of insta-love but I was able to let my logic take a time out for this one to believe in Cate and Rook. The way he admires and respects her overcame any reservations I may have had. He's alpha for sure but not an ass. He wants her to choose him, not dominate her. I really loved the variety of creatures from the Fae world, especially the giant Black Panthers.

One minor peeve I had was Cate's friend Maya. What a self absorbed jerk. I never understood why they were good friends. I'm not sure I would have been as good as Cate, sacrificing myself to go save her but I guess it gets the story rolling so it's ok.

There was plenty of action and sexy times with a nice set up for the new Shadowlander series. I'm assuming that the future books will be focused on each sister's HEA. We didn't get much of an introduction to them and I'm sad to think we might not get to see more of Cate and Rook. I really enjoyed reading about them.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 - Novella's are becoming my favorite "in-between" books to read. They're inexpensive and the ones I've read recently have been lots of fun with excellent plot development with a conclusion, all in under 1-2 hours. Can't beat that! Shadowlander definitely falls into this category. If you're looking for something quick, a palate cleanser, give this one a try.(less)

Shadowlander is a romance novella; it was designed to be different from the majority of YA books (often trilogies) I tend to read, and I want to respect it as such.

1.Original Descriptions:
I really want to applaud Theresa Meyers for her lack of cliches and overused phrases that often litter romance novels. She very tactfully strays from that, and makes Shadowlander stand out all on its own by doing so. It isn't going to be like every other romance novel you've read, simply because the writing and wording is so different as she describes the various scenes.
2.Steamy- like a sauna:
But that isn't to say that Shadowlander lacks the usual passion, because it doesn't in any way or form! This novella is just slick with sexual tension and racy scenes, and as I mentioned above, that are cleverly portrayed. Cate and Rook portray one of my favourite couples in books, just because of how they interact with each other teasingly- and they don't waste any time!
3.Fae for grown ups:
I may technically be an adult, but there are still so many things I love about the YA world. Yet at the same time, some times you just need something a little different. And Shadowlander provided some aspects I always love to read about (fantasy, love, adventure) but put them in a more grown up setting. Because CONFESSION: I don't always relate to teenagers anymore, as much as I love to read about them (and often do continue to relate to them). But really, this is like Iron Fey all grown up.
Normally, I would say that I found the pacing to be jarring in a story like this and it really is, to an extent. Cate and Rook's relationships moves very quickly but there's a reason for this: it's a romance novella. Novella meaning its a short book, and romance meaning that's the ultimate purpose of the story. So yes, it can feel sudden to read about- but haven't we all felt that sort of instant attraction at some point? And I was pleasantly surprised by how well the plot was set up and carried out. It never felt like it was moving too quickly, and set up the next book rather nicely.

But it means revealing her ability to see them to the alluring Fae who has dogged her steps for years.

Rook's position in his world is high but shadowed by the King's wavering favor. Bringing Cate, a "Seer", to the Shadow King will bring that favor to him. But to Rook, Cate is more than just a pawn to be played at the whims of the Shadow King and his desire for her could prove to be their undoing.

I'm embarrassed admitting this but I wrote something similar to this when I was in high school. I think that's why on the one hand I liked it and on the other it felt sort of juvenile. I loved Meyer's writing style, was easily excited by the world-building, and enjoyed the basic set-up for the series but really disliked the characters. They felt a little too... ugh, I feel like a jerk saying this... flawless. The hot love scenes didn't make up for the lack of personality and chemistry I was looking for in Rook and Cate.

As a novella I felt like very little happened and yet a lot did. Too much talking about things and not enough organic flow of the info. It wasn't awful or unenjoyable it just hit a few of my reader-no-likey buttons. I didn't love it, couldn't quite say I liked it with so many things not working for me but I plan to check out the next one anyway. If you like Fae fantasy most of this takes place in their world and there's plenty of steaminess between Cate and Rook, it's worth a read if you didn't write stuff like this for fun when you were fifteen. lol It just kept taking me back to my awful teenaged ideas—need I say misunderstandings—of what romance and love were.

It kind of sounded like Fever series meets Wicked Lovely to me and to be honest I was just desperate to find my next great UF series with fae, so when I picked this novella up, I was just certain that it would be great. Only to be hugely disappointed once more...

I'm not a big fan of novellas and that is why I try to avoid them usually. I simply think that there's not enough "room" in a novella to develop enough your characters or your plot. Well, one might contradict that there are 500 pages books that seriously lack in both those aspects development, but ok, you get what I mean...
Shadowlander was just a quick read, heavy on the romance department but aside from that a read that I won't remember for long and to sum it up in a sentence: A book that I shouldn't have bothered reading.
It may have been a really quick read as I said and although the story was something I would usually enjoy I just didn't care about the characters or the story whatsoever. I found Rook creepy what with him following a girl for 16 years and Cate a bit "lukewarm" and acting in a stupid way in some cases.

The story was progressing really, really quickly that I couldn't possibly invest or care about the characters and maybe that is something to be expected by a novella but that can't change my feelings I'm afraid. The book starts with Cate having lunch with her best friend, a best friend who is acting nothing like a friend I must add, who is later kidnapped by a fae and Cate rushes to her rescue. Don't get me wrong but from the little I got to know about that best friend I got the feeling that she was a self centered person and where was the need for our heroine to jeopardise everything, her family most importantly to save her from a fate she didn't even know how bad it was? I don't know, I just couldn't get Cate's sacrifice. The next major let down was when she formed a kind of a plan to save that friend, exposed herself to that creepy fae that has been stalking her for 16 years and from one minute to next she's madly attracted to him and talking about "recharging" sex (think of sex as a form of battery for the energy sources of a fae). Just couldn't go along with it for some reason.

Anyway, there were a couple more things that made me roll my eyes while reading this novella but bottom line is, that although the premise indicates a story more than intriguing, the execution of the story spoiled things for me. Maybe I shouldn't be expecting more, cause this is a novella after all, but truthfully I don't really think that's the case. The thing is that for this to be a good story there were lots and lots of things that should be added. As it is, I feel that Shadowlander is the plan of a full book that will be written again in the future.(less)

I enjoyed the chemistry between the protag, Cate and the fae prince, Rook. At times the story seemed to fade into the background and you just want to skip the b.s. and get down to business. I will say though, it is worth the wait.

Overall, I enjoyed this story and I look forward to the next one. Bring on more Rook!
