That’s the question Lila Gray asks every time yet another bad guy tries to destroy the earth, and she learns she’s the only one who can stop it. Once again, something’s on the prowl, leaving hundreds of comatose, soulless victims in its wake.

I got this book as a R2R from J. Taylor publishing. So thank you very much. I went back and read the first book of this series before starting this one and I am glad that I did. You do not get a lot of recapping in this book and because the main issue in the first book is resolved mostly by the end of that book, you will miss out of the development of Lila. You really need to read this series in order so you can get a clear understanding of Lila. I think this book is even better than the first o...more
This book/series is amazing and a must read for YA fans for the supernatural and a sexually intense romance. Jocelyn Adams has not disappointed in this second book in the Lila Gray series that will captivate you from the first pages.
Beautifully written, tastefully done and in a first person protagonist.
With your Heart in your throat, heat pumping through your veins and the intoxicating need to stay in the story and be with Lila to the end is gripping.

Well Well....Jocelyn Adams.. The world needs to know about your books! I enjoyed reading 'The Glass Man' and remember when i'd finished the last page, feeling deflated that book two was not in front of me :( 'Shadowborn' just blew me away! I feel as though I have come back from a great journey, in this case a journey with 'Lila Gray' , along with her fae friends. I cried, I laughed and in the end I had a smile from ear to ear :)

Overall, I really like the series. It's not too often you can stumble across a new 'gem' of a series that seems to have so many genres all rolled into one. A little fantasy, some urban fantasy thrown in, a dash of dystopian, a healthy serving of romance, sprinkle in some magic, weave in dark mystery, and add some adventure... viola! Shadowborn!
I really enjoy the fact that readers are not left on the precipice of a huge cliffhanger. Shadowborn gives you a HEA or at least a HFN. Fae, elves, and s...more

Shadowborn is the 2nd Lila Gray novel following the Seelie fairy queen, Lila, and theking of the Unseelie, Liam who just happens to be her love. They’re determined to reunite the two sides of the fey and bring about unity as the goddess intended – even if it tears them apart.

I anxiously awaited Shadowborn, chewing my fingernails, gnawing on my knuckles, and generally clawing at my iPad in faerie angst (wait…is there such a thing? Well, I just made it up if not). Would it be as good as the first? Would Lila resolve the feelings in her heart for Liam and Nix? Would she rise to the occasion? WOULD THE WORLD COME TO AN END??? These are the questions I asked myself.

Lila Gray has an interesting ability to sense and control minds around her. She really isn’t close to her own people the Seelie Sidhe, and treats them like secondary citizens pushing them away and not giving them a chance to know about her. The Captain of her Guard, Mannix (Nix), has fallen hard for her and tries to muscle Liam Kane, the king of the Unseelie Sidhe and Lila's lover, out of the picture with his constant rants and raves. Liam has...more

The first book in Jocelyn Adams' Lila Gray series, The Glass Man, was awesome. The following book in the series, Shadowborn, is absolutely even more awesome; it's fantastic! The story is a whirlwind of strong emotions, for both the reader and characters, and promises to absorb every bit of attention from you.

Since The Glass Man, Lila has been busy...she's been training, and doing her Queenly duties...but she hasn't been all that busy with Liam (yes, that was a dirty pun, but you can choose to ignore it if you like :P I won't...I'm totally giggling to myself right now ;D haha). I'll admit, I could have totally used more Liam in this one, but the ending left me hopeful that I'll get to see TONNES of him in the next book! Eeek! :D

I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review. Excitement! A mature (instead of YA) fae story, what an unexpected pleasure. This is definitely a series that should be read in order. While I was swept into the story within the first couple of pages, I floundered because I had not read the previous book of the series and had to play catch up in Lila Adams’ world. I eventually caught up but it was not easy. (I immediately bought book one so I could shore up my knowledge.) Another caution...more
I received an advanced copy of Shadowborn from the publisher for the purpose of an honest review.
Shadowborn is the second novel in the Lila Gray trilogy. Lila is the Seelie queen who began her journey in The Glass Man while still living in the human realm. She now finds herself in a bit over her head trying to unite the Seelie and Unseelie courts when both sides hate each other. One of her biggest obstacles to find a way around began in the first novel when she fell in love with the Seelie king,...more

A deliciously dark novel with a spunky heroine, SHADOWBORN is sure to please fans of paranormal and romance.
Lila Gray may be the new Queen of the Seelie, but how can she rule a people, if she can’t control the darkness within? And she’s supposed to somehow find a way to join the two faerie courts as well as stop the newest threat: the Shadowborn. As Lila embarks on a journey to find the answers on how to destroy the Shadowborn, she’ll learn more about herself and will have to make choices that w...more

Adult fantasy. Fae.
AMAZING. One of the best Adult Fantasies I have ever read.
All time fav. shelves.
I'm not sure where to start and how to praise this second installment in Lila Gray series. I went back and looked at my review of the first book. Everything I wanted to see happen in the follow up was fixed and much much more than I could hope for. Ms. Adams wrote her heart out in this one IMO and its perfect!

Shadowborn By Jocelyn Adams is book 2 in the Lila Gray Series.
I was so excited to receive this as an ARC because the first book was so amazing; I knew this one would be too. Ms. Adams does a superb job reminding readers what happened in the first book, without going into so many details you feel like you’re reading it again.
These characters will stay in your head long after you finish the book. Three days later, I still find myself thinking about Liam, Lila and Nix, even Cas and Brigh;

Shadowborn was a great read that kept me interested throughout the whole book. I received Shadowborn as an ARC so I didn't get a chance to read the first one. I was a little lost and confused on what was going on, but eventually caught up halfway through. I would recommend this book to readers who love paranormal romance.
Jocelyn Adams does it again with the second book of the Lila Gray series. Shadowborn delivers on so many levels that will leave readers reeling from the emotional peaks and valleys each character faces. Lila Gray, the reluctant queen of the Seelie court, is forced to battle a foe that will be anything but easy to defeat. At her side is Nix, the captain of her guard, who wants more from Lila than her leadership. Liam Kane, king of the Unseelie, is all that stands in Nix’s way, but Liam’s hiding s...more
