01-07: The synopsis for 'Shadowed,' first in a new series by author Michelle Areaux, boasts that "fans of Twilight, The Guardian Series, and the Marked Saga will instantly fall in love with this new paranormal series." What it doesn't tell you, is that in spots it's practically just the same story with a few tweaks to details.

I received a free copy of this book from Booksprout. I have become a fan of Michelle Areaux over the last year and have always enjoyed her stories. This time though I struggled, and for many reasons. One of those could be I read a copy not fully edited. I found discrepancies in what was going on, such as one sentence being at Henley’s house next being at Cohen’s house. I had also noticed redundancy several times.

I am so excited for this series! This first book in it had me captivated from the start. Henley is an outcast. Her only friend is Amy and they are fine being on the outside.

They have a rocky start to their friendship but soon they discover how compatible they really are. The crushes they have on each other can't be ignored. Then Cohen drops a truth bomb on

This book is about Henley a sixteen year old girl who is so used to be an outcast, she only had one friend and that was Amy. But then Cohen moved in across from her home and she couldn't help but to feel connected to him even if it meant putting her own life in danger.

I know I always say that I love whatever type of book I have read but it's true and I love Paranormal romances. I did the blitz on Shadowed and decided it sounded so good and so intriguing that when Michelle offered me a copy, I could not turn it down!
Now, it turned out that it wasn't exactly what I expected with some characters I didn't care for but overall, I enjoyed the read. I cannot say which characters I didn't care for as that would be a spoiler but it kept me entertained throughout. It w ...more

I hate having to give less than positive reviews, but this one was really difficult. I was reading an unedited ARC, so some things may get resolved before release.
The bad: Tense flips back and forth constantly and is very distracting. Dialogue is stilted and unnatural. There's a lot of storytelling that isn't actually telling anything. There are parts that are frighteningly close to Twilight for my comfort. Some find it romantic, but a boy / man who has been around for 50+ years falling for a 16 ...more

Paranormal romances are my catnip, I freaking love them, doesn't matter what they are about, I love reading ALL of the stories. Shadowed is a bit different. It was entertaining, so I definitely recommend checking it out, but I probably won't be checking out the 2nd book in the series because it was just a bit too weird for me. I wasn't completely bought in by the story and characters and what makes Cohen's family a bit different.

The small town of Edison, Washington, will never be the same after the new neighbors move in.
What if the government made a mistake years ago and are trying to cover it up by experimenting and killing innocent people?
To my mom, I should dress more like the popular kids at school. But to me, well, I have already accepted my fate as the school loser. I just wish she would come to terms with the idea, too.

I wanted to like Shadowed by Michelle Areaux. There are times I did like this book. The relationship between Henley and Cohen is romantic and cute. I love the backstory on Cohen.
Unfortunately I just kept running into too many similarities to Twilight (Dir. C. Hardwicke, 2008) the movie. I do not want to give away the book, but after the fifth event which runs parallel to the Twilight movie I was saying to myself, “Seriously?!”

Wow, I did get into this story about Henley and Cohen. Henley has always lived in a small town. Cohen and his family just moved in and are the talk of the town. Henley has always been an outsider in her town, with only one friend. Cohen has never stayed in one place long and never really talked to others. They have something going on from the first moment their eyes meet. Can they come together? Will Cohen stay away to keep her safe? Who really are the Cohen family?

A quick and intriguing YA paranormal romance, with a unique twist. Although I enjoyed reading it, it felt like some parts needed more development. Still it was an entertaining read and I'll be on the lookout for the next book in the series.

A great start to this series. This is the first book in the Shadow and Moon series. The book pulls you right in from the start and keeps you there till the end. The story will take you on an adventure. The characters evolve well and the story flows well. I am looking forward to read the next book in this series.
