I hate flying. A lot. Though this was a library book, I brought it along on the plane because I thought it would distract me from the thought of a firey crash in a North Dakota cornfield. It turns out, I was both wrong and right; while it did distract me from negative thoughts about flying, part of the reason it worked is that it focused my negative energy on the book.

So. The reviews say no. My friends reviews also say no...which puts me in a quandary. I read and loved book #1 but failed to continue (because my friends reviews say no)...but I want to support this author because I feel her entry into UF is needed because of the sheer diversity and...let's just be honest: Most UF does not deviate from the standard...and this one does. That's worth $7.99 right there.

I enjoyed returning to this series and feel like the author did a good job of giving me essential details from book 1. It may have been a little repetitive for some, but having started the series 2 years ago, the refresh was needed! Kira continues to be an intriguing character and her relationship with Khefar keeps things moving. I enjoy the friendships. We, along with Kira, learn some things that shake stuff up…. Definitely interested on where this series continues to take me!
The back cover blurb for Shadow Chase promises an adventure story revolving around the Vessel of Nun, an Egyptian artifact that has gone missing and, unless restored to its proper place, will unleash a worldwide flood.
This storyline, however, doesn’t start until after the 100-page mark (though there is one brief hint that foreshadows part of it), and this is to the detriment of the book. In the early chapters, most of the page time is taken up with introspection, discussions, and arguments about ...more

I do like my reading to be in big slabs of goodness, however, I was away for a long weekend with friends and I could hardly shun them, so I could only read this book with little slabs of okness. Therefore my review will be a bit limited.

Like the first novel in this series, Shadow Chase has some very familiar elements for fans of monster-hunter type urban fantasy. What this novel does that it's predecessor did not was expand the scope of the action to far flung places in this world and beyond, delivering the touch of epic that the first installment hinted at.
The story is quick, but not so much that one will get lost. The rules of the setting are revisted, but not overstated. One gets a sense of just how much the characters have ...more

Hi Gemmies, I have a new book review to share with you today. Shadow Chase by Seressia Glass is a contemporary paranormal novel and the second book in the Shadowchasers series. This unique series is based on Egyptian mythology. I really enjoyed the first novel in the series..Shadow Blade, and was hoping i'd love this entry as well. Sadly this one was a little bit of a let down for me. Shadow Chase takes place immediately following the events in Shadow Blade. Although there is action, this was mo

Content warning for the bury your gays trope.
In the previous book, gay and trans folks were kept entirely out of all worldbuilding, all characterization, all language used, in a rather airtight way. This time we get a genderqueer god briefly mentioned, and two minor gay characters... one of whom we meet as a dead body. The other gay character is in the same line of work as the protag but is just jarringly incompetent at his job... levels of incompetence that throw me out of the story several tim ...more

There is so much about this book that I want to love; diverse characters, a kick-ass heroine and lots of worldbuilding based on Egyptian mythology. I had to knock stars off because the pacing is wonky and the author spends a lot of time repeating what Kira is thinking and restating facts that readers should have picked up. It's unnecessary to explain how Kira's magic works for the umpteenth time when we're already 3 thirds of the way through the book. It gets repetitive and slows everything down

The first one was good.
This one I didn't finish. I hit a romantic wall and that's just not what I'm after when reading. It seemed to drag on and on and I just decided if there was any more of it...I'd end up hating the book and put it away.
It's too bad, I really liked the intrigue and real world ties to the pantheon that she had going. ...more

It takes a talented author to make the second book of a series even better than the first. Seressia Glass is a VERY talented author. This book has all of the action I was expecting plus deepening relationships, interesting twists, and information about Kira's origins that has me salivating to read the next book in the series!

This was good. Will continue the series.
Kira and Khefar are back in this second instalment to the Shadowchaser series. It picks immediately at the point where we left off in the last book; at the dinner celebrating Kira and Khefar's revival and new goddess-blessed statuses.
I was looking forward to hopefully getting to know both of the main characters more this time around and also trying to form more of a connection to them since that was slightly lacking in book one. I'd initially put that down to "book one syndrome" because of all ...more

This fast faced Urban thriller is sure to keep readers on their toes. The author starts the heroine in the thick of things and I would advise first time readers to check out the 1st book Shadow Blade to get up to speed.

I'm sad to say that this series turned out to be somewhat of a disappointment because i really loved the Egyptian mythology and the detail in the story. Also the main heroin Kira is BAD-ASS! so really she is what kept me reading in this book, but honestly after this book i really didn't want to read the next one...

I enjoyed the first book in this series quite a bit, but had a hard time with this one. The first 100 or so pages are filled with introspection and grieving (and some info-dumping about what happened in the previous book, but that wasn't too bad). While I think those elements were important, the overall story would have benefited from having those parts mixed in with the action a bit more; the pacing just dragged.

I'm not nearly as impressed with this addition to the series as I was with book 1. The issues I mentioned in my review of book 1 are present to a greater degree along with a few new ones that make it less polished and more a step backwards. Repetitions and over explaining abound, and the slower, seemingly disconnected plot is making it much harder to maintain my interest. I'm hoping it will improve soon, or I'll more than likely file it under couldn't finish and move on. Even if I do finish, at

Not quite as good in my opinion as the first, but still fun.
We find out more about Kira, about her relationship with Balm. As I suspected we find out more about the Solomon family. And man do I dislike what we find out. Ditto the elaborated history of Kira's birth.
The battle between light and shadow seemed to take almost a backseat to the questions raised in the early part of the book. The world threatening problem seemed far more easily solved. And then there's the whole "they love each other ...more

This is the second book in Seressia Glass's Shadowchaser's series. Really a good series. I burned right through this. Kira is so many things, a smart heroine, a broken child, and so many other things. I really love her and her 4000 year old warrior lover, Kehfar. The secondaries are really well done as well. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the next one.

Mixed feelings about this second in the series. I like the concepts of a 4000 year old warrior doing pennance and that Egyption gods are still 'active' in current time. It did drag a little at first but I slogged through it. The ending was mostly satisfying. I hope the author hits her pace pretty soon or I may just give up on this series.

This is the second book in the series. And the third one is already out. I'm behind! This is one of my keeper series. I love the storyline and there's not really just one main character but several. It's very interesting to see how they use each other strengths and weakness to get the job done!

Such great characters. A really believable kick-ass heroine, who is still vulnerable. She's got some heavy baggage.

I liked that I learned more about Kira in this book. Also she's having to trust people more which is good for her. While there there is a love interest in this book it is not mushy or full of sex. The Egyptian mythology is interesting too. Fun. Ready for the next one.
