I loved this book! I have been waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting some more for the sequel to Nevermore, and I kept coming up with different scenarios of how the story could play out. However, I worried that I was building up the story in my head, and I would be disappointed. I can honestly say...this book was fabulous! It did not disappoint at all! 
 I will tell you that not much happened in this book. Because of this, I can understand why this book might not be liked by everyone (even fans of the first one). Nothing is really resolved and (view spoiler)[Isobel doesn't even get to where Varen is until the end of the book (hide spoiler)]. Nonetheless, I enjoyed every minute of this book immensely. So much information is revealed in this sequel that it makes up for the lack of action. Every scene is written beautifully, and it was never slow. Enshadowed is shorter than Nevermore, and I wish it was longer. The story flowed very well; I never wanted to stop reading, and I finished the book in 1 sitting. There were times I was confused, especially at the end, but that was exactly what Ms. Creagh was going for. I loved the unpredictability of the story (I hate when the sequel, or any book for that matter, is so easy to figure out because then it becomes boring). 
 Ms. Creagh's writing is amazing. I was simply blown away at how this woman could suck me into the book so much. She captured a teen's voice perfectly, crafted even more amazing characters, and made me love the "villians" of the series. I am a HUGE fan of Edgar Allan Poe, and Ms. Creagh does such a wonderful job at incorporating Poe into the story. I love how she puts her own spin on things of the Poe world. I especially enjoyed Gwen. Gwen seriously had my laughing so hard throughout the story, even in the darkest parts. Gwen's characters brings the much needed lightness to the dark nature of the story. 
 I will warn you that the ending is a MAJOR cliffhanger. This might be the mother of all cliffhangers! I was just left with my mouth gaping when reading the last page. I kept flipping through the rest of those weird blank pages in the back of books, hoping more words would appear! I just wanted more. I am eagerly awaiting the next book because I honestly have no clue what will happen. I have tons of theories of course, but I just want the book now. I can't wait to see what Ms. Creagh has in store for us next! 
 5 Ravens all the way!
