Shadows So Cruel

Court of Ravens, Book 2

De: Liv Zander

Narrado por: Shaina Summerville, Tor Thom, Tommy Fuller

Adrift in a sky shadowed by war,

We seek, we ache,

Searching for the woman who fled us.

We shattered her heart, but she unfurled her feathers,

Our sweetheart, our little dove,

Escaping our talons on pure white wings.

One of us soars over battlements,

Haunted by past mistakes,

Vowing never to repeat them.

The other storms through walls of stone and hatred,

Eager to destroy the shackles of his past,

Determined to shackle her to him instead. Forever.

Loyalties are torn.

Friendships are tested.

Among the chaos, one claim stands irrefutably:

We will get her back.

She will be ours.

Come home to us, white Raven.

Shadows so Cruel is a full-length dark fantasy romance novel, and book two in the Court of Ravens duet. The two-part story features two morally gray raven shifters, a young woman at the mercy of their shadows, and a HEA. This world contains dark elements, violence, and themes some may find disturbing. Listeners can find more detailed information at LivZander.com. What this book doesn't contain is a hero—because villains do it better. And two do it better than one…

Tragically beautiful story

This was an incredible story and I really got invested in the characters. I was shocked by how good this was! The narration style was distracting for me, even though the actors were talented! It was tough to hear each narrator read the each other’s voices instead of reading their own. I pushed through and got used to this more in Book 2, a testament to how great the story was! Also, I didn’t feel that Sabian’s voice matched his character description since there was a slight southern accent, even though the actor did a great job with his sarcastic personality.

Favorite MFM romance!!

Got through the 2nd part of Court of Ravens so quick! I couldn't stop listening to the audiobook 🤭 It was just plot twist after plot twist & not to mention, all the heartbreaking backstories 😭 Honestly, my favorite MFM couple so far!! And despite that unexpected unaliving towards the end, I absolutely loved how the story finished off with healed characters. They all needed that after their ordeal 😬

No MMC will ever be better than these two crow men

I listened to the audiobook and read the Kindle version at the same time. All of the narrators were perfect. Hearing Sabien say "Sweetheart " rather than reading it makes all the difference. I just finished the 2nd book this morning. (Stupid thing to do before work because I'm a mess) I didn't want to finish it but I couldn't stop reading.I loved the darkness and how Liv doesn't shy away from the horrible things that happen to people and how it affects them. I felt every emotion these characters felt. It was so well written. I can't wait to dive into her other series. It's going to take me a long time to get over these books. Not sure how any MMC will ever top those two Raven men. 🐦‍⬛🖤🐦‍⬛

Emotional ride.

Loved the growth and change of relationships and characters. Darkly superb. Wish there was more, but this will do.

SMDH

As I said about the first book, I didn't care for the narrators. The F did ok. The voice for Sabian was the best of them, but it was because he read really well. The dude that voiced Malyr? Whenever he started reading, I just kept hearing the Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz, "Put 'em up, put 'em uuuuuup!"
Now, onto the story. The amount and type of sex in the book doesn't bother me. Lucky woman, I say. It really is a good story. The back stories are well done, the characters are well fleshed out. I have to say, the last few chapters? Jesus. I cried like a big fat baby. I really did NOT like that, and felt it was totally unnecessary. The book was done, I didn't even want to listen to it. It actually pissed me off. So, it's a good book, but I HATE how it ended.

Sabien!!!

I loved it all the way until the very end. The last 2 min to be exact. I know it’s weird to say given the whole story is graphic and dark, but I just think she went overkill in the last two min and it was not necessary. The story itself was already over. Other than that, the story was beautiful, tragic, and life changing so I still give it 5 stars! My favorite dark romance to date!

Dark and twisted and ohh so good!

Absolutely loved the second half of the Court of Ravens Duet. This book is perhaps a bit darker than the first but is equally as entralling. Spice was 👌🏻 and you really feel invested in these characters and their relationship. Overall highly recommend. Liv Zander is now a one click author for me. Bravo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This might as well be in amusement park

The roller coaster of emotions I got with this book made my life feel mundane now that it’s done. I cried I laughed. I yelled in anger. There’s lots of times I had to stop because there’s a cyclone of emotions and I didn’t know how to express them. This book was like a drug to me. I would stop it to do what I need to do but the whole entire time I was not listening to it I needed more. I need to know what happened next. Please tell me that there’s gonna be a third one

beautiful story

beautiful story about love, loss and healing. Both books were amazing and had so many different emotions. amazing reads

It was Therapy for ME

Oh how I wish this was longer. What a beautifully dark novel. It has all the emotions. I hope there is more in the future. I am loving this author. Please write more...
