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 😬

Gut wrenching perfection

Wept in the grocery store 😂😬 I was so impressed with the growth of all three MCs.

Spice was spicing, triggers abound, SO GOOD!

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...

A Great Ending

This book was heartbreakingly hard and beautiful . I fell in love with each character all over again. Get ready for heartache and tears and love and Joy.

Trigger ‼️ warning

Just like the first, there is much r&pe throughout this book. A strong trigger warning should be stated at the beginning. There is a lot of character development of the MMCs, basically saying he was sort of possessed when he did all the terrible things to the FMC in book one so that helps some I guess… You definitely don’t feel uplifted at the end of the story… wrung out emotionally so there was some good writing in there. But oy, so much darkness.

Darkly delightful

The story is fantasy, but there are scenes that are very dark and visceral. I actually appreciate the author being so blunt. Many a dark fantasy skips over the darker material. Or hints at it, but they don’t usually go into detail. But with the darker moments, you obviously get a better ending when they have a major character development, and the acceptance of themselves. It was a really good duet. Sad and gritty , but also happy and full of love and redemption.

Once you read beyond this point, there will be a spoiler so skip if you don’t wanna see it.

I really do wish that there would’ve been a way to keep Sabian.
