SHINE

SHADE TRILOGY #3 : SHINE
In this dramatic conclusion to the Shade trilogy, Aura and Zachary’s relationship sizzles as the secrets of the Shift are revealed.

Life can change in an instant, and no one understands that better than Aura. It’s been almost a year since her boyfriend tragically died. She’s finally letting go of Logan’s violet-hued ghost, but not her search to uncover the truth about her past.

As the first in a generation that can see ghosts, Aura is convinced she has a connection to the Shift. She’s trusted Zachary, ever patient and ever by her side, with all that she knows. But when the government threatens his life in an attempt to learn Aura’s secrets, she will stop at nothing to protect herself and the one she loves...even if that means betraying her own heart.

REVIEW: (SPOILER ALERT)

I loved this book as an ending to a heart wrenching trilogy. 
Zachary has become Aura's soul-mate and now he has to go back to Scottland. To make his diparture worse, his plane crashes and Aura is desperately hoping Zachary survived. When she hears that Zachary never got on his plane but has been captured by the DMP she tries everything in her power to free him.
When you get out of this roller-coaster we go into the next one. This book is full of surprises and big happenings. Puzzle's are being completed.
We go to Ireland and follow Aura and Zachary with their search to end the shift, meanwhile trying to figure their relationship out (I love their somewhat complicated relationship, it has such natural growth in it that you root for them until the end).

The ending, I'm not going to spoil that bombshell, but it was sweet and great. The perfect ending.
This book was certainly not a disappointment, it was a really great read.




SHIFT

SHADE TRILOGY #2 : SHIFT
Aura’s life is anything but easy. Her boyfriend, Logan, died, and his slides between ghost and shade have left her reeling. Aura knows he needs her now more than ever. She loves Logan, but she can’t deny her connection with the totally supportive, totally gorgeous Zachary. And she’s not sure that she wants to.
Logan and Zachary will fight to be the one by her side, but Aura needs them both to uncover the mystery of her past—the mystery of the Shift.
As Aura’s search uncovers new truths, she must decide whom to trust with her secrets…and her heart.
REVIEW:
I think I loved this book even more than shade. Aura is moving on after Logan, he hasn't passed on yet and that's making it hard for Aura and Zachary to be together. In shift Aura is trying to make Logan find peace, this seems to work but ofcourse there are complications.
Because of these complications Aura falls back into mourning and Zachary's patiens is reaching it's limit. He has been patient sofar but Aura is really stretching it, and the great thing about Aura is that she realises this, she isn't someone who is oblivious of her own actions and that makes for a great read.
Logans last concert where he ........ (I'm not going to spoil this for you) made me soooo emotional. It was so beautiful and this made me so happy.



SHADE

SHADE TRILOGY #1 : SHADE
Best. Birthday. Ever. At least, it was supposed to be. With Logan's band playing a critical gig and Aura's plans for an intimate after-party, Aura knows it will be the most memorable night of her boyfriend's life. She never thought it would be his last.

Logan's sudden death leaves Aura devastated. He's gone.

Well, sort of.

Like everyone born after the Shift, Aura can see and hear ghosts. This mysterious ability has always been annoying, and Aura had wanted nothing more than to figure out why the Shift happened so she can undo it. But not with Logan's violet-hued spirit still hanging around. Because dead Logan is almost as real as ever. Almost.

It doesn't help that Aura's new friend Zachary is so understanding--and so very alive. His support means more to Aura than she cares to admit.

As Aura's relationships with the dead and the living grow ever complicated, so do her feelings for Logan and Zachary. Each holds a piece of Aura's heart...and clues to the secret of the Shift.

REVIEW:

I had to read this book, P.C Cast liked it and the other series I read about ghosts was so refreshing that I was instantly triggered to buy it.
Am I happy I did that, because I loved this book. The world where people from after the shift see ghosts and how they use it to get justice is great, I wish I could see ghosts (technically I was born after the shift ;) )
Aura is such a fantastic character, she has a great group of friends. Logan and Aura are a great couple but I have to say I'm team Zachary (oh yeah). He is so understanding and sweet (and patient, although he's not a bloody saint, as he says it) oh and did I mention that I love that he's Scottish.

I certainly recomment this book to anyone who likes P.C Cast's books, but it's absolutely nothing like her books it's great on it's own.
Definitely worth five roses.
