The Shadow Bride by Shelby Mahurin (The Scarlet Veil book 2)

 

SPOILER ALERT! If you haven’t read the first book in the series, The Scarlet Veil, Stop! I don’t want to ruin the story for you.


“Célie’s life is over. She took her final breath trying to save the people she loves—including the powerful and enigmatic vampire king, Michal, who refused to let her go. When Célie wakes, she cannot walk in the sun; she can hear her friends’ heartbeats and she craves their blood. Michal has cursed her to the eternal existence of a vampire.


But Célie isn’t the only dead roaming the earth. Her sister, Filippa, has returned as a shadow of her former self, and other revenants are rising from their graves intent on revenge. The fragile balance between life and death has broken, awakening an even darker force—and he is coming for Célie, ready to claim her as his Bride. With the fate of their world at stake, Célie and Michal must set aside their searing attraction to mend the veil and right the balance, once and for all.” - taken from Goodreads.


Even though this book is the last in the duology, the ending wraps up the five arc series beautifully. Without giving too much away, our characters are put through the wringer before the end. A definite read for fans of the previous books.

The Scarlet Veil by Shelby Mahruin (The Scarlet Veil book 1)

 

SPOILER ALERT! The Scarlet Veil is set in the same world as the Serpent & Dove trilogy. Be warned for possible spoilers!

“Six months have passed since Célie took her sacred vows and joined the ranks of the Chasseurs as their first huntswoman. With her fiancé, Jean Luc, as captain, she is determined to find her foothold in her new role and help protect Belterra. But whispers from her past still haunt her, and a new evil is rising—one that Célie herself must vanquish, unless she falls prey to the darkness.” - taken from Goodreads.

This book picks up several months after the conclusion of the Serpent & Dove trilogy and allows the reader to see how our beloved characters are doing. The story focuses on Célie and what happens when she stumbles upon a series of murders involving magical beings. Readers would enjoy this book more if they are familiar with the previous trilogy even though several new characters are introduced. Fans will be clamoring for the final book after that killer cliffhanger ending.

Book two is expected in 2024.
