Fantasy / Paranormal / Contemporary

"A flame to light the path; gateway to all things past. A door from which there is no going back. Born in truth; forged in lies. Never betray the secret...forever shielded from human eyes." The account was more than five hundred years old-the last remnant of an ancient tribe. Was it the vision of a beloved priest or the ramblings of an afflicted man?Claire Roberts is in for the ride of her life as she journeys to a world that history books claim never existed. Together with the help of her friends, she must use an ancient relic and find her brother before the Shadow Man finds her. She becomes the hunted in a dangerous game that threatens a nation that is the stuff of legend. Along the way she will learn that the best gifts are the ones you never expect to find.ReviewShadow Cave by Angie West is the first book in her new Shadow Cave series. It is a great start to the series. Once you start reading it doesn't take long until you are swept along on a journey with the heroine, Claire. It is a journey to search for her missing brother Mike and it is fraught with equal amounts of danger and discovery. Angie West weaves a tale that is both fascinating and suspenseful. The world she creates is imaginative and nicely detailed. Claire is a great heroine. She's smart, gutsy and down to earth. She's easy to like and relate to. You can't help but root for her.There is a love interest which will satisfy romance fans. It isn't a central part of the story but it is a nice addition. The flow of the story is very well done until the end when things come to a conclusion in a rapid fashion. I wish the ending had been drawn out just a bit more. As this first book ends things are left pretty open-ended, which is typical and expected for the first of a series. I wouldn't classify it as a cliffhanger so you can join me while I breathe a sigh of relief and say, "Dear Author, Thank you for not torturing me with a cliffhanger". It does leave plenty of questions unanswered and I look forward to discovering the answers in future books. *-Paranormal Kiss* From the Authorshadowcave.weebly.com
