About the Book: Envy, a half fae-half daemon, is looking at her death
which will occur in less than thirty days. In her short life, she has not had
many opportunities or been offered many chances so has lived on her wits and
guile. Out of the blue, she is offered the option to survive—but in her view it
comes at a high price. Along this journey, she encounters difficult people and
situations—but in the end, survives. As to how well she survives is her decision.
Our Review: This
is not an easy story for the casual reader to get through. That said, devotees of
the sci-fi/paranormal/urban fantasy genres will adore it. Because of her less
than sterling upbringing, Envy has developed a kick-ass, nothing bothers me
attitude—but early on it becomes clear this is a cover for a young person
looking to belong, unconsciously begging for unconditional positive regard.
Afterall, isn’t that what we all need? What we all deserve? Under it all, Flame
& Shadow is a morality tale, teaching us to look under the surface which
might be hiding someone in desperate need.
