"Beyond the shadows", by author Camila Oliveira, was a pleasant surprise for me. I started reading it a few days ago, and I have to tell you that I finished this book in just a few hours. Do you believe it? Yeah, and I don't regret it at all.
The book has a total of 135 pages, and there is no way not to get involved with this premise and not be curious to know what will happen on the next page. At all times I had some assumptions and what can I say? I got them all wrong. And that ending, my dear readers? I ended up in shock, because it ends in a way that for the love of GOD!
The author's narrative and writing is simply phenomenal, captivating, fluid, fast, engaging, delicious and very intense. We have the creation of a phenomenal world, characters and dialogues.
About the characters, I was totally in love with Leto, because I love a seductive, charming and arrogant bad boy. I want such a man for myself, for God's sake!
For those who love fantasy books, I highly recommend this reading for you. I'm sure you will love and fall in love with this PERFECT plot. For anyone who has read this book, please freak out with me!
