One of Halloween recs from my last post! ⭐️Stalked by Shadows by @lissa_kasey_author I love love LOVED this book and it creeped me out sooo bad lol! So it’s perfect for a spooky Halloween read 👻 What an absorbing read!! Definitely one of my favorites from last year! All of the characters (not just the mains) were so fleshed out I felt every emotion that they did. The writing in this book is fantastic and had me on the edge of my seat multiple times! It's very rare that something in a book actually scares me, but let me tell you, the shadows in this story creeped the hell out of me and at one point I even had to put the book down for a minute because I was genuinely getting scared! There are a lot of emotions going around in this book: fear, joy, depression, PTSD, hope...and damn if Kasey didn't nail every one of them. Nothing felt overdone or exaggerated for dramatic effect. I felt Alex's fear and disappointment in himself at times, and Micah's determination to move on from his past. The only gripe I have is that I wish the characters dug a bit more into what's happening to them. Micah is constantly pushing for moving on and saying that truly understanding what happens to them doesn't matter in the long run, as it doesn't change the outcome. While true, I do hope that future books have them exploring more of the dangerous and creepy world they've become sensitive to. They might not need answers but I do! There's just so much to like about this book between it's excellent plot, cohesive writing, and wonderfully diverse characters. If you're looking for something a bit spooky but amazing then look no further! This book does end on a bit of a cliffhanger and a HFN sort of scenario but I was so impressed by the story I didn't even care. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book of what I think is going to be an amazing series! 5 Stars #mmromance #lgbtromance #stalkedbyshadows #lissakaseyauthor #bookstagram #readersofinstagram #halloweenbookrecs https://www.instagram.com/p/CGypQXOAz3A/?igshid=sonsjp9vx4fl
