Out of the Shadows by Ashlee Nicole ByeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Out of the Shadows (Shadowlands #1) by Ashlee Nicole Bye opens with a grisly scene, a body has been sliced up; thereby setting the stage for what is to come. This well written story is the first in the series; you certainly can't tell that by the writing however. Bye has a keen eye with her character descriptions, scene setting, and plot movement. With characters like Sachi, who is finely drawn with deep emotional complexity, and the Prince of Hell, there is plenty to enjoy about the depth and breadth of the creatures and characters who populate this book. This is a great version of science fiction fantasy that can easily pull in all kinds of readers from teens to older. The alternate realm known as the Shadowlands has all the components needed to make this an engaging book that exceeds expectations.
