"Darcy Jones doesn’t remember anything before the day she was abandoned as a child outside a Chicago firehouse. She has never really belonged anywhere—but she couldn’t have guessed that she comes from an alternate world where the Great Chicago Fire didn’t happen and deadly creatures called Shades terrorize the human population.Ok I think it is safe to say that I loved The Shadow Society. It was the first non contemporary book I've read in a while that wasn't part of a series or just ended without finishing up the story. Loved the parallel worlds, first time I've seen it work out really well. I feel like even though some stuff felt a little predictable the whole book flowed really well and will be looking up the other books by this author really soon.
Memories begin to haunt Darcy when a new boy arrives at her high school, and he makes her feel both desire and desired in a way she hadn’t thought possible. But Conn’s interest in her is confusing. It doesn’t line up with the way he first looked at her.
As if she were his enemy.
When Conn betrays Darcy, she realizes that she can’t rely on anything—not herself, not the laws of nature, and certainly not him. Darcy decides to infiltrate the Shadow Society and uncover the Shades’ latest terrorist plot. What she finds out will change her world forever . . .
In this smart, compulsively readable novel, master storyteller Marie Rutkoski has crafted an utterly original world, characters you won’t soon forget, and a tale full of intrigue and suspense. " -Goodreads.com
Giving it 5 stars.
Also how cool is the cover? That is actually how I noticed the book at the library, had never heard of it before. The colors and everything work so well with the book!
Read on January 9th to the 10th.
