Book Review: "A Shift in Fate" by Maddox Grey

 

Doing a favor for a daemon is always a bad idea…

Six months after Nemain defeated the warlock leadership known as the Circle, she’s soaking in the freedom that comes with no longer being hunted. Her former lover turned enemy, Sebastian, is dead and the Circle has retreated in defeat. However, her reprieve comes to an end when a friend asks for a favor that she can’t refuse. Not when it could lead to answers that Nemain wants and alliances she desperately needs.

After a young fae boy with extraordinary magic wandered into a remote village in one of the fae realms, the village was destroyed. No one knows the identities or allegiances of the fae who destroyed the village, but one thing was clear, their magic consumed other magic. They were devourers—or at least part devourer. While most didn’t believe that was possible, Nemain certainly did. She had been hiding her devourer heritage for her entire life.

While Nemain and her friends set out to find the mysterious child and search for answers about the fae with magic so similar to hers, they discover that there are more secrets in their world than they ever thought possible. Old secrets, new secrets. Ancient secrets long forgotten. Secrets from both friend and foe. And Nemain is in the center of it all. Can she save herself and the fae child? And how much is she willing to sacrifice? - from Booksirens.com

I received this ARC at no cost from Booksirens.com and am providing an unbiased review.

This is the second book in the 'Lost Legacies' series (trilogy? Maybe more?) and after very much enjoying the first one, I knew that this would be just as good. Our regular characters are back, and just getting better. Character development is progressing well, with many fo the characters learning more about their powers. Our MC discovers things about her past and family. All while completing a favor from a demon-friend.

After reading this book, I feel like there will be only about three books in all for this series. The way the story is advancing, I just feel that the third book is going to wind up with the conclusion about things. Of course, I have my own thoughts as to what will happen and what will be revealed.

Truly enjoyed reading this story, and would like to see more maybe set in this world, or maybe on pre-quel stuff from some of the supporting characters.
