REVIEW - Shadow's End (Elder Races #9) by Thea Harrison

The Book
Release Date: 1 December 2015
Goodreads Link

For Beluviel, consort to the Elven High Lord, and Graydon, gryphon and First Sentinel of the Wyr, even the slightest desire for each other is forbidden. But two hundred years ago, after a desperate play to save Beluviel's stepson left them indebted to the cruel Djinn Malphas, they found their fates inexorably linked together - and the hunger between them growing too strong to ignore...
Two centuries later, with their debt to Malphas coming due, Beluviel and Graydon realize that, if they are to stand any chance of saving their souls, they must once again work together - this time more closely than ever before. But every moment they spend with each other brings them nearer to losing something even more vital - their hearts...
My Review  5 STARS
Holy cannoli, this book has all the action after 50% and it totally had me in streams of tears at one point.  It totally had me wrung out and sobbing.

Grydon and Beluviel met two hundred years ago when Grydon helps Lady Beluviel with a family matter and they form a very strong connection, however Malphas becomes involved causing them to separate, with Grydon promising he will do whatever it takes to get back to her.

Back to the modern day and Grydon finally has all his ducks in a row and not only are their new revelations, many of his friends and allies agree to help him with his plan to finally get rid of Malphas and his evil ways.

The plan happens quickly and you will not be disappointed with the action and all the feels, seriously, this was one of the best bits of the series and (this being the next day) i cannot stop thinking about it.

I know the first 50% seemed just filler bringing a flash back as to how the pair got into the position they were in, but the last 50% does make up for it, although it does not give anything of Grydons previous lovely behaviour and sense of humour we are used to.

Really looking forward to reading the next book in the series, Liam Takes Manhattan.  Love that not so little anymore Peanut.
