Shifter's Shadow (Legion of Angels Book 5)

Shifter’s Shadow takes place right where Dragon’s Storm ends with the BIG surprise.Leda and Nero are now officially a couple in this one. I’m happy that they are finally together, but that doesn’t mean things will go smoothly.In Shifter’s Shadow we get Nero’s promotional test, the Gods Trial, and he has picked Leda as his second. Lets, just say this test isn’t easy and what the Gods expect Nero to do is down right upsetting and sad, but these two always find away to work around the rules and bet the odds.As you can guess we get to meet the Gods and Goddess. Can’t say I’m a fan. Their seams to be things going on that only a slit few know about; a war amongst the gods and of course the issue with the demons. Not only do we meet the gods, but we get more surprises in the supernatural world that I didn't see coming.Leda has leveled up again and gets to lead her own team on a mission, while Nero stands by and observes. Leda is a fun character to like. She’s sarky, kick ass, and knows what to do in situations. She keeps her cool and keeps everyone on her team alive.Ms. Summers has done a wonderful job in her world building, character development, and bringing in something new to each additional installment. Legion of Angels is a fantastic series. I’m hooked. Each installment brings me something new to love. It’s been a while since I’ve found a series that has pulled me in and made me want to read one book after another. Now that I’m done with book five, Shifter’s Shadows, I’ll have to wait for book six, since it’s not out yet.Rated: 4 Stars

3.5 because of the last climax. It was… not my preferred choice of wrapping lolThis one was actually pretty good. The big trial for Nero started us right off and I thought it funny that the jerk angel is gone. I think some things didn’t flow as perfectly as I’ve expected because this series is so much for me and I totally expect perfection lolA few times now, there seems to be just one too many seconds wasted on dialogue or interactions that didn’t need to take that much time getting done. But the action was cool.

I spend so much time on Amazon looking through books that claim to be fantastic, by end up coming short by the second or third book. This is definitely not the case."Pandora" has grown so much as a character, all while remaining her quirky self. She remains a fierce female character that continues to grow her strength instead of becoming helpless and relying on her mate.The only two things I wasn't a super huge fan about was that in the previous books, Jace Fireswift was a companion character of sorts and he basically got booted out of the story except for about 3 pages. We traded Jace out for a character that betrayed Pandora previously. In all, Jace should have stayed because we finally warmed up to him and he gave Pandora ( a bit of ) competition. Secondly, the book has become more of "Let's fight evil" and less about racing the clock to level up Pandora's powers to save her brother.All in all, I can't wait to buy the new book and see how the story progresses. If I only have two things to dislike out of a series that already has five books, then it is fabulous. I am a bit of a critic when it comes to long series and normally have to stop after the second or third book. This series is addicting and I can't stop.SO BUY THIS BOOK NOW!

This book was good. Interesting mystery as to why supernaturals are going mad. I didn’t love this as much as the previous books but it was still good and entertaining. It could just be that I enjoy more Nero & Leda times together and there wasn’t as many as in the other books. But it was still good and enjoyable. New revelations are revealed that pushed the bigger arc along.

Nero goes on his angel trial to level up with Leda. During his trial he discovers why his father turned against the gods. After the trials Leda gets to lead her first mission and it's a doozy involving a dear friend of hers and his need for revenge against the demons and especially the gods. Harker also fesses up about the god he serves so a plan is enacted to stop him and some surprising people join the group. As much as I enjoy these books i of wish Nero and Leda had more time together. I love the banter they are so good together and can Drake and Ivy please hurry up and figure things out. They are so cute and can't for them to finally get together.

I LOVE this series and Ella Summers! I DEFINITELY did NOT see the huge plot twist coming and I've read hundreds of books in this genre! Well done, Ella! I love Leda's character and her relationship with Nero. I also am enjoying Nyx's expanding role. :). On to the next one! Enjoy!

This book starts off right where the last one left off. It hits the ground running and never stops. What the blurb talked about would be a whole novel for some authors but not here! It's just one part of the novel! This feels like a transition book from where we go from solving the immediate crisis to starting to see the much bigger picture that has been hinted at start to come into focus. I love that now that Lena and Nero made the decision to commit to each other, there is no second doubts, just a wonderful partnership. And such a great team they make. We also seem more of and learn more about quite a few characters. A must read for those who have enjoyed the series to this point.I do recommend you get a hold of the short story Twelve Dancing Angels either before or after you read this story as it is referenced. It will not hinder your enjoyment of the novel if you haven't read it, but it does increase your enjoyment of a few portions.

The ending of this one was a little abrupt and took some explaining to figure out, but I can see where it's going with the larger story. Other than a slightly clunky ending, this one is still amazing. On to the next book!

I just flove Ella Summers Legion of Angels series. I can't get enough of them. They're like a drug to me which I just need constant fixes of. I. Seriously. Flipping. Love. These. Books!!!!My excitement levels were at fever pitch when I heard Shifter's Shadow, book 5 in the Legion of Angels series, was up for pre order and about to come out. I squealed with excitement, and may of done a little book nerd bum wiggle too. However, you always have to be careful going into a new book in a series with high expectations.No need to worry here though because this book was just AMAZING. Ella Summers never seems to disappoint me with any of her books. She manages to draw me into their depths with the action packed adventure and the awesome characters. I never want to put her books down, and I rarely do, managing to breathe them all in just in one sitting! Shifter's Shadow did that all over again to me, and I was consumed by this story ignoring anything and everything around me.Shifter's Shadow kicks right back off where book 4 ended and the question is "is that angel Nero?" That gets answered several times over as do several other questions in this book. Ella Summers is slowly building this series to a crescendo pitch. It's slowly building and growing in each book, enticing you with unanswered questions but feeding you little tidbits along the way. In this book there were some explosive questions answered about some characters and situations. The Gods finally came in to play and the story took a twist that I'm looking forward to seeing play out.Not only is the world building great in this series as a whole but so is the character development. Leda is one of my favourite characters, she kicks ass and is sarky, but she also has a heart of gold. In this book she really comes in to her element. She shows why she is the perfect partner to Nero, but we're still not any closer to discovering just what she is. Everytime I think I've worked it out, Ella Summers throws another spanner in the works to throw me off the scent!Nero. Well just wow! Just when I think I can't fall even more in love with him he goes and does something else that makes him 10 times hotter than he was before. The passion between him and Leda which was growing through books 1-3 and exploded in book 4 is steaming off the pages. Their relationship is HAWT! It's just perfect.How can I not give this book 5 stars? I'd give it more if I could because it's just brilliant. Each book in this series is just getting better than the last and I'm loving it. It's a must read series and book which I keep on telling everyone to read. If you've already read books 1-4 then don't hesitate, pick this up and read it now and let it's contents transport you to a world that you wished you were in. Perfect.

This book dives into Leda and Nero’s new challenges, bringing all the perfect elements to entertain the reader proving once more the great creativity of this wonderful writer.

In this book, Leda and Nero face another challenge together so Nero can become an archangel and they discover another dirty secrets from the gods that shaken the balance of the world. We don't see much of the training for Leda to reach the 5th level but there are plenty of events and adventures to compensate for this.

I was so thrilled when this book came out!!! Leda is getting stronger and her relationship with Nero has evolved considerably!!! I finished this book way too fast in my opinion even after pacing myself. I really hope that the next one will come out soon. I can't wait!!!

This story just keeps getting better and better. I love Nero and Leda and I'm so happy to see that they are so strong together. The plot has twists and turns galore, each one as good as the last. All my favourite characters had major roles in this book so I'm a very happy reader at the moment. Can't wait for the next book. Highly recommend.
