Spears and Shadows

Spoiler- Free Review:

First, I'd like to thank S.C. Grayson for sending me an ARC of this book! It is always so special when authors trust you with their book babies. Spears and Shadows is an urban fantasy that follows Nora, a museum weapons specialist. After some rare weapons come into the museum's possession, strange things start happening around Nora. She meets Adam, a quirky professor and language specialist, and enlists his help translating some inscriptions on the weapons. The events that follow are full of intrigue, twists, and turns. I really appreciated, as I always do, that medical details that were in the book were factual. I also really appreciated the diversity and representation in her characters. I really enjoyed all of the side characters and what they added to the story. In my opinion this was like an adult version of Night at the Museum. It was such a fun read with a slow burn steamy romance toward the end. I took off one star simply because I felt some things could have been expanded on or explained, but that may come in future books of the series. This is an adult fantasy, 18+ for themes and sexual content. Book releases 6/16/2022 and is available for preorder now!
