Would be amazing if the series continued past book 1

I loved this book, until the other deleted forums asking when the release of the next one would be out and never replied. It been well past the date promised back in late 2015. The book overall by itself I would give a 5 star but being as its part of a series that may never continue and we never find out what happens I had to give a 1. I really hope the auther plans to update and get back to writing bc I think she could really have something here.... I would also suggest to the author a facebook fan page where she can update her readers and build releationships with them.

I really like this universe and want to see what happens to the characters as the story to continue. I really want the author to write more and would definitely read any sequels

This is the sequel to The Mysterious Howling, which I loved when I read it last year. I didn't think The Hidden Gallery reached quite the same level as the first, but it's still an entertaining book and the series as a whole is one that I'd wholeheartedly recommend. I just found this installment a bit frustrating because for about the first two-thirds of the book, no progress at all was made towards resolving the various mysteries that had been introduced in the first one, and even when certain pieces of information were revealed toward the end, we were often left with more questions than answers. One the one hand, this is a good thing because it means that the series can go on longer, and I do enjoy reading about these characters. On the other hand, I'd like the main plot lines to progress at least a bit more in 300+ pages. Maryrose Wood can certainly write a tantalizing story, but in the end it felt like we hadn't gotten very far. Still, Wood remains one of my favourite new authors, and I'm eager to see how the story unfolds in the coming books.

Book one was so so, I had bought book two quite a while ago but the mediocrity of book one didn't have me looking forward to book two. Once I started book two I couldn't get enough and I cruised through three and four immediately after. The quality has improved tremendously I just wish some of the relationships I want to see would've developed earlier so I could enjoy that aspect a bit more.

This is a great start to a series with tons of potential. I would have liked to see it integrate the concepts and core issues of the remainder of the series more, but it was gripping enough that I went immediately to the second in the series. For that reason I give it 4.5 stars - an amazing read.

I am going to start this by saying that I love this series. The first in the series, Arash, Shadow Hunt, was so good that I literally couldn't stop reading it. These books are about a secret group of supernatural beings that live among humans. The group look like shadows to humans, unless they want humans to actually see them. They originate from the stars and live together in families. And as with so many other supernatural beings, they are immortal. The beings start out as human and are altered, but only after a process, which I won't go into here.

What I liked about this book:
The characters. Since this is the 3rd in this series, I have gotten to know each of the characters pretty well. And for the most part I like them. Of course theres always a villain,or in this case, a couple of villains, and while you don't like them-well thats the whole purpose of a good villain isn't it? So they are in the the good column for me too.

The premise. The beings in these books are just so different from most books I read. They look human, and enjoy human pursuits at times, but they live really different lives. But even in their world, jealousy and revenge still flourishes. This installment really highlights both of those things.

The continuation of the story: We get more answers in this book, specifically about Livias mother, which is good since the cliffhanger at the end of the second book concerned that. Livia is getting more and more of her powers also. Theres magic involved in this book as well.

What I didn't like about this book:
The book was well written, with a great premise, good characters, and is a good third installment of this story. I honestly cant think of anything that goes in this column.

Who would I recommend this book to:
Anyone that enjoys paranormal/science fiction books. There is a romance involved, this time with problems(those pesky villains)but the romance is ongoing from book 1. Theres no sexual scenes, although some are implied, so I think older young adults would like this as well as adults.

If you haven't started this series, I can definitely recommend it. As I said before, I doubt you would be able to put the first book down once you start reading. Theres only one book left in the series and I am really wondering how its all going to end.

I received this book from Net Galley in exchange for a fair and honest review.  (PureTextuality.com)

These three books have been an amazing journey to read. Lots of high and lows. Sometimes book series start really great in book 1 and 2 then when the third comes around its anticlimactic and a bit disappointing. However, I must say this 3rd book stayed on the same as the first 2. Only sad thing about this is that now I will have hard time finding another equally good read.

The detail of events, locations and characters still captures my imagination from the previous 2 books and I would love to see fan art of the world created by Ian Tregillis.
I look forward to more books to come

This was a very good followup to book 1, it starts off hard hitting and just keeps going from battle to battle. The addition of Ivan the werewolf and Antonio the new Cazador make for an interesting grouping. I dislike the style of writing used in these books as each chapter is supposed to be from the point of view of one of the main characters, frankly all this "I" stuff gets annoying and during heavy action scenes the POV can be completely lost. Over all however its a fun ride.

this book continues the amazingness of book 1, while it goes through its own story.
loving the character growth

Didn't think book one could be continued with the same exciting pace but I was wrong. To get the full impact, please read book one first to grasp the fascinating background to this great series - here's to book three!

This installment is better than the first. I'd love to see the story continued.
