Publisher's summary
THE EVERYDAY WORLD IS FULL OF STRANGE AND MAGICAL CREATURES, AND SOME OF THEM DON’T PLAY NICE …
Humans have no idea what lurks in the shadows.
After discovering his estranged father is a demon king, Quinn Carter is embroiled in a new world—a world where things of legend are real.
His newfound friends have secrets too—demons aren’t the only paranormal creatures to exist. Stranded spirits, evil, stab-worthy demons, black witchcraft, vampire hunters and a cunning vampire ministry are just the tip of the iceberg.
But, destiny has a plan for the team of supernaturals.
When Eve, Quinn's best friend, is coveted for her angelic blood, he would destroy the world to save her. He is secretly in love with Eve, but could an angel ever love a demon?
Trouble follows The Younglings like a menacing cloud, and the only way to survive the storm is to walk through it.
Being one of the Younglings can get you killed ...
SHADOWS & MAGIC is the first book in THE YOUNGLINGS series. An action-packed, gripping, full-length, coming of age, YA paranormal fantasy, it will transport urban fantasy fans to a fascinating, supernatural world within our own. Filled with magic, suspense, danger, sizzling action and adventure, a sprinkling of humour and a slow-burn paranormal romance, this book is an absolute page turner.

Jolene Hartgrave, here! I went from being a top dog lawyer to a hangdog pet psychic in the ruff part of town, all thanks to a pesky curse that gave me the gift of gabbing with animals. But my luck is finally looking up. I’ve teamed up with a hottie police officer and his snarky, lie-sniffing German shepherd to catch criminals. From a murdered fashion icon spinning a web of lies to the killed curator of an occult museum, I’m doggedly helping the police bring the bad guys to justice.

Story
Germany, 1945. In the waning days of World War II, the Nazis have been all but defeated. Uwe Fuchs, never a fighter, feels fortunate to have avoided the front lines as he cared for his widowed mother. But Uwe’s fortune changes when Hans Sauer, the village bully, recruits him to join a guerilla resistance unit preparing for the arrival of Allied soldiers. At first, Uwe is wary. The war is lost, and rumor has it that Hans is a deserter. But Hans entices him with talk of power, brutality, and their village’s ancestral lore: werewolves.

Story
The world calls him vampire. But that’s not who I know. He’s my fellow patient at Crimson Hollow, a facility for those infected with the vampire virus. He’s lived for more than a century and been called many things. Vagabond. Circus freak. Prisoner. Murderer. Now he’s the world’s most famous person. He receives blood transfusions to stay conscious and rarely leaves the facility. He’ll never be free. Except in death. And that was what he wanted...until I arrived. All I wanted was a cure. I wasn’t planning to fall in love.

Vampyres don't exist. They absolutely do not exist. At least I didn't think they did 'til I tried to quit smoking and ended up Undead. Who in the hell did I screw over in a former life that my getting healthy equates with dead? Now I'm a Vampyre. Yes, we exist whether we want to or not. However, I have to admit, the perks aren't bad. My girls no longer jiggle, my ass is higher than a kite, and the latest Prada keeps finding its way to my wardrobe.

Story
I’m Val Thorvald, and I’m an assassin. When magical bad guys hurt people, I take care of them. Permanently. This doesn’t make me popular with the rest of the magical community — as you can tell from the numerous break-ins and assassination attempts I’ve endured over the years. But thanks to my half-elven blood, a powerful sword named Chopper, and a telepathic tiger with an attitude, I’ve always been able to handle my problems with aplomb. Maybe some cursing and swearing, too, but definitely aplomb.

Emma is content. She's got a promising career in front of her, great friends, and a pretty amazing family. But her love life has been a little lacking lately. That's when fate steps in, and she crashes into a tall, dark, and handsome man - Teren Adams. He’s single, successful, an extraordinary gentleman, but he’s also secretive.

He has fangs, incredible hearing, unbelievable speed, and, on occasion, he enjoys drinking a steaming cup of blood. But he’s also very much alive.

Very engaging story telling
🥰Enjoyment: This was a pretty enjoyable read, I’m not a big YA reader, but this one reminded me of some of the bigger YA titles of my actual Young adult days #eldermillennial. Not in plot necessarily, its just reminded me of like the squad vibes from Buffy, the Vampire/Wolf lore of Twilight.
📖 🎧 Writing &/or Audio Style: I found the writing style really did a good job of reflecting a teenagers voice. While I don’t read much in this age grouping, the ones I have usually felt like ‘mini adults” compared to teenagers. I’m sure that makes absolutely no sense but it makes sense in my head. The voice narrator did a great job with this one, my only “complaint” was that I couldn’t understand some of his accent (yes this is a me problem) when I tried to speed up the audio at slower points in the story.
👥 Characters & Relationships: The romance (or maybe I should just say pining) aspect of this story was probably my only frustration with it. The “I love her but I won’t tell her but I will be upset when she dates someone but now I’m going to date someone to make her jealous” by the end of the story I wanted to knee Quinn in the 🥜
⁉️Plot, Intrigue & Logic: I thought the premise was really interesting and fun. If it wasn’t for the actual story (again this aspect harkens to my Buffy days) I’m pretty sure the romance part would have pushed me to quit. But I loved the little super hero squad they made and the cast of characters.
🏞️Atmosphere & Setting: Satisfactory, not too notable. World building wasn’t overwhelming (and majority of setting was contemporary England).
🚨 For Reader Awareness: Bad guys get unalived.
📣Recommended for fans of: If you loved Buffy give this a try.
Mood Reader Classification: Glad I read it, do not foresee a re-read or need for shelf trophy.

The hype is real.
Heard that this book was fantastic and would even make a great TV show.
Those who have said that aren’t wrong.
If this had been a TV show, maybe something that came on after Buffy, I would have stuck around for it.
My very favorite thing about this book is its episodic nature. Need a monster of the week show in book form or in your headphones? This is the one. Great characters. Real reactions. And also typical bone-headed teenagers.
Some familiar things and some great twists on things like vampires make this the ideal read for fans of Shadow Hunters, The Order, etc.
And the adaptation would be easy. The book has half the first season’s episodes all mapped out, easily separated and adapted.
5 shimmering stars! My commute was filled with magic and I miss Quinn and the spook crew already! It’s only been a day!

Fast Paced & Great For Teens
Thoughts: 💡
I think this book would be great for a teenager, but as an adult I wanted more details and foreshadowing. There is also a very long miscommunication trope that runs through the story that’s right for the characters and their age level, but also reminded me why teenagers should never be left with the decision making responsibilities.
Writing Mechanics: ✍️
This book jumps right into the action. The story is fast paced and events often happen with very little pre-amble. This book took lore from pop culture instead of traditional tales, but those iconic monsters were modernized.
Narration & Sound: 🔊
The narrator was by far my favorite part of this book. I loved the way he spoke, both his accent and his pace. The sound quality was wonderful, but I couldn’t speed the audio up beyond 1.2x the normal speed because the narrator speaks so fast.
Fun Bits:
⚜️ Super Powered Rag Tag Group
⚜️ Miscommunication Trope
⚜️ Reunited Father & Son
⚜️ Friends To Lovers
⚜️ Coming of Age
⚜️ Developing Powers
⚜️ Humorous British Slang
⚜️ 🏳️🌈 Rep
Important Note:✨
I think this book may have started as a serial because there are several completed storylines that play out in succession.
