Shadows of Nightshade ( The Garden of Eternal Flowers 1)
By Lyla Oweds
⭐️⭐️⭐️

I dream of a time where I was warm, safe, and loved.

But my waking reality is starkly different.

Anxiety plagues me and spirits haunt the shadows. No matter how fast I run, I can’t seem to escape my past.

The only solace and steady force in my life is my best friend, Finn.

And now… there’s a ghost haunting me. And I’m not certain if it wants help or if it wants to kill me. There’s only one person who can understand: Finn’s brother, Damen.

However, in reaching out, I’m betraying Finn and setting things into motion that cannot be undone.

But nobody ever said that doing the right thing was easy.


So apparently this is a rewritten story of this author’s Grimm Cases series the first book but I didn’t read the original so this is a new story for me. This is a strange one for me because I was really intrigued by the world and the supernaturals and the story was really what kept me reading as it was good. My issue was the main female character she was written as really naive and a little irritating if I’m really honest. I would have gone with a 2.5⭐️ rating if I could have.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Three years ago, Toby "Radiation" Fox stopped making rom hacks. Kinda sad, yet we did benefit. He released a one man project called Undertale on the pc market and the inter webs, as a whole, lost their mind. The game is your basic jrpg fare, traverse a world, do a thing, try not to die and don't trust flowers. Honestly, of all the games I played I rank this in my 10 favorites, not number one however. The truth of the matter is Toby was a rom breaker first and he would hack many games with the Nintendo rpg Earthbound being his playground. In essence it was Earthbound that inspired Undertale as many themes can be found. Honestly I felt as if I was playing another Earthbound game and yet it felt new, different. As Jon Jafari said with Earthbound, I could say it with this game, As an experience, this game goes beyond limitations. If you haven't played it, play it, but don't go in expecting amazing game play and mechanics. Go in expecting nothing and watch your expectations get overwhelmed. In fact as you play keep that determination thing in mind. It becomes so prominent that you begin to feel it. In fact the themes Undertale portray have in themselves become the driving force for my blog. Anyways, give the game a shot. No watching it online, you won't feel the emotions this game tries to portray. Get it, personalize it, experience it.

Maya Flowers sees a new commuter on her train, and knows that he’s The One, so she becomes obsessed, imagining what his life is like and who he is until she plucks up the courage to give him a note.

When I realised that this was based on a true story, I decided to read it, thinking that because it was meant that it wouldn’t to be too pink and fluffy. And I was quite glad that I picked it up because it was entertaining.

I really liked Maya, the fact that she seemed so normal. I loved that her obsession with James was so obvious, it made her such a relatable character.

I did struggle a bit with the pace of the novel. It was quite slow all the way through, when I’m more into novels that jump straight into a good juicy plot. But I should have expected this from a book that’s about missed chances.

It was definitely an enjoyable read, with some funny parts. It also definitely made me smile. However I did definitely struggle with it, and to say that it’s only short, it took me a bit longer to read than I thought it would. It just seemed to be missing something.

But since it’s based on a true story, I’m not sure I can really comment much on the plot.

It’s definitely worth reading if you like Jojo Moyes, and I did enjoy it. My only comment is that the pace seemed to let it down.
