Sea of Shadows by Kelley Armstrong - Retail Value $9.99 (On Amazon for $9.18)

Kelley Armstrong, #1 New York Times bestselling author, takes an exciting new direction with this big, breathtaking blend of fantasy, romance, horror, and pulse-pounding action, perfect for fans ofGraceling and Game of Thrones.

Twin sisters Moria and Ashyn were marked at birth to become the Keeper and the Seeker of Edgewood, beginning with their sixteenth birthday. Trained in fighting and in the secret rites of the spirits, they lead an annual trip into the Forest of the Dead. There, the veil between the living world and the beyond is thinnest, and the girls pay respect to the spirits who have passed.

But this year, their trip goes dreadfully wrong.

With all the heart-stopping romance and action that have made her a #1 New York Timesbestselling author, and set in an unforgettably rich and dangerous world, this first epic book in the Age of Legends trilogy will appeal to Kelley Armstrong's legions of fans around the world and win her many new ones.

This box also included some book swag, and a signed bookplate sticker.

Verdict: I like that The Book Drop has started to include some extras with each box - it helps add to the value. I looked up reviews for this book, and some reviewers have been concerned with it being slow to start. I have a rule that if I get 50% into a book and I don't care what happens to the characters, I stop reading - so we'll see if this book passes that test!

I LOVE this book! Kelley Armstrong is my favorite author. Her best series in my opinion is The Darkest Powers series, but this book is pretty awesome too.

I haven’t read this one (yet) but I *love* Kelley Armstrong. Her “Women of the Otherworld” series is one of my faves of all-time. My best friend, mom and husband all enjoyed it as well. It’s definitely a more adult take on the subject matter and the first book, Bitten, was made into a TV show that’s going into its third season on Space (SyFy in the States). Plus, she’s Canadian and lives near enough to me that I got to attend a reading she gave and meet her in person 🙂 If this one’s not your speed, try Bitten!
