Book Review: “The Shadow Man” by Amelia Cognet

I’m a little perplexed with this one. It’s called “The Shadow Man“ and has a spooky looking shadow man on the cover, so I figured I was getting something pretty close to horror. But this is really more of a teenage soap opera with a certain amount of demon fighting.

I’m not necessarily against teenage soap operas, but it wasn’t what I was expecting.

The writing was very good. This is clearly a very professional product.

I am a fan of plot twists, like character betrayals, and what not. This book had none. Also the characters felt two dimensional. The good people are 100% good, the bad people 100% bad.

I’m sure there are people who would love this book, but it just wasn’t for me. That said, the strong quality of writing leads me to give it a four out of five.
