Publisher's summary

Andras:
When the light-magic users known as Casters took everything from me, I vowed to make them pay.

Little did I know the perfect opportunity would show up in the form of a sweet Caster the moment I took his arrow to the heart…literally. Bastian knows that I’m made of dark magic, the very thing he’s been taught to destroy. But instead of turning away from me, he takes a chance on me, leading me behind the walls of the group out to kill me.

Bastian makes me remember that there’s more to life than revenge—although I can’t help but love the look he gives me when I cause chaos. But what I don't realize is there's someone who's been watching me, someone only Bastian can help me fight.

Bastian:
How is it that a man wielding dark magic is the only one who can save me?

Even though Andras goes against everything I fight for, I can’t stop myself from drawing him into my life.

What’s worse is that it’s clear he wants something from the Casters, but when he makes me laugh and feel like I’m living for the first time in my life, it’s impossible to turn him away.

When I find myself caught in a web of lies between those I trusted and those I feared, I realize the only one I can rely on is the one person who’s forbidden.

Cast in Shadows contains an antihero with no filter and a strange obsession with chili, a “pet” who sleeps through all the excitement, and possibly the least romantic movie date ever.

Formulaic but fun

If, like me, you are a huge fan of Alice you will notice that her formula is pretty set. And here is yet another example of crazy character meets sensible character trope. That said her audio books never fail to amuse (huge props to Greg here). Her quirky, reckless, but loveable characters are interesting and just different enough to keep her fans listening.
Can't wait for book 2.

Wow! Crazy great!

I’m absolutely stunned by how amazing this book was! So so creative with fantastic world building and in depth characters. There’s just too much to mention other than I freaking loved it and am off to purchase book two.

"Gore, violence and chili!"

I love Alice Winters stories!!! Greg does a fantastic job at his voicing and how presents the story to us! I can't wait to read/listen to the next book!
The part where ya find out who is who is like a wind up what a minute moment.
The characters sayings are adorable. funny and straight up I wanna hit them just for saying that to the baby MC that I felt protective over, but thats the older sister kicking inside.

I did not dislike anything about this book. Twas a fantastic listen and I can't wait for more of her books 🥰

yay evil cults

I really enjoyed this book, as I enjoy all Alice Winters' books. Greg Boudreaux did a great job, as was expected. I really liked how Bastian is actually very strong and competent, but has been mentally and emotionally beaten down until Andras supports him into realizing his own worth. Both of them are better together, despite all the reasons that should tear them apart. There are so many questions that are still unanswered at the end of this book and I just want the next one ASAP to get those answers!

another fun series

first let's start by saying this wouldn't be as amazing without the amazing narration of Greg Bordeaux! he just brings everything he touches to life!
And here I fall down another alice winters rabbit hole! This should be another brilliantly unique series and cannot wait to see what happens next with this group and let's just hope Roman pulls his head from his bum and chooses the correct side and helps our not so heroic heroes.

Absolutely awesome.

I really enjoyed the story. The main characters played off each other incredibly well. The narrator brought it all to life and had me laughing out loud. ( might have looked a bit crazy walking the dog). it made a day of domestics fly by. If I could give it more stars I would.
