This was the first time I'd ever read an online book, and the experience was annoying. It was a pdf, but I was still unable to get through the pages as quickly as if it had been an actual, physical book.

I liked reading this little novella, as it gave some background information on Shay before he came to Vail and told what he'd been up to in the time before he was rescued by Calla. ( )

Extremely creepy prequel. So dark, and so lonely! Poor Shay, luckily, he had some friends and could communicate a little with facebook.

Very apt start to the series. ( )

I think a novella must be the toughest kind of book to write. How do you fit in more info than you would in a short story, but less than you would in a novel? Shadow Days definitely fell into the category of novella. At times it read a bit like promotional material, but otherwise I enjoyed delving back into the world Andrea Cremer created.When I finished Nightshade, it took some deliberation, but I decided that I’m Team Shay. As Shadow Days is centered around Shay, it was great to learn more about him and how he came to be a part of Calla’s life. All of the descriptive passages did a nice job of showcasing Cremer’s descriptive writing style.Shadow Days was like an appetizer that is satisfying, but is so delicious that it leaves you wanting more. I eagerly await the coming installments in Cremer’s series! ( )
