Light Lost (Shadows and Light Book 2)

A cruel trial tests the love of a lifetime. Haven and Ryker must find each other, before evil finds them.

“Let me go. I’ll be right back,” she promised, and kissed his lips. “You won’t even know I’m gone.”

Separated from the love of a lifetime, Haven and Ryker are forced to endure a cruel trial that tests more than their bond. Though Haven is in Terra under simulation, blissfully unaware of the bonding trial, Ryker is left in Berinia, abandoned and stricken with a loneliness he’s never known. His choices test the limits of his relationship with his Triad and everyone he loves.

But time is not their only enemy. The Phoenix is the key to Praesia’s safety, and in Haven’s absence, those who set them on this path flourish, gain new allies, and set in motion a more permanent scheme to keep Haven and Ryker apart. Their ambitions reach for the throne and the very heart of Praesia.

For their enemies, the trial seems a success when Haven returns changed, with a damaged memory of her seraphim life. With the support of her loves ones, Ryker is determined to help Haven remember who they were together and the love they shared, but his own scars from the trial run deep. They struggle to find each other, not only for the bond they have fought to preserve, but to save their world.

★★★★★
The characters, plot twists, and worldbuilding in this are wonderfully done. Even with the sheer amount of events happening in this, at no point did I feel disconnected from the story. Leigh’s prose is crisp and engaging, and strong characters carry the story through an absolute kaleidoscope of emotions and intrigue to an ending that is both surprising and inevitable. I loved every page of this.

I’m so happy to say this book went above and beyond all my expectations. I was so invested in this book from the very first chapter. I read it cover to cover without putting my kindle down once. The pace/flow of the book was incredible.

This storyline is phenomenal, character development is spot-on, chemistry is well, there, in bucket-loads… plenty of moments to cry, mourn, laugh, pull for your favorites and contemplate the downfall of your not-so-favorites.
