Chronicles of Nick: Shadows of Fire Book 4

For over two decades, Sherrilyn Kenyon fans have been begging to know more about Acheron’s demon. Simi has always been the absolute fan favorite, since the day she first flounced onto pages and won reader’s hearts.

Now those dedicated fans will learn the truth ...

Life as a demon is never an easy one. Orphaned as a child, Simi was left to make her own way in the world of humans. Bound to the Atlantean god who caused the death of her mother, she’s spent her life trying to make sense of a world that baffles her.

But as the gods vie for a power that leaves demons, Dark-Hunters and humans struggling to take sides, Simi can no longer rely on the god, Acheron, for protection. She must find her own way. Not just for herself, but to save the lives of her family and friends.

Only one entity holds the secret she needs to save Acheron’s life. But the price it demands is steep, and it will leave her at the mercy of a creature known for cruelty. Her choice should be easy. Save Acheron at all costs. Yet some prices are too high and by saving Acheron, she just might destroy everything.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Simi’s story! I honestly never imagined we would get Simi’s story. But after little bits here and there in the Nick Chronicles that hinted at her future, I was more than curious. And super happy when it was announced. The story takes us back way to the beginning when Simi was little and how she ended up with Acheron. We go through many, many years with her and her adventures. And even more interestingly, the one who ends up winning her heart. Which I will absolutely not spoil! It was so interesting to see where their friendship began and really where their love story began. And how it took them a very long time to acknowledge the love between them. And it’s someone who definitely surprised me! But I hit a point of where it started to make sense and then by the end, I was thrilled for these two. Like I said, the story covers a lot of ground and key moments that we see in the Dark Hunter series as well as the important factors from the Nick Chronicles. Makes me want to do a serious reread. But Simi has always been a beloved character. Known for her crazy appetite and even more for her love of those she claims as her friends and family. We get to watch Simi truly grow up (something Acheron isn’t exactly thrilled about), but what a great story all around! I couldn’t put it down and it was a reminder of how much I loved this world (spin-offs and all!). So much comes together here and it was very interesting to see what Simi did and to even realize that she knows quite a lot more than what everyone thinks. Great, great story! Can’t wait for the next book in this series!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
