I have heard about this series for a long time and I am not sure why I kept putting it off. it's a great series from what I have read so far.

Ivy Granger lives in Harboursmouth where all sorts of supernatural creatures roam around unseen by anyone who doesn't have second sight. Ivy has this ability to see these creatures and doesn't know a lot about her past, but she is soon to find out.

She has the ability to have visions by physically touching things, so that really puts a damper on her getting close to anyone. She avoids contact with people and things as much as possible. This ability though helps her become a detective of sorts and she deals with both humans and supernatural beings.

She hates dealing with demons but a demon has come to ask her to help the kelpies. Kelpies eat humans but this time they are the ones in need of help, something or someone is holding their king hostage and they are even worse than kelpies.

This was such a fun read and I can't believe I have had this on my list since 2015 and just now reading it. Anyone who loves paranormal type reads will probably enjoy this series.

Shadow Sight EJ Stevens 9780984247585 Books Reviews

It’s been quite a long time since I’ve written a review of any sort, so I figured that diving into a sure thing would be the best possible way to reacquaint myself with the process. So I chose a book by E.J. Stevens. Why?

Because for me, E.J. Stevens is pretty much the definition of a sure thing.

I’d read Stevens’ Spirit Guide series years ago, and given how much I appreciated the furthering adventures of young Yuki Stennings and her odd penchant for smelling the things dead people wanted to show her, I figured that Shadow Sight would offer me more of the same.

I was only sort of right about that.

Shadow Sight, which follows Ivy Granger, another quirkily-named and supernaturally-gifted protagonist, wasn’t totally what I expected. It isn’t stereotypically Young Adult—all the main characters being are in their mid-twenties, and there are many very adult references that snuck their way into the text—yet still carries that prevailing “innocence of discovery” that marks a lot of YA literature. Only is goes way further.

Ivy’s a psychic detective, you see, operating (with the help of her assistant/best friend Jinx) out of the fictional coastal city of Harborsmouth. The location itself is where we find the most separation from traditional YA fare. Harborsmouth is chock-full of fantastic creatures, a veritable fae nesting ground that every mythical beast, from hobgoblins to vampires to succubi to kelpies and selkies, call home. Myths are effortlessly blended from many different areas of the world, and many religious/spiritual beliefs, as well. This is some epic world-building, with Stevens seemingly calling on the Lovecraftian constructs of Innsmouth, Arkham, and Dunwich—places where the barrier separating the real world from the fantastical one is thin at best.

The painstaking way Stevens builds her world does tend to bring with it the one and only fault I can see in this book, in that descriptions placed in the middle of character interactions can occasionally make the communication feel clunky, full of stops and starts. However, this is really a minor critique, as, just like with Spirit Guide, the author demonstrates an adept talent for dialogue, and these instances are the exception rather than the norm.

The plot itself was surprising to me, much grander than I expected, with far more at stake. The action is descriptive and raw. When there is loss and horror to be seen, the reader does indeed see it, though there is care demonstrated here as well, a sort of sensitivity that would allow even a sensitive booklover reach the end without becoming revolted.

But the place where Stevens really shines is her characters. Ivy is front and center, of course, a somewhat hesitant heroine who, because of the volatile nature of her “gift” (she sees visions of the past whenever touching an object—any object—with her bare flesh), has become riddled with phobias and prone to irritation. Which makes her both fresh and very believable. Every character Ivy interacts with, from Jinx, to her ancient witch/mage-friend Kaye, to the unfortunate juvenile troll Marvin and Kaye’s house goblin Hob, has their own distinct personality and way of speaking. Each is a joy to read, and made turning the page that much more of a pleasing experience.

Overall, this is a truly entertaining bit of fiction, with high stakes and a ton of heart, and which sets the stage for what promise to be exciting adventures to come. Count me among those who’ll be diving into Ivy’s next adventure very soon.
Shadow Sight is a wonderful book for those of us that like paranormal romance and mystery without all the gratuitous sex and language. I really enjoyed how Stevens incorporated and explained how the mythical and human live together but didn't make it all glamorous and positive.

This book is a metaphor of the world today and how so many live together despite differences but there is still turmoil. Ivy has no idea why she is different but miraculously finds friends who accept her for who she is and help her navigate life while dealing with her differences. They don't look at her as being damaged or a weirdo but just as Ivy the girl they love and care for.

Stevens gives enough detail about the characters to leave youth wanting more but understanding enough about them to care about what happens to them. Without spoiling the story by saying who says this all I will say is that I agree with a statement that your background, lineage may suggest a way for you to be but that only you can ultimately decide what you end up being in life, good or bad, positive or negative, it is up to you to decide if you want to follow your lineage or make your own mark in the world.

Also some people can deal with seeing the truth in life while others like to stay quietly ignorant of what is really going on in the world. There are also those in the world who help those not able to face the truth and whether we agree with their methods or not sometimes we just need to left them do there job.

Just as in Shadow Sight there are always those that we sometimes must turn to in our time of need that normally we would never even talk to (I.e. vampires, demons, etc). No one is 100% good or bad. We all have something we would fight for and those fights may coincide with someone else's fight.

Ivy is the person who can possibly bridge the gap between the two worlds. I'm not sure we have found our Ivy yet but hopefully we will before our final battle for humanity comes about that will decide if mankind will be deserve to survive on Earth or not.

I am anxious to see how Ivy continues to handle living in two worlds so different from one another.
I have heard about this series for a long time and I am not sure why I kept putting it off. it's a great series from what I have read so far.

Ivy Granger lives in Harboursmouth where all sorts of supernatural creatures roam around unseen by anyone who doesn't have second sight. Ivy has this ability to see these creatures and doesn't know a lot about her past, but she is soon to find out.
