With Tanakan prison empty of its most dangerous criminals, and a tyrant with a thirst for death still named as Crown, the Silvari and human worlds are on the edge of a catastrophe they may never recover from.
Kitten and Allure, the dual-perspective third installment in the Shadows and Shade series, is a slow burn RH that brings readers to the edge of the forest. So close to the memories that are … forest. So close to the memories that are literally left behind in the jagged patterns on her wrists and back.
Will Shade uncover the truth of who and what she is? Will the pentad discover the depths of Lithael’s plan before it’s too late to salvage the Silvari and human realms?
And most importantly, will Shade live long enough to eat her bodyweight in chocolate?

I LOVED this book.
The whole concept is original and the depth of vision in the characters is inspired. Amanda Cashure has brought Shade, Pax/Thane, Killian, Rourke and Seth to life and I will carry them with me for a long time. Even the ‘other’ small part characters have a depth rarely seen in books.
The build up in this story gets better with each book and the climax will be something to watch for.
I couldn’t recommend this more highly.
The 3rd book in this series seemed longer to me but it’s definitely hitting its stride now and quickening its pace too. Making it an easy read so you get through it quickly because it drags you in. Full of action, laughs and wit it’s hard not to like this series. The main characters Shade, Roarke, Pax, Seth and Killian have a great rapport and the banter makes it a great read. The cliffhanger ending was knockout too. Just loved it
What a chuckin’ great book!!! If you haven’t read Shadows and Shade yet, start there, you won’t regret starting this series. If you read books 1 & 2, well you’re in for a treat!!! Kitten & Allure is by far the longest book of the 3 so far. So plan out your reading time wisely because once you start this book, you’re not going to want to put it down until you’re done. It’s just soooooo gooooodddddd!!! And what a roller coaster this book is.. the emotional kind. I just friggin adore Shade and her sass. This girl is definitely Seth’s equal in mischief and their pranks haven’t stopped. I laughed, so hard that The hubby kicked me out of bed. My heart was ripped out on multiple occasions and I’m working on my newfound trust issues. We are still working on that prophecy, though I feel like I’ve got a majority of it figured out and just want to sit the guys down and say “look, listen”…. knowledge of Shade is growing and that girl is about to open up a can of whoopa$$ when she gets time to actually work on and understand herself and I cannot wait for her to whip it all out on our new found baddie (the epilogue just confirmed all my suspicions.. ugh).
Can’t wait to see what this crazy adventure has in store for us next!
This book is vast!! So much happens that I don’t even know where to begin. The POV from Allure adds so much to the character growth in this story. There are just as many answers as questions and I feel that I have learned so much and yet so little at the same time. I can not wait for the next book. I need to know how the story is going to play out now that I understand the direction it is headed. Seth is still my favorite and I think I might even love him even more now. I am beyond excited to read his book.
Oh my gosh! I so love these characters. And Shade is one of my Favorites. She is written so well. I can’t wait for the next book to see more of Seth’s story.
Oooof this latest edition in the Shadows and Shade series was so long! It not often that I get a book that takes me twelve hours to finish these days, so the fact that this book lasted so long made me extremely happy.
In this continuation we get to see what happens to the gang for the rest of the time left on this release seal. We finally get some answers to the blanks and unknowns in Shade’s past and Amanda Cashure very neatly and stealthily sets all her ducks in a row for the epicness that I think will happen in book four. There has been so much tension and build-up not only in their relationships but Shade’s future as well and I’m so excited to see how it will all come together. The final showdown is coming and there are still so many questions left unanswered in that message riddle sent from their mom.
Shade is her usual quirky self in this book but of all the books thus far she grows the most as a character in this one, I believe. She finally starts blossoming into the bada$$ we all know she is at heart and finally gets some bite to her bark. In this installation we also get to have some secondary characters around for a good portion of the book and the reactions by both the men and Shade are hilarious and cute. I absolutely adore this series these characters and this world, cannot wait until book 4. Highly recommend this!!
What a story this is turning out to be. Once again it jammed packed with drama, suspense, and a bit of mystery. The characters are growing and developing into this amazing group of people. I love their personalities and their chemistry between each other. The story is well written and has beautifully developed descriptions which you can easily picture. This story is a must read as is the entire series.
Shade’s bubble is shrinking and the guys need to find out why, solve a riddle, and make sure everyone stays alive. I love Shade’s snark and seeing her become more confident. There are some emotional parts, and I loved seeing the connections build between Shade and the guys. I have glommed books 1-3 and now I have to wait for book 4! Hopefully it is out soon!
Adore this series. After reading and being sucked into the first 2 I couldn’t wait to start this one and it didn’t disappoint at all. So much adventure and twists but I absolutely love it. Can’t wait to find out what happens next now!
Same problem. New complication. 22 paces. That’s the separation distance from any one of her Elorsins. Until one day it’s 18 paces. Oh no…
So Kitten and Allure picks up right behind Shadow and Darkness. (Was I slow on getting the naming trend? Lol.) Which has the group going in two different directions and leading to bad news on each end.
Not only are they running out of time with the mission seal but the bubble is inexplicably shrinking. Frustrations are high as the brothers try to puzzle out how to keep Shade safe from the Silvari world she’s now part of as a pentad member.
Shade is still struggling to be a full partner in the pentad with her Seeds. Nothing is going in their favor and Shade’s mortality is the biggest c*ckblock ever.
I’m so flipping invested in these characters now. I cried with Shade. (You’ll know when you get there.) Roarke and his inner self just want real love. Killian has a sense of humor begging to show. Seth makes me smile at almost every time he pops up. Pax might be learning to relax his control.
All five have grown in their interactions and the relationships feel so real. While I do enjoy some of the wham bam thank you ma’am style, I absolutely love the effort the author has put into real character building. The characters and emotions evolved over time.
So in warning this series is for long term investors only. No way you stop at book one. Now to suffer withdrawal until book 4.
I was provided an ARC for an honest review.
Kitten and Allure was everything I hoped it would be and so much more. Knowing the title I anticipated the time when Shade would be alone with Roarke and his Allure Seed. What would happen? What could happen? I knew what I wanted to happen… What actually happens is so much more than what I anticipated and becomes the key to unlocking the floodgates that moves the series forward in breakneck speed. Our bookish Roarke holds the knowledge and power in his hands as he researches to find answers to help solve the problem of the bubble, because that bubble is becoming an even larger (or smaller) problem than they realized.
It’s not long before all our Elorsins are back with Shade, before the problems unveiled at Tanakan prison are shared, and before the Alpha Seed begins to put his pieces into play on the chess board.
The threads that bind these five are winding tighter and tighter. Who can see them? The fragrance and strange smell in the air, who notices it? Sides have been chosen, but who stands with Shade and her men and who stands against them? Those who don’t should be wary because before these four finally found a reason to live…
Things are getting serious and the danger is increasing. The third book was just as enjoyable as the other two. I didn’t want it to end. I look forward to the next book in the series!
