Stir of Shadows (Legend of Rhyme #6) by Jaime Lee Mann

By Pamelascott

Marigold has never felt like she truly belonged with her family. And neither has Frederick. When a phoenix feather brings the young teens together for the first time, they finally understand why: they are twins, separated as children.

The two soon learn they have other siblings, and that if they successfully reunite with their brother and sister before the feather bursts into flame, they will all fulfil otherworldly destinies. What they don't know is that their mysterious sister is a villainous witch who has been trapped in the cover of a Grimoire to keep the world safe from her murderous scorn.

Meanwhile, Teagan finds herself in a hopeless situation and faces losing her tail forever. Time's running out, and it's up to Asher and Ariana to save her... if only they knew she was in danger.

Will Asher and Ariana save Teagan in time?

Will Marigold and Frederick risk releasing the witch to make their dreams come true?

And if they do, will the land of Rhyme ever be the same?

The Legend of Rhyme series really comes into its own with Stir of Shadows, the sixth book. This is my favourite of the series so far. A lot of events set up in the last books play off in this book, threads come together, clues come full circle like little breadcrumbs leading into a slighter lighter park of the forest and a lot is set up for the next books. This is a bit darker than the other books and I devoured every page. I'm really looking forward to book seven.
