Enshadowed by Kelly Creagh

            Enshadowed by Kelly Creagh is the sequel to Nevermore in the Nevermore Trilogy. The book starts right after we left off; Isobel is grieving over her loss of Varen Nethers, the boy in her English class who she was forced into becoming partners with for a project, the topic of their choice: Edgar Allan Poe. Along the way the two become very close and Isobel finds herself trying to save Varen from himself because he can create a world of his own on paper and it can come to life.
       Throughout Enshadowed, Isobel searches for a way to get to Varen, who is trapped in his own dream world created by him because she destroyed his journal, not knowing that he was in there and is literally trapped in there. Her best friend, Gwen seems to be one of the few people who keeps Isobel sane.
       I enjoyed reading the book. I liked Isobel but it was sad to see that she wasn't the same after losing Varen. I understand that she suffered a loss but it felt like her whole world revolved around Varen. Despite this, what redeemed her was that she was still a strong person, she's trying to get back what she wants and that's Varen. She wants him safe and sound, with her, again. 
        The plot seemed a bit slow, it really picked up towards the end which was really great! Definitely one of my favorite parts of the book are towards the end. Those parts are my favorite because those are the most suspenseful, heartbreaking scenes in the book. I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
