Double, double toil and trouble; Secrets, threats, and nightmares bubble. Here’s the recap from today’s blog tour hosts:

“…this book focused on the twins and the other Rephaim relationships and dynamics. Furthermore, we do learn more about the other players in the conflict, and once again it appears that things are not as the initially appear. All of this makes Shimmer a necessary addition to the Rephaim series.” – Lynne at Words of Mystery

“I love the action in this series, and Book 3 doesn’t disappoint…. I also love the intrigue that runs as the backbone of the story…. There were definitely secrets and lies and all the threads on those haven’t been untangled yet. Fortunately for us, the final book Burn is due out this summer so it won’t be too long of a wait to find out what really happened!” – Laura at If It Has Words

“As this is book three and I’m new to the series, I was concerned that I won’t be able to break in. But that wasn’t a problem because there’s a who’s-who character list at the front of the book and the prologue offers a review of events…. Weston is skilled at writing action…. The suspenseful last chapter makes me yearn to read book four Right Now!” – Leanne at Author Leanne Dyck

Welcome! We’re excited to see what the first day brings to our Shimmer blog tour. Book three in the Rephaim series, this is what our tour hosts think:

“We have another winning installment in this series here! If you haven’t checked out The Rephaim yet, I urge you to do so. I’ve read quite a few angel books that just didn’t do anything special with such a rich mythology, but Paula Weston has created a thrilling, compelling series that I will miss very much once it’s concluded.” – Lee at Rally the Readers

“This YA series is a devilishly well-crafted maelstrom of lies, devotion, secrets, prophecy, and espionage.” – Jillian at centre of the universe: the dreaming

“After reading the first two books in the series, I’ve come to expect an adrenaline rush of a read in Shimmer and that was exactly what I got: crazy, kick-ass action, full of unexpected twists and turns and some secrets revealed, fully fleshed out cast of characters, a heroine I can get behind of and root for, sexy, sexy Rafa, the sexual tension between Gaby and Rafa **fans self**, and that cliff-hanger ending that was all kinds of frustrating” – Michelle at Undeniably Book Nerdy

“The Rephaim series keeps getting better by each new book. This is the third book in this series and I honestly can say that Weston doesn’t seem like she’ll be slowing down…. It honestly reads like a movie. There is never a dull moment when it came to the plot and I honestly can’t recommend it enough because I have not read a series that had the complete package…. Honestly all three books, Shadows, Haze, and Shimmer have been excellent.. I can’t really tell you which I liked more because I enjoyed them all immensely.” – Juhina at Maji Bookshelf
