Pamela (The Rylee Adamson Epilogues) (Volume 3)

I loved the continuation of the story in Pamela. Cool secrets revealed that bring the Rylee and Lark stories even closer together. I will keep reading and recommending these as long as Shannon will write them. Absolutely can't wait for the next one!

If you already enjoy Shannon Mayers books and know and love Rylee and you then may know about Lark and the elemental series and yeah she is awesome too, then you will love and enjoy Pamela.
Pamela had already appeared in Rylee and now she has her own story and it is spellbinding!

The story starts off pretty straight forward but as we all love and know with Shannon's books the twists and turns come right around there corner. Here it is about resurrecting someone dear!
Now Pamela's powers are special and this book helps you understand here a lot.

It also crosses over into both book universes and gives you insight in past occurrences!

The story itself pulls you right in and you get to meet new characters and this time they are even more fitting and just bring the book together.

Now if you're new to Shannon's world this is a great book but you need the back story! So please grab Rylee and grab Lark!

You won't be disappointed!

5 Stars... We meet Pamela in the initial books of the "Rylee Adamson" Series as a "broken" teenager betrayed by those who should have protected and loved her, but who also is the source of an ultimate power... we travel with her as she faces obstacles no teenager should be challenged with and watch as she becomes increasingly independent seeking her own identity and an understanding of her abilities... In this epilogue, we watch Pamela detach from her pack and place her trust in an unlikely source... This leads her down a path to facing her painful past, making decisions that can have disastrous consequences; and ultimately connecting with and understanding the depth of her power... I enjoyed learning more about Pamela and watching her grow and strengthen in her developing character; her tenacity, compassion, and willpower shine through as she learns to trust herself and become the powerful witch she was always intended to be:)

You can guarantee that anything penned by Shannon Mayer will take you through a tumultuous emotional journey and Pamela did so more than usual. I was very much afraid after the ending of the last instalment that Pamela would behave like a spoiled brat and go towards the dark side - however I should never have feared. Pamela took us to new places and did some major growing up, facing her life more an adult than as a teenager. The world looks a little different from her perspective and revelations were made, I understood things differently, and more than ever I am anxious to read what happens next. I also came to realise that in this world, much like our own there is no black and white. The characters that were introduced to us as part of Lark's world are becoming more interwoven with Rylee's and what once looked like the evil is now a little more grey. Deliciously complex and gritty, I adored this book so much. And the ending....... OMG the ENDING!

Oh my, what a tangled web Shannon weaves!  First I would like to see a timeline laid out for The Rylee Adamson, Elemental and Rylee Adamson Epilogues; these books are so interwoven that I'm racking my brain trying to figure where this book falls in into place.  OMG! Mind is officially BLOWN!  Shannon how do you do it? 

This world is so utterly vivid and all-encompassing that you can’t help but get sucked in from the beginning.  I will warn people that I don’t think they will appreciate Pamela to the fullest if you haven’t read The Rylee Adamson series or The Elemental series along with the first two Rylee Epilogues.  I just personally feel you won’t have the full investment in Pam if you don't read the previous novels.  However, Shannon gives enough backstory that you could tackle it by itself without feeling to incredibly lost, but I wouldn’t recommend it.

Pam has once again left her “family” to learn her craft from the mysteries Raven.  She feels like she must help protect her family at all costs, do to escalating violence happening with the humans around the world. 

“The war against the demons was won, but something else was coming, and I knew it as surely as I knew the color of the sky.”

She is sent on several quest that test her merit in order to prove herself strong enough for Raven to train her.  She was once again forced to fight, to kill, and to face the darkness inside herself. 

“I was a child, forced into a war that was not my own. A child asked to do things no child should be."

Pamela is a character that to me is a mix of both Rylee and Lark yet totally her own.  She is a young girl with incredible amounts of power, that aren’t yet all realized.  She has so much weight on her shoulders yet, she endures it all with a fortitude of someone twice her age. 

“We do not always have a choice of where we go, or where we stay.  Sometimes we just do what we must and that must be enough.”

This story was so unexpected to me, I didn’t see any of this coming.  But I never do with Shannon.  But the ending! OMG! The ending!!! Once again I found myself screaming because there were no more pages to turn!!!!  Being part of Shannon’s ARC team I am lucky that I get the books a bit earlier than most, but she still doesn’t give us many hints.  The ARC of Pamela I voluntarily received gets a Huge 5 Boundless Stars.
