Shadows of Doubt Book Review
The second book in the series picks up with Marcus, Alissa and friends starting a new school year, engaged in their sports activities. But all is not well with the school’s budget and Marcus’s dad, who is staring at losing his position as the coach.
The book is a good read for teenagers who want to read a slowburn, non-scifi and fantasy mystery. It touches on all the teen drama and different emotional aspects of family life. A touch of romance between the leading characters adds the usual teen dilemmas.
Overall , the book is a good read if you are not someone who likes nonstop action and want to get goosebumps on every second page of the book.
