My Review:
Shifting Sands is the third and final book in the Desert Shadows Saga by Melanie Bokstad Horev. Shifting Sands like the first two books pulled me in from the first page and never let go. I will be thinking about this series for a long time. The title Shifting Sands fits so well. Love it.
A storm is raging across the lands of Desert Shadows. Everyone has taken refuge in Mount Everglace and the mountains are about to come down on top of them. They must find a safe place for everyone before it is too late.
The storms keep raging on, food is slowly dwindling away, people are starving, tempers are flaring, and nerves are on edge causing fighting among the people.
Can they find a safe place in time with the storm raging outside? Can they get out of the caves in time? Another question what is waiting for them on the outside? What kind of dangers are out there?
Some dangers lie within the land while others lie within the human variety. The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat biting my nails as Nour braved the outside putting herself in danger to save the others left behind in the mountain.
Just like the first two books Shifting Sands is filled with many twists and turns that helped to keep me on the edge of my seat racing to the end. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough as I wanted to know it all and I wanted to know it now. I am sad that Shifting Sands is the last book in the Desert Shadows Saga.
I loved the characters and the many twists that kept the story flowing from the first page of the first book until the last page of the last book.
I highly recommend Shifting Sands to all fans of dystopia and post-apocalyptic books. Grab a copy of Shifting Sands today!
