The Window Seat on a Rainy Day

The second book in the Shadowdweller series is not as strong as the first. Though it gives a lot more insight into the Shadowdweller world and has a wonderful Beta hero, the heroine made this a less than enjoyable read.

Magnus is the head Priest in the Sanctuary. This gives him an incredible amount of power in the Shadowdweller world. He is an advisor to kings and a man who Sinners fear. But after the death of his handmaiden, Karri, after a shattering betrayal of him, Magnus is torn. His dreams and visions are telling him he must save his next handmaiden while his conscious self doesn't want another. But he can't resist and eventually he saves Daenaira from enslavement by her aunt and uncle. He brings her to the Sanctuary, but his biggest fear is that he is bringing her into a dangerous world. One that is hiding traitors under a thin veneer. As Dae's life is threatened, I think a few times, in only the first few days, he begins to wonder why his goddess Drenna would have sent him after Dae in the first place.
