Jessa Bellamy has many secrets and at
least one of them helps her keep her company in the
forefront of background checkers for corporations. Jessa
has lead a very solitary life for a long time and it’s
actually for the same reason she is so good at her job. On
the cusp of landing a really spectacular client for her
company, all heck breaks loose and Jessa is kidnapped. Now
she has to keep her secrets from him while protecting others
like her who have banded together.
Gavin Matthias is very, very old and he
knows all about keeping his secrets known only to a few
select people. He also knows that there are many others
like him around with usual abilities and that there is also
a company and a madman leading it that will stop at nothing
to gain all of those secrets and sell them to the highest
bidder. With the help of a few trusted people, Gavin
protects others like himself.
Gavin knew about Jessa way before she
ever saw him. His hand was pushed when it was discovered
that Jessa was the next on a certain hit list. The best
solution is to kidnap her himself and hope to convince her
that he really was one of the good guys. Jessa doesn’t know
what to believe when faced with amazing stories that she is
told is the truth. Gavin and Jessa have sparks flying
between them and only part of it is tension. Danger is
coming for them, which causes Jessa to believe beyond a
doubt that Gavin and his people are the good guys. The
question is have they wasted too much time and put everyone
in danger?
Life and death decisions mean even more when love is in the
balance. Shadowlight is the first book in a
spinoff series from the beloved Darkyn series. In this case
the Kyndred are focused on as they begin to fight for their
right to live in peace. Jessa had to make major changes in
her life once and she doesn’t really want to do it again.
Gavin knows all about being betrayed and he fights to make
sure none of his people are betrayed again. I loved Jessa
attitude the same as I did Gavin’s calmness. It was not
surprising that the sparks quickly became flames of
passion. I really enjoyed seeing just how the Kyndred had
come together and were using their gifts to help one another
defeat those who would harm them. I also loved that several
of the Darkyn appeared to make the circle complete. I will
be watching for the next Kyndred story, as I love rooting
for the underdog. Shadowlight is a wonderful
story of passion, danger and a must read for anyone who
loved the Darkyn. You will fall just hard for the Kyndred –
I know I did. |
