Shadows

SHADOWS is my kind of book - powerful and thrilling, sexy and smart, smooth and emotional. Stella Barcelona delivers another winner - a beautifully written, action-filled story that sizzles with heat and heart. You'll be tempted to read SHADOWS quickly. Go slow and savor it, though. In the end, there is only one thing you will want from this fully satisfying read, and that is more great stories from this promising new author. -- Cherry Adair, NY Times Bestselling Author Cataclysm.
