Fresh Fiction Review

Shadow Walker
Allyson James

Paranormal

I absolutely flew through this one! Allyson James has a knack for characters, action, plot, and the storyline was amazing! Janet is such a complete heroine. Her strength and adventure combine to make the complete package, combine that with the life, family, and love that she is still learning and SHADOW WALKER was as dynamic as I wanted it to be. I fall in love with Mick all over again with every stunning book in this series. The personalities that James has developed in all her characters add so much to the story. I was left feeling that I knew each one of them personally and my place in the story was just as important as theirs. Shadow Walker is the third book in James' Stormwalker series and it starts off with a thud...literally.

Janet Begay has fallen off the highway and into a sinkhole right along with Sheriff Nash Jones. As a Stormwalker who holds Beneath magic within her, Janet's magic should have kept her relatively safe from things that go bump in the dark. But this sinkhole holds surprises of its own; as skeletal hands creep into the darkness and seem to soak up her magic, Janet is suddenly afraid. Very afraid. The safety of her home and her town has been lost to her. Even her boyfriend is acting strangely, her evil half-sister keeps popping in, and now her grandmother has taken over her kitchen! What else could possibly go wrong? But oh, that is only the beginning!

Mick's distance is taking its toll on Janet, as well as all the extra guests that have been snowed-in or simply seem to have moved into her hotel. The new inspector has found a list of reasons to close her down and nothing seems to be working. As a dragon, Mick has always been steadfast, sure, and strong. He has undoubtedly always been there for Janet, as protector, lover, and friend. Only this time it appears that Janet will have to rely on all her sources to save Mick from the witch that has enslaved him. Fighting battles on all sides, Janet needs all the help she can get and all the patience to deal with everyone involved. While the plot thickens it seems that everyone has their own hidden agenda and none of them are willing to bend and play by the rules. So when all else fails, Janet realizes that she can only rely on herself and her love for Mick and hope that it is enough to save them both from the darkness that is trying to consume them.

Action packed, I literally read this in one setting! The plot kept me spinning, twisting, and on the edge of my seat as I turned page after page to find out what was going to happen next. The book is a constant struggle between life as we want it and life as it really is. James really hits home on the fact that we can't choose our family and we simply can't control our friends. All we can do it give it our best shot and hope that everyone lives in the end.

SUMMARY

Stormwalker Janet Begay returns home only to have the ground collapse beneath her-literally. After tumbling two hundred feet underground, Janet is rescued by her dragon boyfriend, Mick. But something dark touches Mick while in the sinkhole, and Janet might lose him forever unless she recruites the most unlikely of allies to stop the growing shadow.
