"Another exciting installment in this steam punk series!"

SHADOWDANCE is Book four in Kristen Callihan's Darkest
London series. I am always surprised when I read a book
by
this author and this book is no exception. I love the mix
of historical and paranormal romance. I think it's
important to read the previous books in this series before
reading this one, in order to completely understand the
world Callihan has created, as well as to get a better
understanding of the two main characters. Each book makes
me more invested in these characters.
Shifter Jack Talent
and GIM Mary Chase are forced to work together on an
investigation for the SOS. They are on the hunt for the
Bishop of Charing Cross and stop him from littering the
city with the bodies of paranormals. SHADOWDANCE is filled with all kinds of tension -- both
sexual and otherwise. In spite of the fact that they
constantly snap at each other, Jack and Mary are intensely
attracted to each other. I was glad that the author went
into more detail about their pasts. They are both full of
secrets, and I feel as though those secrets are the biggest
obstacle to the two of them finding happiness together.
It's great getting the story from both characters'
perspectives. They are both such wonderful and complex
characters. I love when they revealed themselves to each
other bit by bit and realized that they had more in common
than they thought. The heat they generate together is
fabulous.
The mystery and sense of danger make things
exciting and I enjoyed those elements as much as the
romance. I could almost see the fog and feel the dampness
as Jack and Mary ran around London. There are so many
fascinating secondary characters in this story. I can't
wait to read the next book to find out what happens with
Will Thorne and Holly Evernight. The incident with Adam and
the new GIM he created also sparked my interest. I eagerly
await the next installment in this series. These books are
always so addictive!
SUMMARY
Once a heart is lost in shadow . . .
Life has been anything but kind to Mary Chase. But the
Society for the Suppression of Supernaturals has given her
purpose. Now she's been tasked with catching a vicious
murderer dubbed the Bishop of Charing Cross. But someone is
already on the case-and the last thing he relishes is a
partner.
Only someone who lives in darkness can find it.
Jack Talent has been alone with his demons for many years.
He never expected to have the willful Mary Chase assist him
on the Bishop case. Their age-old rivalry reaches new
heights-even as their desire for one another reaches a
fever
pitch. Though he aches to bring her close, Jack's dark
secrets are a chasm between them. With dangerous enemies
closing in, Jack must find the strength to face the past .
.
. or risk losing Mary forever.
