Kristen Callihan's Darkest London series hits another
stride
with SHADOWDANCE, the fourth and latest installment to the
series. Jack Talent's past has been dark and horrendous but
it doesn't hold a candle to what he is about to experience
next. Catching the Bishop of Charing Cross is tedious and
will require the help of Mary Chase. Knowing how these two
bash heads at every opportunity, readers will be in for a
bumpy, but entertaining ride.
The standout of this story is Callihan's writing. You can
have endearing characters and epic worlds, but nothing is
more better than when you have stellar writing in a book.
Each chapter makes you hold your breath. Each conversation
between the protagonists furthers the plot. The way in which
this novel is built displays Callihan's unique talent and
you see this time and time again with each of her books.
Furthermore, Callihan expands her world with an interesting
surprise as she introduces mechanical men, a variety of
demons and more alluring creatures that go bump in the
night! As if the gloomy streets of London didn't already
make for a wondrous backdrop, each player holds a story just
waiting to be told.
SHADOWDANCE exceeded my high expectations. This book had it
all: lush backgrounds, intense fight scenes and brilliant
writing. Be ready to be fully submerged in the adventurous,
romantic world that Callihan has created. If you're like me,
you may never want to leave.
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.
