"Spectacular conclusion to the trilogy!"

Fantasy Urban
Samantha Ryan is determined to work with a different
partner
at the Special Investigations Unit (SIU). She's put up
with
enough busywork from her partner, Gabriel Ryan, and her
boss
offers her the perfect solution- a chance to guard an
official (one they suspect is actually a clone).
Unfortunately, Gabriel is furious as he suspects it's a
plot
to draw out their enemy, Sethanon. Will Gabriel and Sam
figure out how to handle the ever-growing connection
between
them in time?
PENUMBRA is the third and final book in the Spook
Squad series. PENUMBRA is best appreciated in the
context of the series as a whole as Keri Arthur plunges
the
reader headlong into the phenomenal world she has crafted.
The ongoing storylines as well as the relationship between
Gabriel and Sam have been developed over the course of the
series. Arthur
PENUMBRA is action packed, from start to finish. Keri
takes us further into the mystery of Sam's past and the
connection to the Hopeworth Military Base. I love seeing
Sam
continue to grow and develop confidence in herself as she
starts to look at herself as more than just the job.
Keri Arthur is a master at urban fantasy world building
and
character development and the Spook Squad series is
proof of this. I've read and reread this series and love
it
each and every time. My only disappointment with PENUMBRA
is
that the series ends here as there are no plans to
continue
it. PENUMBRA and the Spook Squad series are
masterfully done and I can't recommend them enough!

SUMMARY
TWIN KILLING Agent Sam Ryan wants out of the Special Investigations
Unit. She’s sick of the attitude from her partner, Gabriel
Stern. She’s sick of the paperwork. Most of all, she’s sick of
feeling lonely. But her boss isn’t about to let her go
that
easily. He gives Sam a choice: either stay stuck in her
office or guard a clone replacement of Dan Wetherton, a
government minister. Sam reluctantly chooses the latter—
even
though she suspects she’s being used as bait to draw out
the
SIU’s elusive nemesis. Gabriel would like nothing better than to be on his own,
without a partner to hold him back. Then he learns that
Sam
has been assigned to protect Wetherton—or whatever it is
that’s replaced him. Wetherton’s clone could have come
from
only one place: Hopeworth, the military base that contains
the secrets of Sam’s past. Determined to protect her,
Gabriel is drawn into a fight against unspeakable evil.
And
all too soon, Sam and Gabriel discover that the connection
between them is far more powerful than anyone could ever
have imagined.
