Shadow by L. Wilder

5.0

finally, my Shadow is here. I will wait for however long it takes for L. Wilder to finish a book. they are so worth the wait.
Ladies, Ladies, Ladies, and gentlemen if you read this amazing author sweet. but anyway, let’s talk about this amazing book. WAIT!!! I want to take a minute and say if you haven't read her Devil Chasers then what are you waiting for. Next if you haven't read the other Satan's Fury then HELLO, why are you waiting so long. I am almost done, if you haven't read Blaze yet then seriously what are you waiting for, no you don't need to read to follow on with Shadow but come on its the first in the Memphis Chapter so why not start from the beginning. Along with the writing getting better and better as it goes forward let’s talk about the covers. Shadow is one of my favorite cover that she has done, SHHHHHH just don't tell Smokey and Big and Stitch.
If you have read Blaze, then you have seen Shadow. you fall in love with this silent broken man. he doesn’t say much but you can tell that he has lead a hard life. well you know most of the Fury has lived a hard life. this book started with a bang. I was hooked from the start. I just knew L. Wilder was going to put my man through the ringer. I ignored everything including sleep because I was so enraptured with this book that I never wanted to leave the Fury. in this book it opens with Alex, she has a tough go of things but when she comes to a book store he hearts feels at home and even more so with the owner Hallie. I can relate girl. I feel at home when I enter the library or the bookstore. anywhere that has books is my safe harbor. you know Alex is running from something, but she just never found it till Shadow started to come in. Shadow needed a place to recharge and just be, when he walked into the bookstore he knew he found just the place even just for an hour. I loved how he just kept coming and coming till Alex took a chance on him. from then things changed between them and Shadow decided to be selfish even though he knows, or he thinks she deserves better. but the thing with Alex and Shadow is that even if the past comes between them they will always end up on top.
I have read everything from L. Wilder and I can confidently say that her writing gets better and better. there is no dead air in this book, that means there are no parts or chapters that you may think the book should have ended, you just don’t get that feeling in this book. not to mention the descriptive vibes you get from this book make it seems like it should be the next MC TV series on tv. and yes, I know who would play who right down to the Pres. Gus. I especially loved the flashback from Shadow. they hurt my heart and have me scared for him to think on his past. I absolutely loved this book and I cannot wait for the next one. I know who I want and so does L. Wilder. I hope you enjoyed Shadow just as much as I did.
