I Love the Shadows: A Kaitlyn Strong Story

By Art DeForest

Not all nightmares happen when you sleep. Haunted by memories of a past that stripped her of existence, Kaitlyn Strong has made it a point to hunt the nightmares, the monsters of society that play with their food instead of living in peaceful coexistence. She does so alone... No exceptions.

But when the Vampire Council offers to reveal the whereabouts of Darius Abandonado in exchange for her aid, Kaitlyn finds that she is willing to bend that rule. The former head of House Abandonado is a sadist, a vampiric abductor... and the monster that forcibly turned her into a vampire, stripping her of her mortal life.

Caught between the light at the end of the tunnel in her life-long pursuit and the grating idea of being forced to work under their direction, Kaitlyn begrudgingly accepts a partnership with sexy council representative Deacon Caine. Along with her companion Fangs, a Savannah cat as beautiful as he is deadly, Kaitlyn and Deacon find themselves in a race against time to stop Darius before he can strike again.

Will Kaitlyn be able to exchange her years of selfless acts for her own peace and keep her independence? Or will she be forced to succumb to the nightmares she has held at bay for years?

I Love the Shadows is Book 1 of the Kaitlyn Strong Series by Art DeForest. If you enjoy the work of Michael Anderle and P.S. Power, you'll love this urban fantasy - and the series continues on well past this one, with more of Kaitlyn's story waiting in Book 2 and beyond.
