Customer Reviews

Lots to expect in this book!

There is no doubt that Realm of Shadows is a good read. All of Drake's mysteries are excellent. Never have I gotton bored with her writing, and I always keep turning and turning those pages until I come to the end. While reading this book or any other books written by Drake, readers must keep in mind that appearance can be deceiving. An okay person who seems quite nice in the beginning can suddenly reveal his or her true identity as the ultimate villain- like ___ in this story... (don't want to spoil it for you!). That is what keep those pages turning and make Drake such an excellent writer!

Wonderful!

This was one of the best books I've ever read!!

Another great read from Shannon Drake

I found this book to be another great vampire, romance from Ms. Drake and I couldn't put the book down. I thought her plot line just awesome with some great turns and twists.

Interesting .

I bought this book several weeks ago,and it sat on my to be read pile. I read several low reviews and I decided to give it a shot. I really enjoyed this book, the whole protector of the Allience was an interesting take on the Vampire and Werewolf genre. Tara and Ann are cousins and both are grandaughters to Jacques DeVant a now American and French protector. Ann sends for Tara her American cousin and both girls are thrown into a whole new situation. I have never read her earlier books so I never met Lucian or Jade,two very interesting indiviuals but Brent was a very hunky and interesting person, and I'm so glad that he and Tara got together at the end. Please give this book a chance you might really enjoy it.

Not a bad edition to the genre...

I waited impatiently for this book to come out, for months (like most of us probably do ), and while I found it to be a good book, I didn't think that it explored the characters, or their relationships, sufficiently to really be as gripping as some of the others in the series.It was great seeing some of the characters from the previous books, such as Lucian and Jade, and Rick Boudreaux, but there were a lot of new characters added, and I think they needed to be fleshed out a little more, for those who had, perhaps, not read the previous three books in the set.All in all, it was a quick read, and I enjoyed it, however, I had hoped it would be as fast-paced and engaging as the previous books.But would I recommend it? *Definitely,* no question about it, and I'm still looking forward to the next book in her vampire series, which is due out around this time next year.
