BOOK SYNOPSIS:
A modern-day ghost story with a twist.
Betrayed. Kidnapped on her way home from work, Maggie is thrown into a terrifying world of shadow. Narrowly escaping death, she flees her kidnappers only to come face to face with the enemy.
Coming across a dying stranger, Maggie unleashes a terrible curse when she saves Robert. Now with only a week to break the curse, time is running out as they are locked in a deadly fight with forces that will stop at nothing to destroy them before they succeed. Intensely romantic and thrilling, Desired by Shadow portrays the struggle between redemption, retribution and the desire to find a love that transcends time.
REVIEW:
To be honest this book was just too weird for me. I just couldn’t get into it at all. Maybe if I had read the first in the series (I didn’t realize it was one when I got it) I might have understood it more but it was just too out there.
I like ghost stories (like Heather Graham) and from the synopsis I thought it was something like that but it is so far from that it is hard to even say they both write ghost stories. First the ghost are able to manifest to physical form which I didn’t like. There are all kinds of supernatural creatures which I might have been able to appreciate if that is what I thought the book was about. The romance part is weird too and I didn’t like how Robert was sleeping with three women at the beginning of the book.
Maybe it is your style and I wouldn’t tell you not to read it but I think you need to know the real synopsis of the book before you choose this story.
