Back Cover: Marcus Helios was a member of the Shadow Guard until one reckless act changed it all, bringing him to the edge of madness. His hope for salvation lies in a cryptic message contained within two cryptic scrolls he believes to be in the possession of an enigmatic beauty named Mina. And Mina is not about to hand over the scrolls’ secrets to a total stranger. But someone else has designs on the mysterious relics, and on Mark: Jack the Ripper’s jilted bride. Her malevolent embrace will trap everyone within reach, and her dark plans will challenge the powers of all she is destined to destroy.

This is the second book in the Shadow Guard series. After what Marcus went through to get Jack the Ripper he is waiting to see when the orders for his death will come. But then there is hope that may be able to save him. He must learn from Mina if she has the scrolls that will help save him. Mina isn’t sure what to make of Mark even though he does intrigue her. This is a great second book as it picks up right from the last one, just changing the main characters. Giving a more dynamic richer feel to the world that is created with this story. I really enjoyed reading this book and can’t wait to read the next one, Darker Than Night.

Sub Genre: Historical Romance

Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: The Shadow Guards – A mysterious order of immortals entrusted with the destiny of the living – have been called upon to reclaim the souls of the most wicked and depraved of earth’s mortals. Sleeping Beauty. Countess Selene is the Shadow Guard’s only female member. It has taken her centuries to prove herself worthy of the Order. She sacrificed herself to save the people of London, and she’s now under a sleeping spell in the Tower of London, guarded by Raven warriors. Dangerous Beauty. When Selene awakens on a dark street with a blade in her hand and a dead prostitute at her feet, everything changes. She loses her power and authority, and is held under surveillance by Lord Avenage, England’s Ravenmaster, a reclusive and seductive immortal warrior whose past is shrouded in secrets. But what they don’t realize is that evil is watching. Cut off from the protective ranks of their fellow Shadow Guards, Selene and Avenage find themselves face-to-face with an ancient enemy, with only each other to trust…

This is the third book in the Shadow Guard series. This is Selene and Avenage’s story. Selene has been asleep since the last book but when she wakes things don’t look good for her. Avenage has been watching Selene for years but now he thinks she may have killed one of his brothers. As the two work together they finally told each other how they feel for one another, but is that enough. This is a great addition to the series. It just builds from the last two books. I can’t wait to see where the series will go from here.

Sub Genre: Historical Romance

Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Ever since an accident took away her memory, Miss Elena Whitney can’t recall the secrets of her past. All she knows is that with her mysterious benefactor, Archer, Lord Black, returning to London at the behest of Queen Victoria, she should seize the chance to get some answers. But the dangerously handsome Lord Black is not exactly the man Elena imagined. Archer, a member of the immortal Shadow Guard, has been summoned to London to eliminate an exceptionally evil threat: Jack the Ripper. With his prey brutally killing London’s East End prostitutes, Archer must stop the Ripper before the murderer’s soul slips beyond his grasp, and do so while protecting his beautiful young ward, Elena, whom he spared from death two years earlier. But with a wave of panic spreading across London, Archer fears that Elena is his weakness – a distraction he can’t afford, especially since she’s likely to become the Ripper’s next target.

This is the first book in the Shadow Guard series. It is set in the time of Queen Victoria and Jack the Ripper. Elena is a nurse who hopes to one day become a doctor. She is the ward of the aloof Lord Black. Lord Archer Black is unaware that he has a ward but soon discovers this upon arriving home. The two have a very entertaining first meeting at the home. This is only the beginning of the book. It is filled with twists and a great plot. I found that the characters are brilliant. I liked this book very much and can’t wait to read the next one in the series, So Still the Night.
