I don’t know about you, but I read to escape from the harsh realities of my life. It’s just give me a break from all this sickness and death. That doesn’t mean I’m not completely annoyed about other things going on in this vast world.įor me, one of my biggest gripes lately is all about who is dying, stroking out, overdosing, vampire lupus. For the people who know me and my rants about the series, please pick your jaws up from the floor. After reading The Thief, I have made peace with the pairings. That scene in Lover Awakened when he drinks V’s blood was probably the most erotic scene ever written (And there was NO sex). Up until this book, I still felt that strong connection – V and B have some serious chemistry. I am not going to lie to you when I say I was not one of those happy readers of Butch/Marissa and Vishous/Jane. The reason I bring up the V/Butch thing is because, Vishous and Jane (The Ghost) take up a large part of this book. I am also one of the readers who was shipping Vishous and Butch. See, I know the fans of this series are hardcore. I guess, I’m the hopeless romantic waiting for those once fuzzy feelings from the earlier books (I am totally delusional). I have been hanging with the BDB so long I just can’t quit. Meaning, who is going to die next? Which for me is weird considering this is a romance series. Now I read each release with my eyes wide open. Isn’t that the way with long series? But The Shadows really broke me, and I don’t mean in a happy, tingly end-of-book way. I think on every review I do of this series I put up my love/hate disclaimer. If you’ve been a reader of this series and you don’t mind spoilers? Grab a cup/glass of whatever makes you happy and get comfortable.

If you haven’t read these books yet and you hate being spoiled, now’s a good time to back away slowly. I mean, I can’t discuss this book without going to the beginning of this series. I am going to tell all you duckies over here at The Pond that there will be spoilers.
