Among the Shadowdwellers, Trace holds power that some are willing to kill for. Without a stranger's aid, one rival would surely have succeeded, but Trace's brush with death is less surprising to him than his reaction to the beautiful, fragile human who heals him. By rights, Trace should hardly even register Ashla's existence within the realm of Shadowscape, but instead he is drawn to everything about her-her innocence, her courage, and her lush, sensual heat. After a terrifying car crash, Ashla Townsend wakes up to find that the bustling New York she knew is now eerie and desolate. Just when she's convinced she's alone, Ashla is confronted by a dark warrior who draws her deeper into a world she never knew existed. The bond between Ashla and Trace is a mystery to both, but searching for answers will mean confronting long-hidden secrets, and uncovering a threat that could destroy everything Trace holds precious.

Kritikerstimmen

"This romantic and strongly sexual story between complicated characters is made even richer by an intriguing secondary cast and efficient world-building that's familiar without being lazy." ( Publishers Weekly)

Loved the story! The world building is great, all the overlapping realms and how individuals can pass between them. I liked hearing about the different customs and traditions in the Shadowdwellers' world. Decent amount of spice, but nothing very kinky. And I like Asla and Trace together as a couple! I also kinda want to hear more of the chancellor Malaya's and Guin's story. Overall the 11-something hours passed really quickly!
Two things I did not like which are the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars: The men were annoyingly commanding in several instances - and not the hot kind, but the "you're stupid and I know better/I'm frustrated and taking it out on you/patronizing" kind of way... Also, I am generally not a fan at all of last-minute pregnancy announcements. Just let them be together in peace for a bit, just the two of them, don't they deserve it after all that danger and stress?!? Ugh!
The narrator does an amazing job, especially considering she is narrating the whole story herself and managed to give every person a distinctive 'voice'.

Great world building!
