Behind the Shadows - J. A. Owenby

When I found out the Shadows series was continuing with Kip, I was so excited — but even then, I wasn’t prepared for everything this book threw at me. It blends danger, passion, and chaos in a way that feels fresh while staying true to the Shadows world.

I thought Death’s backstory was wild, but Kip’s takes it to another level. Every time a new piece was revealed, my jaw dropped a little lower. The pain he carries and the way it fuels his obsession make him absolutely magnetic. His intensity is dark, raw, and somehow still impossibly sexy.

Holland’s scars are more “visible”. Her hesitance and nerves felt heartbreakingly real, driving her need to fade into the background. But watching her slowly rediscover her strength and find her voice was incredibly satisfying.

The twists and turns never let up — just when you think you’ve figured it out, something new hits. It’s emotional, suspenseful, and full of that dark, consuming connection that defines this series. By the end, I was breathless and completely obsessed all over again.

I’ll devour you — mind, body, and soul, until there’s nothing left for anyone else.
