In the Shadows

De: J.A. Owenby

Narrado por: John Hartley, Celia Stone

When you finally meet the monster hiding under your bed.

One, two, I'm coming for you.

She's my obsession.

Three, four, kneel on the floor.

I want to possess her in every way.

Five, six, I'm up to my old tricks.

She knows me as The Portland Serial K!ll3r.

Seven, eight, lay in wait.

Little does she know I'm watching her.

Nine, ten, never to be seen again.

Welcome to your worst nightmare, Little Lamb.

Who am I? Let me introduce myself. I'm Death. And I have found my Queen.

Ella McCloud, you're the flicker of light in my dark, dark world. The color in my grayscale existence.

I yearn for you like the night yearns for the stars.

In the Shadows is a dark, age-gap romance standalone with an unhinged hero. It contains multiple POVs, multiple storylines, and many exciting moving pieces that come together in one satisfying and unexpected HEA. For mature listeners.

What a dark and beautiful story

JA really knocked it out of the park with this book. I usually don’t “read “ much but I also read this book as well I preordered the audiobook. It’s wonderfully written and narrated. It’s not the usual dark mafia romance I listen to and that’s what I loved about it! It’s got tropes I love. Stalker, OTT unhinged. I loved it and hope the story continues with these characters!! Highly recommended.

Overall good story that kept me guessing

Suspense was really good. The audiobook had several mispronunciations that were distracting and the male character could be heard swallowing and even a tummy rumble once haha slightly distracting but not a huge deal

Obsessed!!

This book was sooo good!! My new favorite book ever! I couldn’t put this book down. I’m so sad it’s over already!!

Love the audio and the book

you amazing amazing author you are !!!! This book was so exciting and nerve-racking but overall I enjoyed this book so much . This dark and twisted. This is what I mean when I say that by far on what dark romancei love , a mask man who is welling to do anything for a woman and has a hidden identity and twisted justice . Love it.

The story was really good!

The story was good! Narrators were great, at first I wasn’t sure but I gave it a minute and loved it! Spicy but not too much! Twisty turn 🤭🤭🫣🫣🤫🤫 I enjoyed it!

Well, this is not for the faint of heart.

This was unexpected.

I have mixed feelings about this book. The narration was very good and also the writing was pretty fluid from beginning to end. Content wise it was a roller coaster. Through a good portion of the beginning of this book I had a frown on my face. I also almost stopped listening to it because of the content. This is a dark dark romance, mystery, thriller, that needs a lot of trigger warnings. I'm OK with the dark romance as long as there is some consent on both parties, this book towed that line. If you liked “Butcher and Blackbird” and “Lights Out” be forewarned that this book is darker than those two. By the time I made it to the middle of the book I did not like it at all and was not going to finish it but I really wanted to know what was going to happen to the characters. By the time I finished the book I was happy with the conclusion, but it was a dark road to the end. This book deals with, stocking, murder, gruesome horror scenes, child abuse, rape, mental health issues, trauma, and a lot of not morally gray but morally black area. If you decide to read it prepare yourself and I would recommend paying as close attention to the details as you can. I figured out a good portion of the plot before it was ever revealed but I think it was because I have experienced part of the content in real life. These are my opinions and thoughts respectively.

The twist

I truly had not a clue that it was a two in one story omg this was so exciting thank you very much fir this, please keep them coming

The plot was absolutely brilliant!!

I couldn’t stop listening and having to think about all the different plots was so thrilling! I’m absolutely obsessed!
