Publisher's summary

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.

Bringing the story to life!

Wow! I read the book, but when I saw that Audible had released the audio version I knew I had to have it! First, the plot is amazing, and the smut is also amazing! However, listening to the book, is a very different experience. The narrators made you feel as though you were there! I was transported to a different place where a hot man was ravishing me! This is my first audiobook, and I used my husband’s account, as I was unsure if I wanted the audiobook since I already had the ebook. But it was an amazing experience, and I am so happy I did get it!!! Thank you so much for narrating and making this book come to life! -Amanda

Death!!!

This book was a wild ride, and I loved every single moment of it. The sweetness of Sebastian and the darkness of death. This book gives you the best of both romance worlds. Definitely worth the credit.

An Almost Perfect Dark Romance

If you have any sort of trigger please check for trigger warning before listening to this. There is a lot going on.

I love love loved this book. So many twists, turns and OMG moments. You can't help but fall for all these flawed characters. Each with their secrets and own issues but together are perfect.

The narrators were simply amazing, I think I have a new favorite in John Hartley. They made this story very interesting to listen to and drew you right into the story.

I loved the book. So happy that I can now listen to it

When I say that I absolutely love this book. I mean it with my whole soul. And now it’s on audio. My world of Death is complete. Narrators were perfect. The Aussie accent was spot on. Thoroughly enjoyed this.

Wow, So Good!!

Such an intricate and interesting, dark story. It is that and at the same time sweet and soft. I love the fact it's not Mafia too.
Definitely not for the weak of stomach. But if you like it dark, go for it.

Great story!! but...

I read and saw tons of reviews of people saying this book had twists and turns etc. but I dont think it did. I think it's an easy guess and once it's out, the last hour of the book was hard to get through. With that being said.. this was definitely a sexy read and worth it!
