Book Review: The Shadow Collector (Shadow Valley #1) by Bonnie Randall

 

Blurb

HAVEN'T YOU WONDERED?

Undercover, on skid row . . .

Owen Brophy, summoned by a street psychic, is alarmed when she knows his real name—and unnerved by her obstinate question: "Who did you abandon back home?" Home. The Okanagan Valley. Owen hasn't been there since he was a kid. Hasn't seen his oldest friend—a guy he once loved like a brother, a man he's long been estranged from—in years. Yet the psychic forecasts an ominous collision: past will crash against present when his old buddy exhumes a long-concealed secret—a secret more than one person has died for. A secret someone will kill to keep hidden.

OR MAYBE YOU KNOW

Unannounced, at her door . . .

A grisly package arrives for Natalya Nikoslav, its cryptic verse clearly written by someone who knows her history something she, abandoned as a toddler, has never been able to unearth on her own. Shaken, Natalya scours her psychic shadows to see where this package has come from. She's shocked by what she sees: her tombstone. Its death date waxes and wanes alongside an enigmatic spectre, a man she almost—almost!—recognizes, begging for her help. A retrocognitive, Natalya knows her psychic shadows are limited to the past . . . yet this man is unmistakably calling out from her future. And he's frantic—they'll both die if she doesn't come home.

But . . . where is home? Who is he?

And when she finds him will she know . . .

WHERE DID ALL THE CHILDREN GO?

My Review - 4 1/2 of 5 stars - 

4 1/2 stars. This book was hard for me to rate. There were points when I said this is four stars. Then there were parts that I did not want to stop reading. I enjoyed the characters. Natalya was stronger than she seemed. I loved how she had support even when she didn't think so. Her past was shrouded in secrets and, as memories returned and secrets revealed, she continued to try to help Rob. Owen was also trying to help Rob and distrusted Natalya at first. There were plenty of surprises along the way, and I enjoyed the journey. A very satisfactory ending as well.

I received a copy of this story through Goddess Fish Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
