Shadows in the Night

The small town of Arcadia is like many others, including the secrets it holds. A murder in the forest last year rocked this little community to its knees, and Lucas and Talia seem to be at the center of suspicion, along with Talia’s father, Victor. Police are looking for Victor in connection with the killing, but have been unable to locate him..

Pregnant with Victor’s son and running his art gallery in his absence, Caroline becomes intimate with her assistant Jeremy. Then another exciting man comes into her life, prompting Victor’s return. The plot swirls even thicker as a strange and oddly mesmerizing brother and sister move into the manor house near where Talia and Lucas live. Add this to the fact that the mating season is upon the shifters in the community, making passions and tempers roil disturbingly.

Shadows in the Night layers character upon character, event upon event and leads readers a merry chase through the labyrinth of the shifter world. Audra Cole whisks readers into the thick of the action and gives them a wild ride, culminating in a surprise ending. Lucan and Talia, along with the cast of supporting characters, are well-drawn and complex; they each have their own story to tell. Ms. Cole creates a gripping tale of passion, possession, and power in Shadows in the Night.
