A Shaedes of Gray Novella 0.5

Darian Charles wasn't always a member of the supernatural community. Nor was she always an assassin.

As a young woman growing up amidst the Suffrage movement, Darian is dazzled by the prospect of living an independent life. When her aristocratic father marries her off to San Francisco's most eligible bachelor, Henry Charles, she sees the possibility for love and adventure.

But her new life is far from perfect. For years, Darian suffers at the hand of her cruel husband, always yearning for an escape: one that she knows to be all but impossible.

When an enigmatic stranger comes to call, Darian finds herself charmed by his seductive smile and the inexplicable connection she feels. And when he makes her a thrilling—yet frightening—proposition, Darian must decide if she’s strong enough to answer the shadow’s call…

Reviews for When Shadows Call

[Debra · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Skip this one if you're reading the series. It seems to repeat thing already in the previous books (in more detail) but it's disjointed. What did the publisher beg for anything?

[Caroline Foster · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Quite repetitive to content in previous books. Back story of how Darrian became a shadow . Many of the sentences are just copied from past books. That being said, it does fill in the gaps of her past - just too long and keeps jumping between time.
