Adriana Paige has survived not one but two vampire attacks in less than twenty-four hours, and unless she's able to master her ability to share other people's dreams, the attacks are only going to get worse. Taggart has promised to train Adri, but he's got even more enemies than she does and there's no guarantee that he'll be able to keep her from being caught in the crossfire. More than anything else, Adri wants to talk to shape shifter Alec Graves, but he's gone strangely silent. There's no way for Adri to know if that's because he's no longer interested in her, or if it's simply because he's still on the run from his ruthless father, Kaleb. As enemies both new and old start closing in on Adri, she's starting to worry that she might be forced into choosing between Taggart, the man who saved her life, and Alec, the guy to whom she feels inexplicably connected. Publisher's Note: Dean Murray's ongoing Reflection Series has been a stunning success with hundreds of thousands of copies in circulation, and a rich, complex world where choices—right or wrong—have real, profound consequences. Unsatisfied with the restrictions imposed on him by writing inside of the conventional series structure, Dean has returned to Sanctuary and the characters so many fans have fallen in love with. Ambushed is the third of Dean's new Dark Reflections novels, an alternate timeline set in the same world and featuring many of the same characters, but with a profoundly different backstory. Dean finally answers many of the questions that his most dedicated readers have been asking themselves for years. What would have happened if Alec's father hadn't been murdered by the Coun'hij, how would Adri's life have changed if her family hadn't been shattered in a horrific accident? The answers may surprise you, but one thing is for sure; you'll see new sides of familiar faces and when all is said and done, you'll never be able to look at some of them the same. Readers new to Dean Murray's writing can start with Bound in the Dark Reflections Series or Broken in the Reflections Series.

A hidden world full of danger and love. A powerful dream walker, Adriana Paige spends her time reaching into other people's dreams and ferreting out terrible secrets the rebellion desperately needs.

Alec brings along dangerous enemies of his own, but Adri can't get him out of her mind. Gorgeous, loyal, and compassionate—Alec is worth fighting for. But with both of them on the run and hundreds of miles separating them, things started out just this side of impossible, and they are about to get much worse. A new player wants to control Adri and they're willing to go after the people she cares most about in order to force her hand.

Thrust into a supernatural world populated by shape shifters, werewolves, and even darker things, Adam no longer knows who he can trust. Alec Graves saved his life and thereby earned his service, but Adam continues to worry that Alec is no better than the things he claims to be fighting. Adam’s been assigned his next job. Alec claims that the target is a ruthless group of vampires, but Adam isn’t so sure such a thing really exists. He’s either about to gun down a bunch of innocents or walk alone into the home turf of a group of creatures that could easily rip him in half. Neither option seems particularly smart, but Adam’s not entirely sure Alec’s minions are going to let him pass on this assignment. True Believer is a 3,800 word short story.

Adam thought the job was going to be easy. Overwatch while some rich eccentric took care of a straightforward transfer of merchandise. It hardly justified the presence of a one mercenary let alone a squad backed up by two very skilled snipers. Adam had seen action on two separate continents and thought he’d seen everything. He’s about to get a glimpse into a world more dangerous than any he’d previously imagined. Author’s note: Handoff is part of the Dark Reflection’s series of stories. Dark Reflections explores an alternate timeline with many of the same characters from the Reflections books. Handoff is a 4,700 word short story. Praise for Broken and Torn: "Couldn't put it down...I planned to read for a couple of hours...I literally could not stop as planned. It was 2:00 AM the next morning when I finished the book and was able to stumble off to bed." –LCM "Torn by Dean Murray was a fantastic and refreshing twist on Shape-shifters...phenomenally executed. Those who love a good werewolf/shape-shifter story will tear Torn apart, and those who love their romance with a bite will fall in love with Torn. I'm confident that it will appeal to both boys and girls...I would absolutely recommend this." -Shana (California) "Seriously, I had to remind myself that Adriana wasn't real and I couldn't help her! I could feel her pain and confusion. What a wonderful gift author Dean Murray has for creating and penning such likable characters." -Dr. Deb (Colorado)

Adri Paige still feels like she and Alec Graves are meant to be together, but that requires she get past what happened in Minnesota. Alec's actions cost her the most important people in her life, and that's something she couldn't forget even if she wanted to. If it was just up to Adri she would stay isolated and nurse her wounds, but the Coun'hij are marshaling their forces for another blow against the Resistance, and without her help more of her friends will die. Alec Graves finally has the power to overthrow the tyrants who've been oppressing the North American shape shifters for hundreds of years, but all it will take is a single misstep to destroy everything he's been working towards—including what's left of his relationship with Adri. His father's reach extends further than anyone in the Resistance realizes and this time Kaleb is targeting Alec and Adri directly.
