Book Blurb
Betrayed...A modern-day ghost story with a twist. Kidnapped on her way home from work, Maggie is thrown into a terrifying world of shadow. Narrowly escaping death, she flees her kidnappers only to come face to face with her greatest fear.
Helping a dying stranger, Maggie unleashes a terrible curse when she saves Robert. Now with only a week to break the curse, time is running out as they are locked in a deadly fight with forces that will stop at nothing to destroy them.
Intensely romantic and thrilling, Desired by Shadow portrays the struggle between redemption, retribution and the desire to find a love that transcends time.
If you enjoy persnickety gods, supernatural creatures and ghosts with the ability to manifest physical bodies, then try Desired by Shadow.

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Maggie grew up on the streets. Now she has a steady job as a waitress and a small apartment she shares with her friend Josh. It isn’t much but it’s hers and better than she has ever had. She is happy to have it until she is betrayed by someone close to her. She is kidnapped off the streets and thrown into a world of fear and violence. There is no escape so she does what she is told and survives. She is a shadow walker finder. She is one of few who can see them. When the ones that hold her captive believe she is no longer useful and decide to kill her, she is forced to put her plan of escape into action. What she doesn’t know is her escape leads her right to the Pirate Robert, the man her captives fear. She is terrified of him and ends up tied to him by her altruistic actions.
She is in danger as her captives pursue her and the legendary pirate also proves dangerous. She doesn’t know what to do or who to trust.
This is the second book in the Shadow Walker Series. I did not read the first book yet, however this book stands alone. I understood the plot and found the characters quite likable. The paranormal beings included in the story were many, including gods, demons, ghosts just to name a few. The storyline reminded me a little of Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunter series, which I also love.
Night Shadows are protecting humans while the day walkers thrive to rule the world. There are two brothers who happen to be gods fighting each other. One is the leader of the night shadows and the other the leader of the day shadows. Every night shadow is cursed with reliving their death every year. Only their soul mate can break the curse.
The story was full of action and sinister intrigue, good against evil. It was a good read. I give it a 4 out of 5.
