In Beyond the Shadows, I was introduced to Elice and soon Cabot, two individuals dealing with losses in their lives. I was all in for the thriller element of the book, but the beginning of the book started off slow and didn’t keep my attention.
As I continued the story, it seemed Elice and Cabot’s relationship progressed pretty fast and then I hit the twists. I soon found out, there was someone who didn’t want these two characters together. The story picked up but I still had a hard time connecting with the characters.
I believe the author created a intriguing plot, descriptions I could imagine, but the characters were not ones I could invest in. Overall it was a decent book and I will read more of this author’s work.

Once upon a time, Loree (literally) sang for her supper, performing alone
and “opening” for the likes of Tom Jones, Dottie West, The
Gatlin Brothers, and more. Though she refuses to share the actual
year when she traded her Yamaha 6-string for a wedding ring, she IS
willing to admit that, every now and then, she blows the dust off her
six-string to croon a tune or two. But mostly, she just writes (and
writes).

Loree and her husband split their time between a home in the Baltimore
suburbs and a cabin in the Allegheny Mountains, where she continues
to hone her “identify the critter tracks” skills. Her
favorite pastime? Spending long, leisurely hours with her
grandchildren…all seven of them!
