"The ending is a real shocker; get ready to be blown away!"
Lady Katherine Fawkner has to carry on the family business to get her father out of debt with goons, but this is one time that a family business can put Lady Katherine out of commission, literally. Lady Katherine is the new "Shadow" in town; she's a cat burglar! She attends a society ball to find and research her next heist, but she finds a man instead. There's only one thing that Lady Katherine can find wrong with him, he's a cop! And if that isn't enough she now has competition in the cat burglar field. Someone is beating her to the heist!
The Shadow had some good intrigue, but occasionally the story got bogged down in too much detail. I had to go back and reread some of the story to keep up with the plot. I did like the intrigue and how the author kept you guessing about Lady Katherine's competition. It was fun to speculate whom in the book you think it is. The ending is a real shocker; get ready to be blown away! Overall, I recommend you give this book a try.

Book Description for The Shadow
Occupations often run in families, and mine is no exception. I?m Lady Katherine Fawkner, cat burglar in training. Under duress, I might add, but someone has to keep the family safe. Father?s gambling has escalated into debts, and with that debt comes outrageous interest charges and goons threatening bodily harm if overdue money isn?t paid. So, here I am, attending a society ball, researching the rich and their jewels for my first heist.
Wouldn?t you know it? I?m looking for rubies and find a man instead. Not just any man, but a cop.
A cat burglar and a cop? No future there. But I can?t stop thinking about Inspector Kahu Williams.
To make matters worse, now there?s been a murder.
And if that?s not bad enough, my past has returned to haunt me. I?ve stumbled across a photo of a child who is the mirror image of my precious daughter. In my hands I hold a clue to reveal the identity of my child?s father ? the man who drugged me six years ago. So I?m hot on the trail of my revenge for date rape while Inspector Williams searches for a killer. But we keep running into each other and ? no, this is not going to work ...
