REVIEW: Shadowmaster by Susan Krinard

Posted April 2nd, 2014 by in Blog, Harlequin Mills&Boon, HJ Recommends, Nocturne, Review / 0 comments

In Shadowmaster (Nightsiders #3) by Susan Krinard, Phoenix Stryker is tasked with infiltrating a rouge secret society. She must fret out assassin, Drakon, before SMhe succeeds in destroying the fragile truce.

On the brink of war, Phoenix is willing to anything/everything to protect the city dwellers. However, she quickly discovers her loyalties divided between the Enclave and the irresistible attractive assassin she is targeting.

As the third installment, the reader is swept into an on-going story. It was initially disorientating, but I quickly found that the story was mostly stand-alone. The author intertwines several things together including deception, betrayal, and suspense to form and incredible overall story.

It would have been 5-stars except that it lacked the spicy elements that I have come to expect from the Nocturne line.
