•••••

REVIEW: SHADOW is the second instalment in DM Earl’s contemporary, adult DEVIL’S HANDMAIDENS MC dark, all-female MC series. This is SAA Zoey ‘Shadow’ Jeffries, and Navajo horse rancher Panther’s story line . SHADOW can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

MANY TRIGGERS

Told from several first person perspectives (Zoey and Panther) SHADOW focuses on the take down of a pedophile ring in Timber Ghost, Montana. Panther and his ‘brother’ Avalanche, both former US Navy SEALs, hunt those who prey on children and teens but Panther is unaware of just how close he is to discovering the truth about the woman he loves, a woman who has suffered at the hands of a psychotic monster. A call to exchange victims for money finds the Devil’s Handmaidens MC, the Intruders MC, as well as Panther and Avalanche, walking into an ambush, an ambush that pulls Zoey back into the past, where she and Panther will come face to face with our heroine’s nightmare. As Panther and Zoey find themselves unwilling victims of a serial predator, their family and friends set into motion a plan to take down of the people at the top.

The relationship between Zoey and Panther is one of mutual attraction but Zoey’s past has rendered our heroine a shell; a woman on a mission but a woman broken and destroyed by torture and abuse. Panther has loved Zoey ‘Shadow’ Jeffries for as long as he can remember but Panther must bide his time in an effort to gain Zoey’s trust, and prove she is worthy of his love. The $ex scenes are passionate but unconventional in the wake of past trauma and abuse.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and determined secondary and supporting characters many of whom we met in the previous story line. We are reintroduced to Tink and Noodles, Glory, Raven, Rebel, Peanut, Hearbreaker, Hannah, Stud and Freak, among a few; several members of the Intruders MC, including their president Tank Rivers, and his wife Diane; and the introduction of Sheriff George. The requisite evil has many faces.

SHADOW is a dark, gritty, dramatic, intense and traumatic story of terror and abuse; power and control; addiction and obsession; acceptance and love. The premise is tragic, disquieting, heart breaking and may be difficult for some readers; the romance is passionate but atypical; the characters are broken, struggling, and determined.

Heed my warning about triggers-they are unnecessarily relentless and graphic
