Amazon 5 star review Shadow of Life-Nadira has been a vampire for millennia. She has seen tragedy, betrayal and heartbreak. A great loss promoted her to comment what she considered heinous acts to enact her retribution. Nadira and her father agree that humans and vampires can coexist together; however, a disagreement caused her to leave her home and remain a way for nearly a century. Called home with news that her father's health is failing, Nadira realizes that she has no choice but to embrace her destiny as the next ruler of her people. Love and hate, hope and despair, treachery and heroism abound in this novel. I look forward to reading the sequel .
