The Shadow Collective: Badlands Rising

Rate this book
When the witch who planned to seize global power dies… the plan doesn’t.

Catherine Townsend... Former Hunter, current vampire. And deadly efficient operative for the Shadow Collective - an organization sworn to maintain balance between humans and the supernatural… and between the supernatural species themselves.

While taking a long overdue vacation to South Dakota for rock climbing with her vampire mate, Alexandru Draculesti, she’s blindsided when a body comes hurling over a cliff straight toward them. When the local police call it a suicide, Kate is determined to uncover the truth - only to uncover a dead witch’s plan to take over the world.

Only her death didn’t stop it.

The witch’s world-domination plot is already in motion… and no one knows the woman behind it is gone.

Except Kate - and the woman now wearing her face.

To shut this down, Kate must work with the one person she put there herself - Parody Hawthorne, the dead witch’s estranged daughter.

And when someone inside the Shadow Collective tries to silence her, Kate realizes the betrayal runs closer than she ever imagined.

But neither of them realizes how deep this conspiracy goes… or how unstoppable it has already become.

You’ll get some twists to hold you…

It’s hard to find anew shifter plot I haven’t read. Have all new story concepts of shifters finding love been done? This book did have some original twists which made it intriguing and kept my interest. The author creates some beautiful characters with a devastating, passionate back story. This however then follows a pretty solid pattern of shifter story plots which unfortunately, I as the reader have read hundreds of times.
