Her Three Shadows

by Zia Tyree

Dr. Lydia Perks, a genetic immunologist, applies for a research grant that could flip the future of autoimmune disease treatment on its head. With a supportive group chat filled with her remote best friends and the experience of nearly a decade teaching at her alma mater, she's ready for the next step.

That is, until she witnesses a murder, gets accosted in an alleyway by a vigilante, and receives an ominous text.

Now she has the weight of two F.B.I. agents and a morally gray serial killer seeking justice and shadowing her every move.

All Lydia wants is to advance her field, catch a killer, and maybe... find love.

I was provided an ARC of this book by the publisher.

Getting all four POVs made the read more immersive. I liked that each MMC’s voice and personality was distinctive, which could be hard to do with multiple MMCs. The spice was…spicin’, but the actual mystery plot was solid and it was really well done with a viable motive and strong solution. I couldn’t wait to get to the conclusion and find out the source of the mystery! The college campus setting added an extra layer of community and made the plot that much more intense and the danger more urgent. I enjoyed this read by Zia Tyree! And I really love when the boyfriends are also boyfriends…

Ugh. I’ve never been more jealous. First we get all 4 povs! I love it! We get to know all sides of the story which makes it better. We got Lydia who’s so smart. She knows what she wants and she gets it. Even if it’s 3 men on their knees….
Even through everything she finds a way to help where ever she can. She has guts.

Then there’s Theo. He reminds me of a big teddy bear. Can be mean when needed but loves to show comfort instead. And loves to be a little submissive if wanted.

Max is mean but we love it. He is in control. He take what he wants but takes care of the people he loves.

And then Cyrus. Of course the vigilante, who’s a stalker in a possessive way, which I love. he wants her he’ll do anything for her and he protects others who don’t have a voice.

All three of together was her perfect man and she got them all. This book Will have you on a suspense waiting for the next evidence to drop. there’s action there’s romance. There’s a lot of scenes involving all the men in her and with her.

I’m so happy I got to read the ARC. This book was amazing and I found a new author to read!!

I unfortunately had a really hard time getting through this book. The FMC is crass and edgy for no reason at times. She also makes some really questionable, unbelievable decisions for someone who's supposed to be an educated college professor. She meets with the FBI agents who are both immediately in love with her, stay at her apartment, and make their move on her the next morning. Seems very quick, random, and unprofessional. Not even hours later, she lets her stalker have a turn in her office and admits to him she's "wet for all three of them." There's no buildup, everyone's just immediately horny and in love within days of meeting them. All while murders are happening across the campus. I almost DNF but I wanted to see what happens with the investigation that was sprinkled sparingly throughout this book. At least there's a happy ending.

Let me tell you, you are going to want to get your hands on this book! Her Three Shadows is by far Zia Tyree’s best work. It’s the perfect mix of mystery, banter, and steaminess🥵 As a Why Choose Dark Murder Mystery Romance?!?! YES PLEASE!!! GIVE IT TO ME 🥵🥵🥵 The FMC Dr. Lydia Perks is a kick a** genetic immunologist who takes no sh** from anyone who you will absolutely come to love. She cares about her work, her girl gang, and her boys! And let me tell you about those boys!!! Cyrus the sexy stalker man that he is, is absolutely OBSESSED WITH HER and with taking down those who hurts others. And let me say just one thing about him….HOT. And her FBI boyfriends Max and Theo who maybe each others boyfriends?! What’s not to love?!

A combination of a murder mystery and a very spicy romance with multiple partners. There are 4 POVs altogether, but you’re following the story of a FMC who witnesses a murder and then is stalked, who has both FBI agents and a vigilante trying to help her while simultaneously falling in love with her. Shockingly for my taste, I wish this had actually been a longer book with the “love” word being said later on as it did seem pretty quick. There was also a part of the plot that I felt like should have been longer, but I don’t want to give away what it was to ruin it.

I meant to just skim this book and then set it aside for later, but the second I opened it, I was hooked. I lost so much sleep reading this because I absolutely could not put it down. I don't know what crack Zia baked into this story, but it's freaking fabulous. The characters are so interesting and the plot was super twisty. I'll be talking about this book nonstop, sorry!

as someone who isn’t usually a huge dark romance girl, I flew through this. Her Three Shadows was funny, sexy, dark and I just adored it. I genuinely don’t know how I could forget Lydia and her boys. You won’t want to miss this one!!
