This was like the movie The Craft on crack.. Wicked and creepy it was. If you haven’t gathered this is a paranormal book. I’ve honestly only read Teresa’s military books so this was definitely different.

This is a story about twins that each have the gift of witchcraft but neither has used it for a long time due to something traumatic from their past. But when really scary things that come out of the shadows start terrorizing them and harming and killing others they have to call up their magic to not only save themselves but the two men who’ve come to care about them.

I thoroughly enjoyed this spooky story and it was nice having two main couples instead of one.

So, SO awesome. I have loved every book that I have read from Teresa Reasor, so I was sure I would love this one, but I never imagined how much! Deep Within the Shadows is an outstanding urban fantasy with strong, well developed characters and a plot that combines contemporary thriller with Wiccan magic and the evils of black magic.

Juliette and her twin sister are witches, but they abandoned their Craft after IT happened while they were in high school. Now they have no choice but to return to their Wiccan origins to protect themselves and their friends from an incomprehensible evil. Juliette and a friend were first attack by a couple of druggies, so Juliette stayed away from Miranda in case they came back. The new attacks, however, are by some kind of shadow monsters created by spells and they are attacking both twins. With no clue as to who is creating this dark magic or the reason for it, the only way the women can fight back is with the skills of their own Craft. Trying do to THAT without being caught isn't going to be easy especially with a suspicious detective keeping an eye on the case.

Teresa Reasor has done it again. Phenomenal book!! I cannot wait to see how things settle out in Superstition. I could not put this book down. It had just the right blend of something for everyone, between murder, mystery, romance, and supernatural. I can't wait to see what awaits us in the next installment from Superstition. I cannot recommend this book enough!

I just finished reading this book and have to say it is a very exciting, intense, and spellbinding story. I was more focused while reading this book than I usually am. If you get a chance you should try this book, I think you might enjoy it like I did. Teresa Reasor, I love your story telling!!!

Deep Within The Shadows

This book makes you want to look at every shadow or mist and wonder if something is there. I can't wait for book two and wonder what's going to happen next.
