The Grid #6
Murder
Welcome Back to the World of The Grid.
Where heroic bad-asses looking for a second chance fight a war among us in the shadows.
Marcus De Monte was born in Hell, both literally and figuratively. Birthed by a demon, sired by a human and considered a failure from the moment he took his first breath. Nothing more than fuel for the Hell fires. Allowed to live by Lucifer himself, he became determined to reach the top of the food chain by becoming an elite assassin in the Dark Lord’s army.
After reaching that bloody, hard-won goal he chose a path not ordered by Hell—one leading to love. But that love became doomed the moment it bloomed. Fueled by rage of its loss, his payment was the shameful duty of bodyguard to the Keeper of Madness – Reno Sundown and his family. But denied destiny has fatal consequences. The one chance Marcus had of being reunited with the one he loved vaporized.
But destiny has a way of masking itself until its time, and Marcus is no exception. Will the newest Keeper find his heartbeat, even when it beats quietly from the past?
Or has Hell played the ultimate trick on Marcus… and the past to burn love to ash once more?
And the dark power of Murder has a new host, and it has its own scores to settle.

What can I say is Jas never disappoints!! Murder was amazing . You have everything in this book and if you love dark reads with a twist then you need to read this book. And You just want Marcus to feel his heartbeat sooo bad. As bad as he is a badass you still want to wrap him up and keep him safe. I want this series to keep going but I know soon it will end and I’ma cry like a baby. Must read.

Marcus’s story is the latest installment the Shadow-keepers world. This story is dark and twisted and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Marcus is the latest Keeper on the Grid, they are warriors battling in the shadows. This book is emotionally charged and had me crying one minute and laughing out loud the next. Seriously it was so many twists and turns I thought I was getting whiplash. This book was my favorite in the series so far and I can’t wait for the series to continue!!

The addition of Murder to Marcus in the Shadow Keeper world was such an interesting decision. This character along with all the others are so well described in character and action that they are real. Great story addition to the series with lots of twists and surprises. Can’t wait to read the next book!

Murder is here! Marcus's story The latest instalment in The Shadow Keepers Series. In this book we get to meet Marcus DeMonte, the newest Keeper on the Grid. As soon as I started reading, I couldn't put it down, it drew me straight back into the world of the Grid, bad-ass warriors who fight a war in the shadows.
Describing this as an emotional roller coaster doesn't even describe the journey that Jas takes you on in this book. The Feels!
Every chapter had me on the edge of my seat, preparing myself for what could happen next. It had me in tears, it made me laugh and has moments that I won't forget. I absolutely love this book, this series and the characters that Jas has created. I can't wait to read this book again!

As usual Jas T Ward outdone herself! Romance the Ward way is an emotional trip. You meet characters, fall in love with them, you enjoy their happiness but in a corner of your mind you something bad will happen. You know death is coming. It's amazing. Well written and I can't wait for the next installment. I highly recommend all the series.
