Assassin. Half Demon. Half Human. Badass. No problem.
Getting slaughtered? A big f*@k of a problem.


Marcus DeMonte was born in Hell, both literally and figuratively. He worked hard to climb the ranks. He survived the pits of Hell fires as an unwanted newborn. Groomed to become one of Lucifer's highest ranked assassins and gone through the decades with one purpose - do as told.

Being brought back from the dead changed his purpose. The dark power of Murder has its own plans with his new host. Now it's... feed. Need. Feed. Need. Murder has targets to finish. They happen to be the ones Marcus loves most.

About the Author

Born and raised in Texas, Ward is a mixed bag of creativity spinning tales of paranormal, urban fantasy and even dark romance and horror; wrapped within a love story.

She’s been dared by her readers to write a few contemporary romances but even those reads have characters that are real and twisted by their creator. It did, however, spawn her romance tag line: Romance - The Ward Way.

Mother of three diverse and independent bold children, Ward prides herself for being the “Queen Niche’ Bitch” which is a handy way of saying she sucks writing to market.
But her readers don’t seem to mind.

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!!

I've read several books written by Jas T. Ward; she has done a great job at writing a good book; she is becoming one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of books her books.

The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

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.
