Shadow City Royal Vampire: The Complete Series

Rate this book
Death waits in the shadows, stalking my every move.

Family is everything. So when my sister ran away to be with her new boyfriend, I chased after her.

A strange, crimson eyed man attacked me within minutes of my arrival, only to bring me my destiny.

Alex, an arrogant, handsome flirt, saved me. No matter how hard we try to fight our connection, we're drawn to each other.

While he reluctantly agrees to help me, I discover a terrifying new world filled with creatures that shouldn't be real; shifters; vampires; angels; witches; and so much more. I'm surrounded by supernaturals with even a silver wolf and her mate sheltering me.

Every minute I'm in Shadow Terrace becomes increasingly more dangerous, but I’ll risk everything to save my sister.

Even if it means turning my back on the man who could possibly complete my soul.

USA Today Bestselling Author

Reading has always been one of my favorite hobbies, even as a little girl. When I was a toddler, my parents would read stories to me over and over. I would hear them so often that I had the books memorized and could recite the story word by word.

My favorite genres are fantasy, paranormal, and contemporary romance. So of course that's what I'm inclined to write.

​I have a husband, two young daughters, and a mini Australian Shepherd. I've lived in Tennessee the majority of my life and love the state.

I'm extremely addicted to caffeine and enjoy drinking coffee and lattes.

I READ THIS SERIES BACK IN 2023

The second series in the Silver City Collection and just as good as the first 👌

How the author manages to link the stories and lives of her characters is absolutely sensational. These books are that good! I couldn't put them down and finished the 3 within 2 days.

5/5 ⭐️ is my rating. I absolutely loved these books.
Needless to say, if you like to escape to a supernatural world that has strong female leads and dominate, protective males, with battles, mysteries, and great friendships, then I can not recommend these books enough 📚 🙌🏻 ❤️

So good! I loved this vampire series. And I loved how all the old characters from the silver wolf series were also included.
I really liked Veronica. She was so protective of her sister. So good and kind too. She arrives at a bar outside of Shadow Terrace and sees her sister being fed on by a vampire. The vampire messed with her sisters mind so she has no idea who she is. And Ronnie sees Alex, the vampire prince. Before meeting her Alex was a spoiled, pompous jerk. Both Ronnie and Alex feel tugging towards one another. Alex needs to protect her and tries to send her home. But Ronnie is having none of that. She's very stubborn.
Read the series to find out if they end up together. I couldn't put the series down. So good.

** Audiobook **

I love the plot and the idea behind this story. I do not, however, like how this author repeats phrases and rehashes what happened previously in the books so much. If I had to hear "Oh Hell No!" or "You don't get to..." one more time I was going lose my mind! In every single book, she wasted time and went over who people were and what happened to get them where they were. It's a series, if we're reading book three or four then odd are, we've read the ones before. Why waste time going over what already happened? We know! I decided to give this series a chance after the Silver Wolf series hoping that she wouldn't do it again but nope, it continued. I will not be reading the rest of the Shadow City books for now. I need a break.

Oh wow this was so predictable and pain in the ass to read. I can't believe these books came out last year, it sounds like vampire book for beginners. The whole instant soulmate lover from chapter 1 was bad too. I mean you have a girl who went to search for her missing sister on day one and at the same time she is drooling over a stranger thinking of how he would look naked. I mean that's your start. There is not a single original thing in these books from what I managed to read before I gave up.

Wow...that was pretty awesome. Told from Veronica’s POV, the series was fast paced with great intrigue and lots of secondary characters with an epic storyline. This was my first time reading this author and I loved it. The main characters connected early on and stayed with each other through a lot of adversity. It wasn’t as spicy as I liked but the storyline made up for it and kept me interested.

Love the Shadow City series!

This is Alex and Ronnie’s story. First I love boxsets, I know the series is finished and so I do not have to wait for the next book to come out. Love the old characters and new ones. Great storytelling too. If you have not tried this author you are really missing out. So get her books and leave your reviews.

Ok i have followed Jen down the Rabbit hole into this world of Fated Mates, Friends that are definately the Family you choose, betrayal, Love and heartache.

This is Alex & Ronnie's storey but i absolutely love the fact that we have the main characters from the first series fully part of this storey as well.

This box set could be read independantly of the first series but to get the best experiance i would recommend reading the Silver Wolf series first because during that book you get to love, Sterlyn, Killion, Griffin, Rosemary & Sierra.

Alex first appeared in Silver Wolf as a minor character a member of the Council and a tenuos ally of Sterlyn's to gain debts that could be used later to the advantage of the Vampires- this book is his Soul Mate Storey.

Veronica aka Ronnie crosses paths with Alex whist trying to find her Sister who has gone missing at which point she is introduced to the supernatural world but nothing is as i seams and this storey has lots of twists some of which you can see coming and others that you just dont see.

The storey telling is amazing, world building gets better with each book but really the absolutely best thing is the character dynamics seeing friendships blossom. The banter is brilliant as you have a mix of personalities that just work.

Oh and for those of you that like smexy times there are plenty scenes to keep you happy as well!

Absolutely addicted to this series and really enjoying the amazing storey telling.

In Shadow City, Jen L. Grey throws us into a world of vampires, shifters, and nonstop action. When Ronnie chases after her runaway sister, she ends up in a dangerous supernatural world. She meets Alex, the arrogant (but irresistible) savior she can't seem to stay away from. Their chemistry? Off the charts. The danger? Oh, it's everywhere.

Expect supernatural drama, tension-packed romance, and plenty of steamy moments to keep you turning pages. With heart-pounding action and a slow-burn romance, this paranormal ride will keep you hooked!

This was just an OK listen, however my irritation with the FMC made we want to DNF at least 1,587 times. She was just too insecure (but also beyond stubborn) to be even a little bit likeable.

Example:

ALEX: I love you I love you I love you I love you. We are soulmates and I will love you forever and ever and ever.

VERONICA: (in her head because that’s where she spent 75% of the book) Oh, I feel sick. I think he’s about to break up with me.
