If you have gone through the trouble of actually combing through the Goodreads crappy search engine to find this list...then you are in the right spot.

Obviously this is NA and adult. Very few YA actually make the cut, but if you have a rec, please add it to the list.

note: for fear of my list being merged with shorter Shadow Daddy threads, I have changed it to "men".

REQUIREMENTS:
-DO NOT add books meant for kids
-DO add books with shadow men
---> What does that mean?:
> can control shadow
> shadow walkers
> powerful
> talks to shadows
> is "wrapped in darkness"
> use of...AHEM extra hands
>most are 500+ years old...don't have to be tho
> dark and brooding, mysterious, and alluring
> THESE ARE SHADOW WIELDERS. It does not mean that they are just "dark".
...you get the drill
-DO include any genre that fits these criteria
-DO add good indie books
-DO search the book you would like to add PRIOR to adding it. NO DUPLICATES!
-DO NOT self promote (unless it matches this list). I WILL REMOVE IT.

Lets lay another ground rule. As specified before, this is shadow wielders. It does not have to be the main characters, but a character must have that power. Because absolutely no one is the book community can agree on the definition of a shadow daddy, this list is the criteria in which to add these books.

Alright laddies and lads, you know what to do. Flock to the list and add away for the sake of us all. Booktok is severely lacking in recs that do not include the same ten books.
