Blog Tour Review & Giveaway: Shadows Strike by Dianne Duvall

It’s been some time since I’ve read an Immortal Guardians book, but I have to say it was very easy to step back into the IG world and fun to see what had transpired since I last picked up a book.

In this installment, the focus is on guardian Ethan as he finds himself enamored with a gifted mortal woman as certain members of the “Others” continue their bid to cause Armageddon, using this woman to infiltrate the Immortal Guardians.

I really enjoyed the relationship between Ethan and Heather.  I loved how they met, when she saved him during a fight with some vampires.  I loved how understanding he was, when Heather explained her gift and why she was so comfortable with him.  And I loved how he kept his distance, despite not wanting to, because he didn’t want to bring her into his world.  He could go alpha male when he needed to,  but at his core, Ethan was a squishy centered male who wanted nothing more than a woman to love him for exactly who he was.  And Heather never wavered in her belief that Ethan was a good man, despite some of the horrific things she saw and fully understanding just what Ethan did.  They were the perfect mix together, making me desperate to see them get their HEA.

As with the other books in this series, the romance isn’t the only thing happening in the book.  The continued storyline with the Immortal Guardians trying their hardest to ensure mankind’s survival had me at the edge of my seat.  I love the suspenseful mix with Seth, the other guardians and the human military as they combined to determine what was attacking military instillations.  For this particular story, the military tied in perfectly with Heather, since her father happened to be a high ranking general who needed to figure out what was happening to his men.  The entire storyline had me on edge, as I wondered if Heather, her father or anyone one of the guardians were going to get hurt as they tried to determine what was happening.

This was a perfect weekend read and jump-started my need to get back into more paranormal romances.  Dianne Duvall always manages to have the perfect mix of paranormal and romance in her books, with SHADOW STRIKE continuing that tradition.  If you haven’t read the other books in this series, I do recommend jumping into it.
