Title: In His Shadow
Author: Tiffany Snow
Review: Tiffany Snow takes the reader on an endless
ride with action, romance, heart felt pain and mystery- everything you have
come to know and love about Tiffany Snow is in this book. The author has the ability to take the reader
on a visual mystery never once giving away too much until the right moment and
every character has a reason for being in the book.
The
protagonist is Ivy and to call her damaged would only be one side of her many
faces. She has the ability to make you
want to hug her, scream at her and tell her to run far away from Devon her
mysterious Alpha male who has decided he is interested in her. Ivy’s past has
made her damage because she can’t seem to find who she is without seeing the
scared little girl she once was but as the book progressives she world
sacrifice her own life to protect those she cares for and loves to the point of
betrayal. Trust me you will scream at
her a few times “Don’t Go There Stupid Girl” and she does go there.
Logan is
Ivy’s best friend the only person in the book that seems to have a head on his
shoulders but at the same time he makes Ivy Co-dependent on him. Logan is the
friend that girls are always looking for but just like Devon there is more to
Logan’s feelings for Ivy than just a friendship. He will do anything for her
and Devon gets in a few jibs that make you question the past.
Devon, the
mysterious man who Ivy meets at her place of work can’t seem to stay away from
even though he puts her life in danger man times. Ivy knows that Devon is
dangerous but for some crazy reason she can’t seem to run away from him again
making herself Co-Dependent again on someone. My only complaint is I hate that
he calls her luv -it drives me batty.
The
mystery is exciting and will take the readers over the ocean and back home once
again.
I would
like to see Tiffany Snow help Ivy find her voice so she is able to stand on her
own two feet. I want to see Ivy function
without the need of a man or someone taking care of her and I hope the author
can see that as well.
The reader
will be given many sex scenes that I almost feel the book is 60-75% sex or
leading to sex and 25% mystery, giving the book an unbalanced feeling towards
the end. Tiffany Snow knows how to write sex scenes leaving the reader all hot
and bothered.
The very
end of the book will have you cringe but cheering at the same time. It’s the perfect book to cuddle up with a cup
of something warm to realize you will not put it down until you turned the very
last page

Why I Read this Title: ARC
sent by Netgallery
Synopsis: Ivy Mason is hiding—from her past, from
herself, and from anyone who could love her. The only kind of love she’s ever
known hurts, leaving scars on her body and soul. Now, her world may be boring
and predictable, but that’s exactly what she wants. Until Devon Clay walks into
her life.
A lonely man in a deadly profession, Devon works as
an agent for an underground British agency known only as the Shadow. Nothing
about him is safe or ordinary. The danger that consumes his life turns into an
addiction Ivy can’t resist...even if it proves fatal.
As Ivy’s past begins to catch up with her, she
wonders if love really is the twisted thing she’s always thought it was. Maybe
it could be more with this man, who’s shown her that she doesn’t need to
protect herself from everyone. Is what she feels for Devon worth the risk? He
may save her heart or break it, if she manages to stay alive.
