Rebuilding a life while still missing an identity isn’t easy, but that’s what Adara’s determined to do. It’s why she’s been ignoring the overtures from an elegant vampire and the stalking by an overprotective werewolf.

However, when a mysterious presence begins to haunt her memories—and dreams—wakening a primal terror, she has no choice but to ask for help.

The problem is, unraveling her secret past seems to be triggering demon attacks. Someone doesn’t want her finding answers.

Adara might be forsaken, but she certainly hasn’t been forgotten. For he is coming after her...

Warning: This story is a dark urban fantasy rife with violence and mature subject matter. Reader discretion is advised.

This is the second book in Eve Langlais’s The Forsaken Chronicles series. I really enjoyed the first book, Dreams of Darkness. It is no secret how much of a fan of Eve’s work I am. When I saw that there was a disclaimer on the first story, I was very interested in what this new series would be, because Eve’s work is usually more light, fun and extremely funny. I really enjoyed the first book and was excited to get Awake in Shadows to see where book two takes us.

So, in the first book, we meet Adara. She has no memory and is having nightmares. Demons are coming after her. She meets Logan and Titus, the local head of the werewolf pack and vampires respectively. They are trying to help her.

Adara is in a better place than she was at the beginning, but she still isn’t in a good place. She’s getting some help from a woman’s shelter, but she’s squatting in an abandoned church basement. She’s going out and hunting demons at night. She’s also seeing a shrink.

So, we get points of view from Adara, Logan and Titus. They all have some difficulties in this story, but they do make some progress in this story. We also learn a lot about their backgrounds here. Adara even learns more about herself.

I don’t want to go into too much, so as not to spoil either this book or the previous. If you’re a fan of Eve’s, this is a fun story, but much different from anything else I’ve read from her. It is much darker. If you haven’t read Eve before, this is a fun series to start. If you like dark Urban Fantasy stories, this is a really good one. I can’t wait to see where book three takes us.

Narration:

This is only my second time listening to Amy Melissa Bentley, the first time being book one in this series. I continue to enjoy her narration of this series. This series features mostly men and she does a good job with the voices of those men. I liked her pacing and tone for each scene and there are some tone scenes in this series. I would recommend her.

Listen to a clip.

About Eve Langlais

Author: Eve Langlais

~ New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author

Hello, my name is Eve Langlais and I am an International Bestselling author who loves to write hot romance, usually with werewolves, cyborgs or aliens .

I should warn you, I have a twisted imagination and a sarcastic sense of humor something I like to let loose in my writing. While well known for my shifter stories, I am also extremely partial to aliens, the kind who like to abduct humans and then drive them insane…with pleasure. Or do you like something a little darker, more serious? Then check out my cyborgs whose battle with humanity have captivated readers worldwide.

      Just shows how good of a writer Eve is that she can do dark and funny. This is the only thing I’ve listened to Bentley narrate, but I would listen to more for sure.

  1. Fabulous review you have shared here darlin, I love this author, but I would love to see how she handles a less lighter story so definitely checking this series out.

  2. I have been meaning to include an Eve story somewhere on my reading list this year. With so many books out, and series, I have had a hard time pinpointing where to start. If this seried has more of a UF vibe then I may give this series a try and see what happens.
