Not My Shadow (Shadow SEALS #9) by Elaine Levine

ABOUT THE BOOK

A Mission Gone Awry

A wounded friend’s inexplicable death gets Navy SEAL Nash Thompson entangled in a mystery with hooks all the way up his chain of command. His enemies not only shut all doors on him, they board them up and nail them closed, leaving him out of a job, a home, a future. Even his brotherhood shuns him, proving he’s gotten too close to the criminal ring of thugs he’s been hunting. Run to ground, there’s just one path open to him—a quid pro quo deal offered by a shadow vigilante that provides him a lead in his investigation in exchange for his help in a decade-old case the FBI hasn’t been able to close—one eerily similar to his own investigation.

It’s shady as hell, but it offers him the justice he’s after.

Who Doesn’t Have Secrets?

An ex they hope to never see again…an error in judgment that haunts them…a past they can’t put behind them. Annie Bergen has eaten a cold diet of shame her entire life. Harmony Falls is where she went to hide and maybe start living again, if she can put her life back together. But the guy with the scarred hand who comes to the diner makes her realize this is where she’ll die… Until another man shows up, one with hard eyes, secrets as dark as her own, and a shadow big enough to hide hers.

MY REVIEW

Holy cow! I love a good romantic suspense and Not My Shadow is an engaging original mystery with a heartbreaking and terrifying theme. 

Nash and Annie couldn’t be more different, but they have one thing in common. Revenge. I admire Annie’s bravery to come back to the scene of the crime and face her demons and Nash’s steady presence, confidence, and maturity is refreshing.

Ms. Levine’s writing is powerful and her characters are complex and resilient.  The suspense is intense and the pain and suffering shown throughout the book is tragic and unforgettable.

I highly recommend this action-packed romantic suspense. Pick up this book, it won’t disappoint.
