This is one of my favorite UF series, ever. NB: Font enhancements within this review were inspired by one Shannon D. Everything else has become infinitely boring. All I need at this point is to know what the loophole is. I didn’t need them confirmed in such a drawn-out fashion.

The problem is that I (and most of my fellow readers) saw these patterns many books ago. We get glimpses into Georgina’s past in an effort to establish certain patterns. Shadows is a bridge book, setting us up for the series’ dénouement. Unless she comes up with some grand 11th hour twist, this is incredibly sloppy story-telling. Speaking of where I think the series is headed, Shadows is yet another case of Mead banging me over the head with clue-by-fours. You now suddenly realise that your life is going in circles? Well, yes, that’s usually what happens when you do the same shit over and over again into infinity and stupidly expect a different outcome.Īnd if this series is leading to the resolution I think it is, someone is getting a very raw deal (and it’s not Georgina). I think it happened quite some time ago, but Shadows brought the added insight that you have learned absolutely nothing in your immortal lifetime. Mostly though, I’ve lost respect for you. You’re also dim-witted and a glutton for punishment so I have to admit, I’m having a very hard time feeling sorry for you. You’re oh so torn over your special wuv and forevah connection. Not a page goes by without her lamenting the could’ve beens. In Succubus Shadows she’s perpetually depressed-consumed with mourning her lost relationship. Georgina Kincaid might be the most emotionally draining character I’ve ever encountered. You and I…I don’t understand what’s between us, but I’d rather spend my life alone than with someone who isn’t you. And I knew it wasn’t fair to lead her into a life without that connection. But in that situation again? I would never find her. Maybe you’re the only one, maybe there’s another…but regardless, I didn’t have it with Maddie.

But I knew that I had never experienced any bond like that with any other woman. It didn’t seem real that I could be together with anyone like that.Īnd when it was over, it’s like I said-I wasn’t sure what I’d just been a part of. We were so close…it defied physics and every rule of nature I knew.

In all that space and all that chaos, reaching you was like looking into myself. I just looked for you, and there you were. Then, it was the easiest thing in the world. I didn’t get what they were saying about finding you. At first, I was so confused and disoriented. 'And when I was there and Erik sent me wherever he did, I felt…well, it was beyond anything I’d experienced.
