Starting on that very day, she wrote what would become Shadow’s Edge in a little over four months and submitted it to several literary agents. Nothing happened. Thinking that was the end of that but by no means willing to give up on her dreams of being published, she began work on a second manuscript.
Then, during a trip to Italy in honor of their 10th wedding anniversary and the honeymoon she and her husband never took, she received an email that would change her life. It was from an agent, Marlene Stringer of Stringer Literary, and it contained the three words every aspiring author longs to hear: “I loved it.”
Marlene sold the manuscript, initially titled The Skinwalker’s Daughter, to Montlake Romance who published it six months later. Hitting the #1 Amazon bestseller lists for Fantasy Romance in both the US and the UK within weeks of publication, Shadow’s Edge is the culmination of the refusal to give up (some would say grow up) with the staunch belief that all good things come to those who wait…and sometimes to those who wait longest.

*eARC received via the Publisher from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review
J.T never fails to captivate with her Night Prowler novels, and from the very start of this installment she had me saying 'wow' once again.
Edge of Darkness is a delightful mix of intrigue, action, drama and romance with a decidedly Dan Brown antagonist feel, it was a wonderful read.
Edge of Darkness's hero is Leander's younger brother, Christian, who has willingly offered himself up for a suicide missing to keep the Clan's secrets and defeat their nemesis.
Our heroine is just like us... a plainly beautiful woman who doesn't believe she's pretty and hides behind baggy clothes and books.
Their interactions are not at all easy and fluffy. There is tension galore, and the secrets that each of them are keeping just adds to the intrigue.
This installment of the series focuses a lot more on the Ikati in their human lives, and therefore is a bit different than the other books thus far. It's a little slower, but steady in its grip.
Fans of both J.T Geissinger and Dan Brown will certainly see some influence in this book with both the very beginning and the other villain that the couple must overcome. I've read some low rated reviews because of this, but there are very few books out there that don't have similarities, and if you like both of these authors as much as I do, why not just enjoy the ride!?
I gave the book an easy 4 skulls and still highly recommend this series!
