Now twenty years after the crimes that fractured both of their hearts, Black Horse is getting out of jail and he’s coming after the girl who testified against him: Averi, herself. Colt wants to hide her, but Averi refuses to run.

“I implore you to check this series out. You will NOT regret it – Addison Kline is one of the best.” – Jen

Everybody in Elkhart has a secret and if they say they don’t, they’re lying. Three years have passed since Tristan Morrow returned home after her harrowing kidnapping ordeal with her former English teacher, Bernard Kendricks. A sense of peace has taken over the Morrow Manor, but it will not last forever. A killer of women is on the loose in Elkhart and has already claimed the lives of two young women. Will DiNolfo and her officers catch the killer before a third victim is claimed? When their three main suspects turn out to be innocent, the Elkhart Police Department is at a loss until a citizen comes forward with some crucial information: Tristan Morrow knows who is responsible for the murders. But does the information come too late? And how does this relate to the murder case of Tiffany O’Mara? Tristan soon learns that not even the dead can keep their secrets buried forever.

Holy Mystery! I am astonished at Addison”s ability to cross genres so eloquently. I am an avid romance reader – I have never had an interest in any other type of book. Until this series. This is not a romance book. This is an adventure into the amazing world of Thrilling Mystery. You may ask why I decided to read and review this book and it’s predecessor Shadow Dancer… Well, it’s because I love Addison’s work. All of it. She is an amazing author and her genius over captivating her audience is sublime.

This book takes place 3 years after Shadow Dancer. Giving us a deeper look into the sadistic mind of Bernard kendricks. The asshole sociopath in Shadow Dancer. It shows us how his corruption of a young girl had ill effects on her psyche.

Angela O’Mara’s character was incredible! Thats all I can say without spoiling anything… lol. Tristan Morrow has got to be the best young heroine in any book I have read in a long time. She has a good head on her shoulders despite the turmoil she suffered in the last book. She takes everything a day a time and doesn’t let the past hold her back. The Morrow Family is one to aspire to. Their values and strength and support they carry for those they love is admirable. The changes in their lives and everything they have overcome, it gives you a sense of knowing… a sense that everything works out even after the bleakest of times.

I implore you to check this series out. You will NOT regret it – Addison Kline is one of the best. I am so glad I gave this series attention…. I am also glad that Addison writes and releases quickly, I hate waiting too long for the next book in a series. I wonder if she has more in store from the town of Elkhart

“You will experience very raw – very real emotions throughout this book. Love, hate, fear, loathing – confusion… Let it happen. Embrace this book with an open mind and an open heart. You will not regret it.” ~Jennifer

Some secrets should just stay buried. On the day Tristan Morrow is born her mother goes missing, prompting an investigation that produces no solid leads. Fast forward 15 years, and the Morrow family still doesn’t know the truth behind Catherine Morrow’s disappearance.

When 15 year old Tristan is required to write a biography on her mother for a school assignment, she learns the truth about her mother’s fate, and is hell-bent upon finding out who was responsible for her death. But when Tristan herself goes missing too, everyone is suspect, even her own father and boyfriend.

Set in rural Fox Hollow, PA, Shadow Dancer unravels a web of lies, deceit, madness and corruption. Can investigators crack the case before Tristan meets the same fate as her mother? And who is responsible for the disappearances?

There is much uncertainty as the investigation unfolds, but there is one thing that is certain: Tristan Morrow holds the master key to the entire riddle.

Secrets for the Raven…

Hello y’all, I am Jennifer and I was given the great pleasure of guest reviewing Shadow Dancer by Addison Kline. I am new to the whole blog review thing so bear with me please. I hope to not chop this up too bad.

Shadow Dancer centers around the Morrow family and secrets they harbor out of love and protection. Not all secrets are theirs to share, however. Sometimes the most dangerous secrets lie too close for comfort and you never see them coming. Jack Morrow has kept his secret for so long he fears it’s revelation could have a detrimental outcome. While trying to protect the ones he holds closest to him, his world comes crashing down. This time will differ from the last though. He will not let his family suffer another devastation. He will do anything to protect them. Including spill blood.

Mr. Bernard Kendricks was the strictest English Comp. teacher Steeplechase Academy had. He was stern and proud and just downright condescending. He’s not above embarrassing his students or even his colleagues for that matter. Little does anyone know what secrets he holds close to him. He has only ever really loved one woman, holding on to that love proved to be quite difficult however. He will have love like that again. Of that, he is certain. Can he keep his secrets long enough to achieve his hearts desire? Will he finally be able to have his one true love?

Tristan Morrow is your typical 15 year old girl. The baby of 5 and the only girl – she is definitely protected. Sometimes – overwhelmingly so. She has known Cole her entire life. They have crushed on each other in secret for ages. Fearing a negative reaction from her family, she and Cole decide to keep their new relationship under wraps. Stealing away when they can, and flashing nervous flirty smiles when no one is looking. They are the poster kids for new love blooming. Hopefully it’s a love story that lasts the tests of time. Especially given what they’re about to endure.

Catherine Westfeld Morrow loved her children and husband more than she loved herself. Some would even say she would give her life to protect them. Who would take such a gift? Who would strip a mother from her children and a lifetime of happiness? Surely no one that loved her would do such a horrific thing. Would they?

When things are not always as they seem who do you turn to for answers? Do you trust those closest to you even if they hold secrets to the past that might hurt? Will it be a bearable hurt? Or will be a hurt that breaks you?

* Mental stability is a fragile thing. Anxiety and depression are very real, very trying disorders. Understanding you are not alone is hard to do when your world looks bleak and cloaked in darkness. Overcoming a mental illness takes forgiveness, time and support from those you hold dearest to your heart. It may only be as controlled as you let it be – it is not something that goes away over night… Or ever, for that matter. I mean really, who decides your better? Do you just get better? Is there a cure? Or is there just acceptance and guidance? And what about love? Can you have that too? *

This book was not what I expected it to be. Knowing that going in, I may not have given it the chance it deserved. I am so glad I did! You will experience very raw – very real emotions throughout this book. Love, hate, fear, loathing – confusion… Let it happen. Embrace this book with an open mind and an open heart. You will not regret it.

If you take one thing from this review take this: Things are not always as they seem from the outside looking in. Love can only happen from within – it is not a forceable emotion. With time and faith and most importantly, support – making it through the impassable trenches of your own mind will be your greatest accomplishment. Don’t let your mind control you or your dreams. Together we can overcome.

** Give your secrets to the Raven – she will keep them safe.**

Will this be your first Addison Kline book?

I was lucky enough to work with the amazing Addison Kline for our first Facebook Takeover the other night and I have to say that I learned a ton! I never knew that there were so many things to keep in mind as bloggers and authors when it comes to something as simple as Facebook!

These are my notes to an author interested in doing a Facebook Takeover:

~It lasts an hour (This will keep things manageable for both authors and bloggers without interfering with other posts during the day.)

~The author will have to be made an Editor of the Facebook Page. Simply “liking” or “following” the page will not allow the access needed to schedule posts, images and videos. Also, with the new FB pages, posts by others don’t always show up on the main feed which would cut back on the amount of people that see the posts. (Not an admin-admin gives more rights than an author needs, the last thing anyone wants is someone getting blamed for something going wrong on someone else’s blog/fb page.) BLOGGERS, DON’T FORGET TO DELETE THE AUTHOR’S EDITOR STATUS AFTER THE TAKEOVER!

~Make sure there is a banner or some image that can be shared on the blog and social media (The author will want to share with their readers as well so that they can stop in.) This will help spread the word about the takeover, both FB pages involved in the takeover (the authors and the blogs), as well as get some recognition for the book cover and the author’s name, always put those on the banner if possible. Both the author and the blog should share the banner image to their social media a few times before the start of the takeover.

~Giveaways(typically these are provided by the author): Plan to have one or two giveaways during the hour. Offering up a $5 GiftCard or an e-book/ARC can really have an impact on the amount of interaction during the takeover. The author could even do something small, cheap and silly that relates to your book: Do the characters have a certain tattoo? Send out temporary tattoos to a few people. Did a character leave cute love notes using post-its? Send a lucky person a stack of post-its and one or two with notes from you or the character. You get my drift, I’m sure. (If I am doing a comment giveaway, I typically choose a winner using random.org to avoid any issues.)

~Trailers: If there is a book trailer it should be shared during the takeover. People really love these videos and it seems to help the sale of books from what I can see. (I am actually working on a book trailer for a friend now! If you need help with this just let me know and I will see what I can do.)

~Teasers: The author needs a large variety (I would say at least 4 or 5) of teaser images with quotes to share during the takeover. Make sure that each teaser post encourages people to like/comment/share the image, this can even be one of the giveaways, it’s easy to see in the settings who shares the images. As often as possible, put a link to the Amazon/B&N page for the book as part of the post, hopefully this will lead to a few purchases for the author!

~If the author has books coming out soon, it is important to share the cover, an excerpt (anything really) to help get word out about them.

~If the author is up to it and enjoys that sort of thing, meme challenges (have ppl create or find memes that fit your book) or games like best quote etc. (If you know you are going to have some of your current readers involved in it this is always fun.) are a lot of fun.

~The biggest thing to remember is this: Facebook takeovers are mainly handled by the author, however, it is important that the bloggers show up and participate as much as possible. The more comments and shares the better! While an author may be popular, it is still the bloggers page and it is imperative that they are seen monitoring things as well as helping out in any way possible to keep things moving.

~After our takeover I found that it may have been easier and “neater” for our FB page had I created a folder for the author to upload their images to. However, it’s not a big deal to go in and move them later on.

~It may be a good idea for the author to share any discussions, images, links, etc. that are going to be posted to the blogs FB page through email BEFORE the takeover. This way the bloggers have a good idea what to expect and know that nothing that isn’t appropriate for the blog is shared.

Okay..so I know that ended up being a TON of info…sowwie…I hope I didn’t overwhelm you! If this doesn’t help please let me know and I will see if I can come up with something a little less…long lol

Did I forget anything? If you have any thoughts or tips on how to make a Facebook takeover successful please comment and let us know!
