Review of Shadowlight by Lynn Viehl

With just one touch, Jessa Bellamy can see anyone’s darkest secrets, thanks to whoever tampered with her genes. What she doesn’t know is that a biotech company has discovered her talent and intends to kill her and harvest her priceless DNA...


Gaven Matthias is forced to abduct Jessa himself so he can protect her, but Jessa has a hard time believing the one man whose secrets she can’t read. As a monstrous assassin closes in and forces them to run, Jessa will have to find another way to discover if Matthias is her greatest ally—or her deadliest enemy.

My Thoughts:


• Loads of thrilling action
• a little romance
• Fast paced
• suspenseful storyline
• strong paranormal elements

I hadn't read any of Lynn Viehl's Darkyn series before and after reading this I wish I had. This book had everything I look for in a great book( see above thoughts). Although I haven't read the Darkyn series I didn't feel lost while reading this. Lynn Viehl is a very gifted storyteller who kept me captivated the entire story. I am definitely putting Dreamveil: A novel of the Kyndred on my TBR pile, it should make its way to everyone June 2010.

This book is a definite 5 stars( now pardon me while I go order a dead tree copy of this awesome book.)
