Review: Burned in Shadows by Tigris Eden

Royce Zarides has accepted his hand dealt by fate. He's loved and left far too many women. In the bedroom that is. But one kiss from Belinda Raine Ignis was all it took for his eyes to open. Is she really the woman meant for him and his brother Ronin? Or will history only repeat itself? That's the million dollar question he doesn't want to answer.

Ronin does not believe that Belinda is for him and his brother. But one night with her isn't enough. Even when he sees her for who and what she really is, Ronin still has a hard time expressing his emotions where Belinda is concerned, and time is running out now that she's to ascend to the status of Matria of the Phoenix Enclave.

Belinda (Bells) Ignis is good at ignoring men. She's had her share of heartache. Jilted at the altar by her first love, she's sworn all men off for good. Her mother and Matria of her community has other plans in mind, as well as the Zarides brothers. When faced with the heated glances of Ronin and the smooth tongue of Royce, what's a girl to do?

The clock is ticking down for certain members of the Shadow Unit. Draven assumed dead, leaves a sour taste in every ones mouth. Jes' new found abilities make for a great addition to the team. But when things seem to settle, they only get worse, as the team sets out to discover the origins of Mr. Black and the notorious Red Sun Organization. Secrets are uncovered and deals are made that result in a deadly blow to all involved.


Burned in Shadows is the 2nd book in the Shadow Unit series and I would have given it a higher rating if it could have been read as a stand alone book. I was pretty lost in the beginning as I had not read book 1.  So I was not familiar with the characters in the book. I did enjoy the way that Ms. Eden created the love triangle between Bells and the Zarides brothers that was some very good reading.   As far as Jes and Draven goes, I love the way Jes went about become a fighter so that she could located Draven. I recommend that you read the series in order so that you can understand all the characters. I know I will be starting the first one very soon.
