Okay so call me slow, late, visually impaired, or whatever but I recently just discovered the Kindred series.  How is that possible?  Well I was in school and most books I read were from recommendations.  Lately I started following authors that my other book friends follow and Evangeline Anderson was one of the authors.  So there was a post about ARC for Shadowed and I JUMPED at it!! Unbeknownst to me this book was part of a series!  But that did NOT deter me from reading this book.The story of Reddix a Kindred male with RTS syndrome and an earthling woman named Nina completely sucked me in.  I literally longed for my lunch hour at work to find a little corner and read to my hearts delight for 60 minutes.  I would rather not give TOO much away and allow you to read the story yourself; however, the story of this Kindred man and earthling woman who meet in a very unconventional way (both figuratively and literally), who are drawn to each other when it seems that all odds are against them, who have a visceral need and desire for one another, and are finally pushed over the edge due to a mistake captivated me.  Call me a sucker if you will for enjoying a good happily ever after ending, but that was NOT the reason I was drawn into the story.  I was drawn into the dysfunction, the complexity of the situation, the internal fight between right and seemingly wrong, the sinister swamp witch, along with overcoming fear to move forward.I was under the impression that the book had ended in a cliffhanger but I am excited to know that there will be a ninth installment in the series.  If you are silly like me, sure you can read this book if you want, but I would strongly recommend reading the glossary of term first to better understand the Kindred terminology.  Otherwise, I plan to read book one through book seven and patiently wait for book nine.
