I am a longtime fan of this author's work and would venture to say I have read just about everything she has published.  When the Descent series recently came to an end I had that sad feeling knowing I was going to miss the characters that I have come to know and love.  Well surprise along comes Sacrificed in Shadow a new series that is a spin off from the prior series and features characters from The Descent Series, Seasons of the Moon series, and The Cain Chronicles.  Happy girl am I, Elise is back!  It was quite fun seeing the interaction between the characters from both series come together for this book and having prior exposure to the characters made this a very satisfying read indeed.  There is an underlying mystery that kept me guessing throughout the story and the excellent writing and characterization I have come to expect continues without the story becoming tired or overdone, but rather remains fresh and exciting.  I must admit to reading this in almost one sitting and I enjoyed every moment.  There is tons of action and twisty plots with story ending well and leaving me feeling satisfied.  I am really pleased that there is more to come and am looking forward to the next adventure.  While I don't think it is required that you read the prior works before reading Sacrificed in Shadow, I will say this is a much more satisfying read for having done so and would recommend it; they are generally very affordable and from time to time offered for free on Amazon.  I received this book from the author with a request for my honest review without any compensation whatsoever, other than the joy of reading a new book.
