Thank you Regan Black for another formidable book in the Justice Series, Shadows to Light blew me away. I have been a fan of your writing for quite a few years now, as you can see by my reviews of this series. You never cease to keep me holding my breath to see what new nuances you can tempt me with that bring your books to a new level.Where do I start? Again this book starts in the future the year 2094. Mira is a healer, daughter of a famous healer in her world, doctor in ours. It is wartime, and Mira tries to keep her powers secret by being a nurse for our troops. She is a "shadow" not really making friends, not even conversing with patients, for fear she will be found out. She meets a soldier, they share a kiss...Flash to the year 2096 and Mira is before a tribunal, just barely escaping with some help from her mother, to be taken to a place of safety. It is here Brent Jameson, an ex Special Forces soldier, is on a surveillance job outside a building on a college campus in Chicago, looking for something that will tie it into a case they are working on. He sees Mira and does not believe his eyes... It was all about "that Kiss".Regan Black has assembled the whole gang, Slick Mickey and all, to help Mira and Brent solve the mystery. There are kidnappings, murders, plotting, and a dynamite ride for all the wonderful characters we have come to love during the series. It was great seeing them and hearing from them, like seeing old friends.Mira has battles to overcome both physically and emotionally. The time shared with Jameson is both sizzling and tender. Jameson is a war tired young man, indisputably tall and  handsome, who has to decide what is more important to him, and that is hard when they both cannot keep their hands off each other.The search for her father and the thought of him being a traitor to the country and himself plays heavily on Mira's decisions, and her ability to trust these new people who want to be called friends. It is a strange feeling to her, having never had any.Ms. Black's stories are fast moving, page turners, filled with concise descriptions and lots of action when needed, and lots of banter between the characters. After the last book I read, I thought Slick Mickey's story was the greatest book in the series that I read, but again Ms. Black has pulled another rabbit out of her hat. They keep getting better and better. Mira who when we began this book believed by her own feelings that she was a mouse. By the end we saw the Mouse Roar!!!Okay Regan, must say I am addicted to Chicago 2090 something. Your books are a rare treat for someone that reads many books a week for reviews and for pleasure... Your books are pure pleasure. Cannot wait to see what you have up your sleeve for us next.Review by Gloria LakritzReview Chair and Sr Reviewer for the Paranormal Romance Guild Review Team
