Blurb for IN THE SHADOW OF EVIL:
Elías Mendoza’s personal vendetta against the McKenzie
family rests on Jennie’s shoulders. As she cradles the bullet ridden body of
her ten-year old student, she knows Mendoza is responsible. Quinton’s death is
a message. Jennie’s life belongs to only Mendoza. But she has her own
message. No one else dies. Her life means nothing as long as Mendoza
is free.
Jared McNeil has spent ten years with Maryland’s Special
Crime Unit and very little rattles him. When the haunted teenager he once
tried to protect walks into his precinct now a beautiful woman, he wants
nothing more than to wrap her in his arms and never let her go. But he
soon realizes she is there only to settle her debts before she goes after his
nemesis, Mendoza. Jared’s vow to stay away from Jennie until the task force
destroys Mendoza now means nothing.
What Jared and Jennie don't understand is there are
forces at play greater than the evil shadowing them, but time is
running out. United, they can do anything. Alone, they will fail.
* * * * *
Jennifer McKenzie lives
in a world where evil shadows her every move. She’s lost everyone she ever
loved to the man who represents that evil and fears she’ll lose the man she
loves if she doesn’t stay as far away from him as possible. Left with little
time to end things, she sets out to trap and finally exact her revenge on Elías
Mendoza for those who cannot – her father, her mother, and Nick, who was like a
brother. Now others are in the path of destruction that only Mendoza can wreck
and she’s determined to stop him for good.
Jared McNeil can’t stay
away from Jennie no matter how hard he tries. He watches, he waits, he hopes
for a time when it will be safe to be close to her, all the while wondering if
his connection and affection for her goes both ways. He knows the danger that
surrounds her. He wears the scars as proof of what the mad man, Mendoza, likes
to hand out to anyone who gets between him and his Jennifer Marie. But why?
What is it about this woman grown up from a teen once in the care of Mendoza
and why won’t he let her go? All Jared knows is that he’d die before he allowed
anyone to harm Jennifer McKenzie, including his own twin brother.
IN THE SHADOW OF EVIL by
Nancy C. Weeks is a fast-paced, exciting, edge of the seat, dangerous journey that
Jennie and Jared travel to save loved ones, innocents, and each other from a
mad man. Mendoza is truly vicious and insane with an obsession for revenge
against Jennie yet the need to possess her and destroy anyone who loves her. What
Mendoza doesn’t realize is that it is love in its purest form that will be his
undoing. The love of family, the love of friends, and the love that has existed
for so many years and finally requited between Jennie and Jared, is what will
destroy Elías Mendoza.
Nancy kept me glued to
this story through the characters. Her characters are lively, personable, and
their familial relationships are honest and believable. The characters kept the
story, the edginess, and the intrigue moving forward without question or delay.
I highly recommend IN
THE SHADOW OF EVIL by Nancy C. Weeks if you love danger and true – what’s going
to happen next – suspense with your romance. Whereas the romance isn’t overly
steamy, it works well, and for those who like it mild, you’ll be certainly pleased
with the level that Nancy infuses into this amazing story, but the love is
there - in abundance.
Happy Reading Everyone!
