Story5 out of 5 stars 1
One man's prison is another man's fortress. Alan grew up believing that justice was as simple as throwing criminals in jail. He also grew up believing there was no such thing as a shadow with a mind of its own. A special request to put his photographic talents to use for an interview at the local prison reveals a dark plan brewing there. To stop it and keep his family safe, he may have to form some uneasy alliances.

The islands of Caldera are a shining jewel in a rather bleak world. A terrible calamity in the past had blanketed much of the world with a toxic "fug". Those who survived were forced to take to the mountains and the skies in wondrous airships. Life has since been a struggle, with only the most ruthless and crafty able to survive. To spare themselves the same fate, the Calderans erected a battery of guns to fend off the airships of the mainland. They isolated themselves from the madness of the world, choosing instead to focus on the pursuits of art and creativity.

Story5 out of 5 stars 16
The universe, in its farthest recesses, unbeknownst to humankind, has abetted the creation of a sinister entity, a malign force capable of rearing bedlam and instilling fear to all that has life. With the world’s impending destruction carefully insured by the extraterrestrial body that lurks in the glitches of nature, life as we know it hangs by a precariously thin thread. Meanwhile, around the globe, uneasiness continues to foster - world leaders have finally taken notice of the invisible enemy.

Reports to write, forms to fill, coffee to drink, leads to run down. Gus’s life was a tedium and boredom he’d grown comfortable with. One that he sought out after he’d come back from his tour of duty. A detective in the paranormal investigations department. A job he could work day in and day out in relative peace. One cold and forgotten cup of coffee at a time. It was an environment that made some sense to him. At least in comparison to civilian life where almost nothing did. On top of that, it gave him a chance to hide what he was from the rest of the world.

Publisher's Summary
How could a good photo-op go so wrong?
A perfect time-lapse of the lunar eclipse should have earned Alan some cash and acclaim. Instead, he came home with an invader in his dreams and a terrible feeling of being watched. Now his life is a tangle of cults, mysterious white-suited visitors, and scheming shadows.
Overnight, Alan's finely trained eye has gone from spotting photo-ops of local celebrities to unraveling a political plot that could shift the balance of light and darkness. Surviving the next few days will take teamwork, guile, and an awful lot of coffee.

Not your typical Urban Fantasy
This is my first Joseph Lallo book, and I love it!
It is not your typical Urban Fantasy, but don't let that stop you. I've listened to it several times. I'm obsessed!
No spoilers.
However, it took me a couple of chapters to get into the story. It’s a slow start, but worth a listen. Once you meet Blot, my favorite character, you’ll be hooked.
Alan is a freelance photographer and works hard to keep his bills paid. One night while photographing an eclipse, a Shade replaces his shadow. Shades are sentient shadows and they have an agenda. The Shade’s plan is fascinating and terrifying!
Alan is a goody-two-shoes and that can be a little annoying, but it is who he is. The supernatural problems he faces challenge his sense of morality. There are a lot of character and plot conflicts in book one. Now that Alan has a Shade, he is not safe. There are people who want Alan and Blot dead. The ordinary world is gone, and Alan has to live with his new reality… or die to escape it.
Alan has no magical abilities (you learn this in the opening chapters). This sets the story apart from other novels in the same sub-genre. Alan is an everyday person and suddenly has to contend with the supernatural world. He’s not a Chosen One or someone with hidden supernatural abilities. Blot has supernatural abilities, but Alan is very much so a regular human. I think that makes the challenges Alan faces harder, because he is relying on his human skills, ingenuity, and courage. Blot is with him, but she can’t do everything. They have to learn to work together if they want to live. Will they figure it out in time to save their lives?
If you are looking for a new take on an Urban Fantasy, try this series.
