Shadowed

Brides of the Kindred, Book 8

By: Evangeline Anderson

Narrated by: William Martin

Nina is a normal Florida girl with a job and a life and a grandmother she adores. But lately, she’s been having disturbing dreams: dreams of a man with a shadowed face - a man filled with pain and need and desire only she can slake. She fears him, but at the same time, the dreams leave her breathless with need. Who is this dark stranger, and what does he want of her?

Reddix is a Touch Kindred with an inverted Touch sense - he can’t touch with his mind like others of his kind. Instead, he is doomed to endure their emotions like a physical invasion every time he’s around anyone. Desperation drives him to kidnap Nina - the girl of whom he has been dreaming. But he doesn’t take her out of love, but as a sacrifice to one who claims she can cure his affliction.

Snatching Nina from her job, Reddix takes her on a journey to the stars that ends in disaster. Now, marooned on a strange planet, they will have to learn to work together in order to survive.

Can Nina forgive Reddix’s attack and gain his trust enough to heal him...or will his fate remain forever shadowed?

Love the series but

I love the brides of the kindred series but hate the whisper thing the narrator does when portraying the characters thoughts. Hoping it won’t continue in future books because I just can’t listen to that anymore. Can you say “creepy”???

How are they supporting three species?

After listening to 40 of her books in this series I’m just wondering how they are sustaining humans, kindred and the monstrum kindred from one planet earth or are they getting a steady stream of resources from the other planets?? Although it never really says how or if they are getting a supplies from elsewhere, but I would think by now Earth would say something about the extra toll it’s taking from the resources, or is this a moot point and no one really cares? It’s just fiction anyway?

not bad...little too much near coercion

I liked it but there were too many coercion/forcing type vibes for me to really fully enjoy it. not physical force, but eh, still enough that it just rubbed me the wrong way and made me uncomfortable

Another great story

I have come to love all of Evangeline Anderson's books in this series. I really love the narrator as well. I could listen to him talk all day and night. I hope audible adds the rest of the series ASAP because I want to be able to listen to them all in order. I would definitely recommend the whole series. This story made me smile, laugh, and cry. I love happy ending and this one has it. I also love how Evangeline introduces the next story so we'll.

Amazing

I love everything about this series but the whispering!! It is so annoying especially if you have headphones on. The story was great and I love how the big kindred was healed by his mate. I hope this author writes more about all the main kindred and their growing families. I highly recommend this book, even with the annoying whispering! I mean who whispers when they think. Why would they need to whisper, who can hear what they are thinking??? 🤔😕
