Publisher's summary

How does the dark half of a split personality win the girl? It's Madness.

You don't know I exist. Don't feel bad. No one knows I exist. Except him, and he's an asshole. Sure, everyone thinks he's a hero, but I know better. Because I live in his head. 

You see, he's not the hero everyone thinks he is. Sure, he'll own up to being a gun slinger in the Old West. No problem ticking off the big bounty on his head and how many bodies hit the dirt at the end of his smoking gun. Will he tell it's because of me he didn't die? No. Because I'm the flaw he doesn't want to show. The dark, killer side. The one that keeps us both alive. 

And that's how it would have always been. Until her....

I swear she knew I was there. And the bastard just had to break her heart. For that, he's going to pay. Even if it means we're both going to die.

Good narration. Good story

The first couple of chapters I wasn't sure I would like this book. But it really grew on me and the more I listened to it the more I enjoyed the storyline. I hope there is more to come with Reno.

This was different

To be inside someones head and only be in control for part of the time..... Wouldn't that drive anyone insane? How did he not figure out the trick to staying out longer sooner? I would have wanted to die as well. I think the trick would have been to learn how to work together from the beginning but that doesn't happen. Then of course, they each get their own bodies. Sooooooo looking forward to book two.

I think this narrator did an amazing job being able to help the listener differentiate the two characters from each other even though they were the same person.... Excellent job.

Loved it!

What a surprise this little gem was, I really enjoyed this story defiantly hope the rest of the books become audio this sounds like a good series.

mind games

I was ambivalent about the separation and I rooted for the underdog and silent entity. They had mt empathy more than the one seen. This was such a mind game and most of the time I felt so confused. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did an excellent job bringing the characters and story to life.

Candyman

Interesting book. Very cool to see the thought process going on with Rio. The reader's voice is very easy to listen to.

This is a short story that is great to introduce 'The Shadow-Keeper' series

We learn the Sundown's side, he was the bad side or split personality of Jess that had helped him from when his mum died he was the voice in his head that kept him from going mad,
Jess and Sundown fell out and Sundown refused to talk to Jess or help him, this book explains why and what happened in the run up to Sundown getting his own life, name of Reno, and body.

Amazing
