Spectacular Sequel in the Doomsday Series

Seduce Me in Shadow is a great read!! A well written sequel in the Doomsday Brethren series - it will leave you wanting book 3 and seeing what happens to the characters we are all so interested in!! This book is about Caden and Sydney and is awesome!!! I have never read books about paranormal realm before and I absolutely LOVE this series - I am hooked! I really enjoy Shayla Black's books and cannot wait for the other books in the series - I would definitely recommend :)

Seduced by Doomsday Brethren

As the second book in the Doomsday Brethren series by Shayla Black, Seduce Me In Shadow is a definite must read. The characters of Caden and Sydney are well written and easy to connect with. Caden's fears of magic and Syndey's need for parental approval strike chords within the reader. I always enjoy a series that continues to relate the lives of previous characters and Shayla Black fulfills this nicely. Other reviewers have given great synposes here, so I won't waste your time with a repeat. Simply a strong recommendation to read this book and the related novels in the series. Shayla's books are on my definite must read list.

great romantic urban fantasy

Caden MacTavish fled his English home and his magic heritage to live in Texas. However, the only reason he would return home is for his brother Lucan, who is in deep trouble. Apparently his sibling mourns the loss of his beloved Anka taken by the Brethen's enemy Mathias the wizard. Wizard chief Bram Rion directs Caden to learn anyway he can what nosy tabloid reporter Sydney Blair of Out of This World knows about the magical species. He assumes very little, but Caden is stunned when he observes Sydney receive as a "gift" the stolen Doomsday Diary that used by the wrong people like Mathias will destroy the Brethren. Caden knows he must retrieve the diary, but also believes the current owner is his probable soul mate. The latest Doomsday Brethren romantic urban fantasy (see TEMPT ME WITH DARKNESS) is a great entry due to Caden's predicament; handled deftly by Shayla Black. He understands the mission, but also wonders what will happen to any potential relationship with his mate when he steals the tome because he will do his job as the alternative is worse. Either way he feels personally doomed. With a strong female lead, a despondent brother, a bossy head wizard and a diabolical villain to round out Caden's feeling of hopelessness, fans will relish this strong thriller as the prodigal wizard returns home to face danger from without, from within and mostly from his soulmate.

DEVASTATINGLY SEXY & MAGICAL PARANORMAL ROMANCE

Devastatingly sexy magic is back big time in Book #2, SEDUCE ME IN SHADOW, of Shayla Black's Doomsday Brethren series for Pocket (Oct. 2009) In the second thrilling installment, ex-Marine, Caden MacTavish has renounced his English family's magic and is living far away in Dallas, Texas. However, Caden is forced to return to England because his older brother, Lucan is crazed with mate mourning from losing his beloved, Anka to the evil wizard, Mathias, the immortal Brethren's sworn enemy. Caden just can't lose another brother and agrees to go undercover as a photographer for paranormal tabloid, Out Of This Realm, whose latest scoop on the battle brewing between magickind could destroy the Doomsday Brethren. When Caden arrives at the newspaper's headquarters, he is instantly taken with the feisty, red-haired reporter, Sydney Blair, who has just received an unusual old book for a birthday present from a co-worker. A book Caden recognizes as the powerful Doomsday Diary that head wizard, Bram Rion has reported missing from his home and holds the key to all of magickind! At first, Caden is all business, helping Sydney with her investigative reporting even though he also desperately wants her in his bed. Sydney has never had much luck with men and doesn't think the super sexy Caden is interested in her. However, one night she decides to make a wish on the Doomsday Diary for Caden to desire her. Be careful what you wish for because after these two make passionate love, Sydney discovers Caden's real motives for helping her with her latest story and believes he is just using her. It will take some mighty powerful convincing by Caden to persuade Sydney he might have started their relationship to help his brother and the Doomsday Brethren but now he has fallen in love with her. Caden is also fighting his upcoming magical powers but when Sydney finds out, she wants him to stay in England and use them to help the Doomsday Brethren win the war against Mathias' minions, the Anarki. Shayla Black has another winner on her hands with SEDUCE ME IN SHADOWS as she seduces readers with her sexy Doomsday Brethren and the women that are destined to be their mates. Readers will be breathlessly waiting for the magic to continue in Book #3, POSSESS ME AT MIDNIGHT (Nov. 2009) featuring hardened wizard, Ice Rykard and witch princess, Sabelle Rion.

AMAZING- Shayla Black is not afraid to go against normal stereotypes making this book: grittier, rea

Seduce Me In Shadow (The Doomsday Brethren, Book 2) by Shayla Black Paranormal Romance- Sept. 29th, 2009 4 ½ stars Seduce Me In Shadow is the 2nd book in the bold new series of the Doomsday Brethren, but it can be easily read by itself. Let me start by saying this is a fantastic series that you DO NOT want to MISS!! I think the best part of this series is that it also includes several side stories that include an incredible cast that are captivating to read. I can only hope this author plans to continue her series past 3 books!! But although this is a complicated series, Seduce Me in Shadow can actually be read easily by itself. (Although I would highly recommend reading Tempt Me with Darkness first to make the experience more satisfying.) In Seduce Me In Shadows we meet Caden and Sydney. Caden has hated magic ever since he was young and in rebellion left to America. But now he's back in England on a mission to save his brother Lucan. Lucan is part of a powerful and elite group of magical men called the Doomsday Brethren with a mission to save the world. Lucan's mate is a witch who was kidnapped violently. Without her to stabilize him, Lucan is slowly going insane. Despondent and desperate Caden finally catches a break when he discovers a tabloid that is printing stories exposing the Doomsday Brethren and their magical world to humans. He wonders if the informant is a lead to Lucan's mate, Anka. Either way Caden knows he must investigate if only to quell the dangerous leak from spreading. To infiltrate the tabloid he poses as a photographer. However he doesn't count on being attracted to Sydney Blair, the reporter and main lead to Anka. Even as Caden tries to persuade Sydney to tell him her source she befuddles his mind and shatters his already shaky control. Something he doesn't need as he realizes he is undergoing the traumatic change into a wizard. (The same transformation where all wizards also undergo a frenzied sexual marathon!) Sydney Blair knows she is onto a powerful story. And the tempting and sexy Caden doesn't fool her. She knows he is after her source but she isn't about to jeopardize her informant and compromise her budding career. But magical and mysterious things occur when she is around Caden and soon she finds her fantastic story might be not only be true but that knowing the truth may lead to her death. Who are the real allies? The plot twists and turns as new and unexpected revelations unfold. Shayla Black is not afraid to go against normal stereotypes in her story line which makes it: grittier, real and very compelling. We see the darker side of our heroes and what their vulnerabilities can make them do. I also enjoyed the clever interplay between all the characters. I especially loved the section where Caden is trying to seduce Sydney without actually seducing her to find her informant. In this scene, Sydney tries to drive Caden crazy and lose his cool control. Go, Sydney! Shay
