About this ebook

They hunt angels on the highway.



Amanda’s road trip across the USA is a reward for graduating from college—and an opportunity to record her traveler podcast. On her drive, she gets the adventure she’s seeking after nearly being knocked off the highway. There she has a chance encounter with a shadowy man wearing shades.


Danger follows. A devil named Lilith directs her motorcycle gang to crash into Amanda’s car. The stranger in shades saves her. He calls her an angel, destined for ascension to heaven. That doesn’t sound so bad, until he explains that it means she’s going to die on this trip if she stays on the road.


Well, Amanda won’t disappoint her podcast fans. And as she drives in search of adventure, the devils won’t stop pursuing her. Not before they steer her into even more danger. There’s more trouble in store for her, all set as a trap to bring the man she’s falling in love with closer to damnation.

Shades is a standalone novel in The Phantom Hearts Series. All three books were grouped into this collection with the common theme of supernatural romance and ghostly suspense. They have different characters and settings. Each novel can be enjoyed separately as a complete standalone story without reading the preceding, or subsequent, book.


Content warning: This novel contains sexual scenes, adult situations, and profanity.

Dark romance. Liked the premise, but not the main character. Amanda is a weirdly immature college student. Her road trip is a trip to death if the angels/demons pursuing her are successful. Her shade-wearing hero tries to protect as the others are intent on “ascending” her. Amanda can’t make a decision to save herself, even when the proof is obvious. She childishly alternates between idiotic laughter and “can’t make me” attitudes. I normally like this author’s books, but not this one.

I am a bit torn with this review - It was an okay read I enjoyed the concept A bit of a new twist on good vs evil and how the angel demon system works Action-packed with a lot of twists and HOLY HADES moments I enjoyed the dual sides of John I also liked how the author portrayed the progression of their relationship I had a bit of trouble with our "heroine" In the first half of the book I wanted to wipe her from the earth She was not only clueless about anything and everything that was not abou
