Synopsis

Among the Shadowdwellers, Trace holds power that some are willing to kill for. Without a stranger's aid, one rival would surely have succeeded, but Trace's brush with death is less surprising to him than his reaction to the beautiful, fragile human who heals him. By rights, Trace should hardly even register Ashla's existence within the realm of Shadowscape, but instead he is drawn to everything about her—her innocence, her courage, and her lush, sensual heat.

After a terrifying car crash, Ashla Townsend wakes up to find that the bustling New York she knew is now eerie and desolate. Just when she's convinced she's alone, Ashla is confronted by a dark warrior who draws her deeper into a world she never knew existed. The bond between Ashla and Trace is a mystery to both, but searching for answers will mean confronting long-hidden secrets, and uncovering a threat that could destroy everything Trace holds precious.

Goodreads review by BJ Rose on February 24, 2009

Jacquelyn Frank expands her Nightwalker series by creating the world of Shadowdwellers, a community of Nightwalkers that cannot tolerate direct light - only the light of the moon and stars is tolerable to them. 'Dwellers exist in two dimensions - Realscape and Shadowscape - and have the ability to F......more

Goodreads review by Buggy on June 25, 2011

Opening Line:"Ashla stood shivering in the darkened streets of Times Square. Jaquelyn Frank has created a dense and complicated new society in ECSTASY. I tried very hard to like this new world but it was a tough read and fans should be warned that this is not a continuation of the Nightwalker series.......more

Goodreads review by Lisa on June 09, 2011

For me the Shadowdwellers are a little more muted than the other Nightwalkers species we've met to date. Of course, it makes perfect sense given the characteristics of their species. Still, I found Trace a fascinating character and loved his interaction with Ashla. I wish there had been more insight......more

2.75/3 stars ⭐️ This book was a journey, honestly. I was highly tempted to DNF it, at some point, but I endured the pain and finished it anyway. My problem with this one was pace. It started strong and ended strong as well... but the middle part was unbearable. Probably, it was my fault to begin wit......more
