"Shadows from the Past" by Ashley Dawn - Book Review


About the Book
“…It is the price you pay for choosing to be a cop. Your brother’s life…”

Those words haunt her dreams, and her waking moments. LAPD officer, Aurora Kavvan cannot rest until she finds her brothers killer. Digging into the past always brings back unpleasant things: memories, guilt…the hit man. Now she is in a race against time to find the murderer before he finds her.

“Kill her. I don’t care how, and I don’t care where, but I want her dead now!”

Someone was trying to kill his dead partner’s sister. FBI agent, Jordan Reiley will stop at nothing to protect the woman he loves. Even if it means going against her wishes; putting himself between her and the man who murdered her brother.

Will God keep them alive long enough for them to find the truth?

My Thoughts

I had never heard of Ashley Dawn before, but the book blurb sounded intriguing. I found the book to be action packed and didn't figure out the mystery ahead of time. There were some things that bugged me about the book, however. It would jump from one person's point of view to another from one paragraph to another. It was difficult at times to know who we were following at the moment. There were also grammar issues that wouldn't have gotten caught by a spell checker since they were correctly spelled, just not the right word for the circumstance, such as: innocents for innocence, barley for barely, they're for their, boarder for border, isle for aisle. It was distracting. I do look forward to reading the other books in the series.
