Review: SHADOW LOVER IS IN A CLASS BY ITSELF. I'VE NEVER READ ANY BOOK LIKE SHADOW LOVER BEFORE. IT IS AMAZING HOW THE AUTHER WRITES ABOUT SUCH AN IMPORTANT ISSUE AND YET VERY INTERESTING. I UNDERSTAND THAT SHADOW LOVER IS TO BE FOLLOWED BY FIVE OTHER TITLES. I CANNOT WAIT.

Summary: A WELL WRITTEN NOVEL
Review: There is so much that can be said for Shadow Lover .... This was a different read for me but I must say I loved it !!!!! It wasn't a realistic story especially the idea of a doctor falling in love with a battered woman, the wife of another man .Love at first sight? She was almost dead when the doctor saw her . I found that hard to believe. Compassionate yes.However this is a story not to be missed .Irvan was a crazey killer on the loose he was murdering any one he felt getting in his way .He was a control freak .I agree with one of the previous readers . Shadow Lover is an amazing story in a class by itself ! It proved that the shadow man is going to get you ! Irvan certainly got his ! This was , an amazing, entertaining, unbelievable and very good read ! I love the way the author put so much eroticism in her sex scenes . They were very steamy, at times I had to just put the book down . Then go back when I'd stop fanning ! ^5 to you Hope and please keep those scenes coming in the next books ! I will be waiting at the bookstores or computer for you next books! Thanks for a job well done ! If you have read the reviews posted on this book don't hesistant get it now ! Another 4.5 * read less than 5* but certainly more than 4* !

Summary: A Brilliant read...
Review: What saddened me about the reviewer who gave this book two stars was that she had more time to edit than appreciate. That showed me she had no need for intellectual entertainment. Rather she should try a device to reduce tension other than books. I will make no suggestions but I'm sure there are many. Merely correcting grammatical errors does not make one an authority. Thrillers are about immersion. I think the author, Hope C. Clarke, did a great job immersing you in her world. Regardless of typographical errors this book was a great read. I think it has an attitude and quality that's right for the market. Maybe that reviewer can proof read one of the books next time and ensure that such brilliant works are error-free. However, if you can't see past those minor errors, get a life.
