Lady of the Shades
What Ed wants is answers, what he finds is something he definitely didn't bargain for: the beautiful and untouchable Andeanna Menderes. Andeanna is a woman who is dangerously bound to one of London's most notorious crime lords, and if they are caught together it could mean death for them both.
Ensnared in an illicit affair that can only be conducted in the shadows, Ed's world is turned upside down as a series of shattering revelations blurs the line between what's real and what's not...
ok this was waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the last adult trilogy Darren Shan wrote, liked it more, full of twists till the end, ya i figured it out in the 2/3 of it,but still i was anxious to know if i was right,great plot, good twist,no dull moment. Darren Shan did it again.and i have extra love for the cover.

It reminded me a lot of 'The Woman in the Fifth' (Douglas Kennedy) at times, and overall it was a decent read. It pretty much only slipped from being 4 stars for me, as the constant twists and turns got a little exhausting after a while.That said... I really, really, wanted to find out the conclusion of it all... And damn, it's a good one.

I was so happy to find another grown up Darren Shan book after loving the City of the Dead Trilogy. This did not disappoint. I did not see the end of the book coming.
