Review Reader Praise for Shadows Among Us:"I've been in the mood for creepy reads...I swear I think Ellery Kane can read my mind.""Bottom line, perfection!""Shadows...has got to be the deepest and most jarring of them all. The writing,as always, was perfection. The characters were developed so well, I found myself hurting with them...I couldn't put this book down!" From the Author Shadows Among Us is the fourth novel in my series of psychological thrillers, Doctors of Darkness. Each novel is a standalone with new characters, new stories, and new twists and turns, all united by a common theme: Betrayal, lust, revenge, murder...These doctors earned their degrees from the dark side.  From the Inside Flap I've always wanted to write a serial killer book. That probably sounds a little strange, but it's true! From Dexter to Hannibal Lecter to James Patterson's Kyle Craig, it's safe to say these guys are fascinating. Deadly and deranged but fascinating nonetheless. As a psychologist and author, I've long had a yearning to take a peek under the hood of these devious minds. From that yearning, Shadows Among Us was born. I am so excited for you all to meet Dr. Mollie Roark and accompany her on the treacherous and twisty road to revenge against Shadow Man, the serial killer who took everything from her. Everything. Beware: You may want to leave the lights on tonight, because you're about to find out...Evil is closer than you think. About the Author Forensic psychologist by day, novelist by night, Ellery Kane has been writing--professionally and creatively--for as long as she can remember. Just like many of her main characters, Ellery loves to ask why, which is the reason she became a psychologist in the first place. Real life really is stranger than fiction, and Ellery's writing is often inspired by her day job. Evaluating violent criminals and treating trauma victims, she has gained a unique perspective on the past and its indelible influence on the individual. And she's heard her fair share of real life thrillers. An avid short story writer as a teenager, Ellery recently began writing for enjoyment again, and she hasn't stopped since. Ellery's debut novel, Legacy, has received several awards, including winning the Gold Medal in the Independent Publisher Book Awards, young adult, e-book category, and the Gold Medal in The Wishing Shelf Independent Book Awards, teenage category.
