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.
