“Shadows had it all—a chilling villain, witches, spells, and a captivating romance!” - Jennifer Probst, New York Times bestselling author
Shadows, an all-new spine-tingling paranormal romance from New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby, is available now!

I am never alone. Not even when I am alone.
I see the unquiet dead, the souls that wander through the French Quarter.
They can’t move on, and I can’t stop seeing them.
I wear malachite for protection, and I control what I let in. It’s the only way to stay sane. Everything changes the day Cassian Winslow joins my ghost walking tour and knocks my world off its axis with green eyes the color of the stone around my neck.
An unspeakable evil is loose in New Orleans, taking young women and leaving a bloodbath in his wake. More shadows lurking for me. More unhappy dead. There might be a way to stop it.
Open myself up to Cassian.
If I do, it could spell his death.
But if I don’t, it’s mine.

Review:
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Shadows is the first book in the Bayou Magic series by Kristen Proby. Unlike the rest of KP's books, this one is a paranormal novel with some suspense. Of course, the romance is also here, but not so much on the focus. Some readers might be turned off from the instant spark between Brielle and Cash, but I didn't mind and there was even mention of past lives, so I was in for the ride. The blurb mentions the name Cassian Winslow which is the hero of the novel, but everyone calls him Cash, so I am also going to go with it instead of his full name.
The epilogue of the story ends with some mild cliffhanger, but Brielle and Cash's story ends in this book. Still, the book is not s stand-alone novel in my opinion. Too many things are still going on and we have questions that need answers. Each book might feature a different couple, but I have the feeling that the story will continue in the next two installments.
Our heroine, Brielle, can see Shadows, which are basically ghosts and her sister have also gifts which I am not going to reveal. I liked both sisters even if Daphe's entrance made me dislike her a little bit. I really want to read her story, but from what I gathered she will be the last sister to find her happy ending, which sucks, but I will have to accept it. Cash is visiting New Orleans after he was forced to take a sabbatical from his work as a profiler. Due to his job, he is very insightful and helped Brielle with her case. Still, most of the work is done by the sisters. He and Brielle just clicked for me and I loved them together!
I loved the paranormal aspect of the story. I was reading the book at 4 am and I was getting some chills especially when there were mentions of the shadow and even worse, the man who was hurting all these women. It was very creepy and he was a twisted man. I got immersed in this paranormal world and I am delighted that Brielle's sister's are also getting books. We have so many questions unanswered and I need to know what is going on!
To sum it up, as you gathered, I loved the book and I would recommend it! Kristen Proby did a great job at introducing us to this new world and I look forward to seeing more of it in the future books.
