Shadow’s Claim by Kresley Cole (The Dacians: Realm of Blood and Mist #1) November 27, 2012 Paranormal Romance Pocket Reviewed by Mandi This book starts a spin-off series from Kresley Cole’s Immortals After Dark series.

They frustrate me because I feel like either the stalker isn’t really a viable threat or the heroine doesn’t take her safety seriously, making me roll my eyes.
