The Second Shadow Spotlight~Review~Giveaway


Jake thought being demon meant a shredded humanity, stripped of all human emotion. Chaos and self-preservation dominates a demon’s instincts. But Jake feels every ounce of pain and despair around him.
And it’s driving him deeper into Hell.
Gabby’s choice to save him last summer left a fissure in Hell’s gate that released a malevolent evil. When Jake’s given a mission by the demons to shadow a human girl who may know the whereabouts of an ethereal weapon, he doesn’t expect to see Gabby. But Fate has her own agenda.
When Jake and Gabby are thrown together on a camping trip with a group of delinquent teens, Jake begins to grapple with the haunting choices he made in the past.  When the evil finds them, the group begins to battle for their lives, alliances are made, and truths revealed. 
As the evil begins to influence Jake, he questions his link to the demons, his purpose, and his love for Gabby.
But the answers to those questions are only found in Hell. And it may cost him his soul.


Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Elizabeth spent most of her younger years as an avid reader with a wild imagination which led her to write her first manuscript at the age of fourteen.
But, life got in the way. Elizabeth completed a Bachelors degree in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice at Northeastern Illinois University and works in the community strengthening families.
But her love of stories held, and in 2008 she found herself back into her storytelling roots and began writing again. In 2012, Elizabeth signed with Sapphire Star Publishing to release her debut novel, THE SECOND SIGN.

Elizabeth still resides in Chicago’s south west side with her family, a household of kids, and the bliss of chaos. The good kind.  She continues to work in the community.

I have also included my review of book 1

Favorite Lines “A stone baptismal fountain laid on the floor to his left, large enough to bathe a child or drown one depending on your intent.”

“Say it. I want you to say it,” he said softly.

“I don’t know, all right. I don’t know.” He had some kind of cheesy grin that disappeared the moment she looked at him.

“I can live with that.”

“If he stopped breathing now, if he died tomorrow on that jump, he’d lived a full life because he caught a glimpse of something more than love. It was a deep sense that all was right in the world. That he could touch the stars.”

“I won’t let you fall, Gabby, ever”

“Jake wasn't a believer in the divinity. Shit happens. Period”

 “Why did God send him to her?”

Man what an amazing book! Angel and Demons have always been a favorite of mine so I was so looking forward to this book! It did not disappoint! My heart broke for Gabby having to live in Max’s shadow like she does. Learning her story brought tears to my eyes. Then she meets Jake and I finally think she’s been given something good and then it all falls apart!
I don’t understand Angels sometimes they are so unforgiving even when a rule is broken for the right reason! It’s a touchy subject can you tell?

Now on to the story.  Gabby is a teenager well not like every other teenager she the daughter of an angel and her brother is an angel. I thought she was one too but she has a lot of anger and there is something different about her. She just wants normal! She can’t have that though.  I think she would settle for just a little bit of happiness and when she meets Jake she thinks she might have found that! Things are going good for about a minute then tragedy happens all around her. People die and lie to her more than I can even keep track of. You know I won’t tell you what happens but picture this.

Girl meets boy they fall in love then find out they are each on one side of good and evil! Gabby is daughter of Angel  Jake is a son of a Demon DO I NEED TO SAY MORE!?!?!

If you like Angel and Demon books then THIS IS BOOK FOR YOU!!!
FIVE DEMON ANGELS (borrowed from Cindy for this book)

Favorite Lines “I'm in this. With you. I don't know what's going on with the angels and demons, but this can't happen. I won't let it.”

“Lessons in love from a traitor. A Fallen who doesn't even know what side he belongs on.” Pat smiled. “I'm on my side. Remember that.”

“Opening her eyes, she noticed an ancient sadness in his expression, and a realization that they could never be.”

“She’d believed love to be the root of all evil. It made people do unspeakable things, things they wouldn’t do normally.”

“But will you survive another century? You are a new breed, young and foolish. I can feel the loss running through your veins.”

“There is no peace for the wicked. Remember that.”

Man this book really put me through the ringer emotionally! I have come to adore all of the characters even Pat and I find myself surprised but that! Gabby and Jake continue there journey from where The Second Skin left off. Jake hates Gabby for not saving his sister and Gabby doesn't know that she has started something much bigger by making that choice! Max continues to surprise me in this book right up until the end! I'm DYING to tell you all what happened but, I won't ruin it for you!
This Author has a way of dragging you in so deep I felt my heart breaking in this book! I cried more than once when reading this book! So much heart ache so much betrayal! It's crazy! I would love to know this wasn't the last book but this author brought the story full circle so I'm wondering what could be next!
Thank you for writing this amazing book! I really enjoyed it and have already told a couple people to check it out.
Angels and Demon! LOVE THEM!!!
I was given this book in exchange for an honest review! (RAVBT)
