Review

I have just finished reading this book and I have to tell you that it has been awesome and that I’ve really enjoyed this book. It’s the first book of a trilogy called: “In Light of Shadows”.

These are the name of the books which form the trilogy: 1) “Chasing Eva”; 2 “Loving Eva” and 3) “Killing Eva”. This first is the beginning of the story of Eva and Clive who are the main characters.

This first one is the introduction, the beginning of the story. The plot is about a girl called Eva who has to take care of her father’s enterprise. One day, she meets again with Clive, a business man, an ex-FBI worker who will try to get into her heart and who makes her believe that maybe, after all, she’s finally found her Mr. Right. To work in the enterprise is not easy and besides that, she will be in danger…  Why? What secrets are behind all this? Will Clive and Eva be able to deal with all this? don’t want to give important details or spoiler something about the plot.

Characters:

Eva is the female character. She is self confident, tenacious and independent. She’s looking for her Mr. Right, the one who will become the love of her life. She has had a bad experience of the love, because she saw how her father cheated on her mother and due to that, her parents’ marriage was ruined. Then, she had a boyfriend (Jake) who cheated on her too. So, she doesn’t trust so much. Her dream is to be a chef, she studied for that, but when her father died, she has to take care of her father’s enterprise. She has got two friends: Izzy and Allie.

Izzy and Allie are hilarious. They work with Eva in the Enterprise. When they appear in a chapter, you laugh… They are really good friends, Eva’s best friends. They support her every time she needs it… I mean, they are not main characters, but they are fantastic.

Clive is the male character. He is handsome, protector, romantic, serious, tenacious… personally, I really loved him. He’s the owner of an important group of Spas and he worked in the FBI too. Seriously, you’re going to love him.

There are more characters, like Marc Marino, Ryan, Dave (Eva’s uncle), Silvia, Carter (Clive’s brother), Claire (Clive’s sister), Trevor… who you’ll know about them while you’re reading. They are also important in the development of the story and they contribute a lot.

Personally, my favorite character has been Eva. Because of her independence, the strength to take care of her father’s enterprise when not all the people believe in her, her tenacity, her determination...

More about the book:

It’s a book that when you start to read you just can’t stop. It traps you since the first page. And when you finish one chapter, you think… “Okay, one more…” because when you finish the chapter, you want/need to know what will happens next.

The love scenes are wonderful, full of sentences which make you sigh. And the suspense moments are amazing. It’s a book that makes you feel part of the story, understand the characters, feel what they are feeling…

About the author’s writing… I have liked it a lot. Because she describes very well the feelings and the characters (physical and emotionally). Besides, she uses words which are close to the reader.

The main themes of the book are: the love (relationship, family and friendship), our past, the consequences of hiding secrets, learning to trust, the betrayal, the appearances, the second chances and also the suspense. By the way, because of this first book is the beginning of the story, when you finish it you realize that there are a lot of questions without answers, which you’ll discover in the other two books. So, it’s a good point to keep the attention of the reader.

I have enjoyed it, I have liked it, I’ve loved Clive, I have enjoyed the characters, the story, the writing… If you love reading books with suspense, love and passion, you have to read it. 

I recommend it.
