Madness: Book One of the Shadow-Keepers Series

One ARC reviewer stated it best:

This is the fairy tale of Beauty and the Beast with twists, darkness and a love so meant to be that all you will be wishing all other fairy tales could be made into adult form.

A night could change everything.
Consume a cold heart in heat…
Open a heart that has been closed…
Intertwine two lives for a lifetime…and beyond

The only thing Reno Sundown has ever known is pain. How to take it and how to use it. He was created that way and once his purpose was done, he was locked away. Never had he known good, laughter, love until he met her.

Emma Devenmore has always focused on one thing, family. The eldest of her sisters, she has made life centered on protection. Protecting her family and doing her job of protecting others. A love story was never in her plans, until she met him.

By chance, their paths cross and both were forever changed. A Beauty left yearning for a Beast, who had opened her up to something she had never dreamed of.

A Beast left wanting for a Beauty, who had unlocked emotions he never knew possible, and never was supposed to know existed.

Once paths are crossed, can they ever be uncrossed? Once they are crossed, are they destined to grow together? Or can they only be consumed by complete Madness?

Praise and Reviews

What Professional Reviewers are saying:

...a good book resonates and leaves you a bit sad when you realize it's over and you're forced to return to the "real" world. A great book, however, leaves you looking around and wondering how the hells the world around you is ever going to be the same again after all you just lived through, thanks to the author. "Madness" is that book. And it's coming soon.
Prepare for change and forget all you know. Or think you know

Now, at first glance you'd never think that this was a love story. But it is. The good guy thinks he's bad because that's what he was made for only, he was made for more things than even he could imagine. I loved the fight he had within himself and the doubt he held. I loved how love always ALWAYS finds a way. Once you start reading you DON'T wanna stop. It pulls you in because you have all the elements-

I like being shown not just the strengths of a character but their weaknesses too. To be able to care, feel, and see both sides to witness something that is more than just words on a page. The main character’s intense passion for all things winds you up as a reader. You can almost feel the sugar rush, the chaotic vibration of raw, barely contained anger, and the pull of good versus evil. Overall, I found this to be a very interesting and entertaining read and I can’t wait for the next installment. I look forward to collecting this series

I loved the writing and I was sucked into the story from the beginning. I laughed, and found myself on the edge of my seat. I felt the sexual tension between the mains. I found myself really trying to read forward, to help me understand why they were separated in the first place. I found myself with my mouth open trying to help them kiss. The conflict was good. I felt the pain, I didn't get things until they were revealed. I may be the only person on the planet that didn't like harry potter because that world was just too complicated. Ward handled it well..It's a rare book that can accomplish for me
