He’s that creepy guy who made a girl fall in love with him so he could abduct her. I really hate Conn as a person and can’t see him as a love interest. It kind of went downhill when two boys started hitting on her. It’s still pretty good even after they enter than weird other universe Chicago (I have a lot of questions surrounding that). It was basically a mini contemp until Conn turns out to be a secret agent (no spoiler since it’s sort of a given) and abducts Darcy. The beginning was more of a contemporary then anything. I am very disappointed.”Īs you can tell, there’s a huge difference between the first part of the book and the rest. It became something more like “THE SHADOW SOCIETY started off quite well but over time it sort of lost its life as I kept reading. However, while reading the rest of the book, my first paragraph morphed into something different. The characters and the plot are very rich and I thoroughly enjoyed the book.”
The paragraph I thought of for while reading the first 100 pages of THE SHADOW SOCIETY went something like this: “THE SHADOW SOCIETY, while not perfect, is damn near it. Personally, I find it interesting to see how your first paragraph can change over time. If only I did that with the rest of the review… Maybe that’s why I love writing first paragraphs over and over again in my head. I’m a bit obsessed with the first paragraph of a review, so much so that I’ll write it over and over again till it’s perfect. It’s very interesting because if you stop every 50 – 75 pages, you’ll probably get many different review starters and ratings. Often while reading, I’ll take a few minutes break to sort of think of my rating and how I’ll start my review off. What she finds out will change her world forever …
Darcy decides to infiltrate the Shadow Society and uncover the Shades’ latest terrorist plot. When Conn betrays Darcy, she realizes that she can’t rely on anything-not herself, not the laws of nature, and certainly not him. It doesn’t line up with the way he first looked at her. Memories begin to haunt Darcy when a new boy arrives at her high school, and he makes her feel both desire and desired in a way she hadn’t thought possible. She has never really belonged anywhere-but she couldn’t have guessed that she comes from an alternate world where the Great Chicago Fire didn’t happen and deadly creatures called Shades terrorize the human population. Darcy Jones doesn’t remember anything before the day she was abandoned as a child outside a Chicago firehouse.
