Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Adair's conclusion to her paranormal romance trilogy that began with Night Fall and Night Secrets smoothly blends sensuality and espionage. As two covert T-FLAC (Terrorist Force Logistical Assault Command) agents—newbie Alexis Lexi Stone and seasoned veteran Alexander Stone (no relation)—travel the globe in search of those responsible for a series of bombings, the pair must contend with the attraction that threatens to destroy the professionalism of their relationship. Complicating the mission for Lexi are orders from her superiors to kill Alex if, as they suspect, Alex is a rogue operative. Meanwhile, Alex, who frequently teleports from one location to another, has to deal with deadly doppelgängers who have a tendency to disintegrate into soot. The confusing similarity of the protagonists' names provides some comic relief from the thriller action and hot sex. (Nov. 25)

3.0 out of 5 stars Night Shadow by Cherry Adair, January 7, 2009

By	eegat "eegat" (CA) - See all my reviews

I am a fan of Ms. Adair but this time around leaves me somewhat disappointed because of the last book in this triology. First, book three was over priced. It was a ripoff for the publisher to print the first two books in paperback and to print the last book as a bound copy, and to price it three times the price of the first two. In my opinion, this is BLATANT price gouging on behalf of the publisher or maybe the author for all that I know. Second, to add insult to injury, both books one and two had better story development. There were spots in book three where I found the story development muddled. It seemed as if Ms. Adair was rushing toward a deadline instead of developing a plausible storyline.

I was left with a few questions once this book was over but I did like the book over all. It could have been a bit longer in order to address some plot points but this trilogy was concluded fairly well. I wouldn't mind seeing more of these characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Final Book of the Series, December 5, 2008

By	Kristi Ahlers (Illinois) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Alex Stone is an psi agent in T-FLAC and he has been charged with watching out for Lexi Stone, a new agent with T-FLAC. Well, new to being in the field. He's fully aware that they couldn't be more opposite if they tried and yet he is drawn to the sexy new operative. However, he has issues. His powers are wonky and when he needs them the most they don't seem to work. And the evil that he's been feeling seems to be getting closer and closer. Will he finally be forced to admit he has a problem before the mission he's on concludes with the death of one of his team mates.

Lexi Stone's mission is to find out whether handsome Alex Stone is going rogue and if so, she is to terminate him. The more time she spends with him, the more she knows that something is wrong, but in her heart she doesn't think he's going rogue. And when he touches her, kisses her she finds herself having to choose. Do her mission or save the man she loves from himself.

First off I have to say that I love anything Ms. Adair writes! This is the end of a new trilogy and a perfect ending for a fast paced series. Lexi and Alex's romance is fast paced sexy and a total page turner. If you haven't read Adair...I have only one question for you...What are you waiting for? If you love a smart, sexy read, you'll find it here!
