SHADOW IN SERENITY was a unique book that I quickly found
myself engulfed in.
Carny Sullivan grew up the child of traveling carnival con
artists. She can spot a con from a mile
away. And because of that, the minute Logan Brisco blows into town she knows he’s
a con just waiting to happen. She calls
him on it publically, but he quickly diffuses her claims. Carny is determined to expose Logan before he
fleeces the town of Serenity of everything they have.
As Carny watches Logan’s every move and does her best to
trip him up, she makes one mistake. She
allows herself to get too close to the dashing man with the easy smile and soon
finds there is more to the man they she counted on. With the town’s people in love with him, and
willing to follow him to the ends of the earth, Carny is torn. Maybe he isn’t the swindler she thought him
to be, or is she, along with everyone else in Serenity going to fall prey to the
ultimate con.
This story was very captivating. I found myself torn between Carny getting the
opportunity to show the people of Serenity that she in fact is right in her
analysis of Logan, and me wanting Logan to turn out to be a standup guy. Without spoiling it for others, this story
has an ending that satisfied both of my desires.
With the unique setting and colorful characters, SHADOW OF
SERENITY was a fresh approach to an otherwise basic premise.
