JordanThis story isn’t about love, like, lust, or a happily ever after. This story, my story, is about struggle, pain and suffering. Fighting to stay afloat while being pulled under by what feels like the murky and powerful undertow of the ocean. Fighting for strength I so desperately need when all I am feeling is desolate and weak. I’m a girl who exudes hatred when a normal girl of my age and … and pedigree should be the picture perfect portrait of love.
Alcohol consumes me. Drugs numb me. Sex for money feeds the hollow abyss deep within me. How does a soon-to-be twenty-five year old escort turn her life around when the last several years of her life has been spent traveling down a very dark path?
The Shadow
She became my obsession, my every thought. She is the reason I wake up in the morning, plotting, scheming, exacting a revenge she so desperately deserves. But will she take my offer once she learns my true identity; sees the darkness within me, or will she hate me for lying to her all of these years, leading her to lose herself to the drugs and alcohol that have kept her ghosts at bay? Will she be my Precious?

Wow I really don’t know how to put into words how amazing this book is. I have never read a book that had affected me so much. My heart was racing all the way through. Its a deeply moving book that deals with sensitive issues such that could be upsetting for some people but the author writes with such care and honesty that why it’s hard to read in some places it really opens your eyes to the pain that some people have to go through. The characters of Jordan and Hunter are really well written. They are two messed up people who find containment and happiness with each other, but will the demons of their pasts destroy their happiness?
Jordan’s Shadow by T.R. Cupak. I LOVED this book. Its a very dark, moving read. Its the story of Jordan who is working for a coffee shop and has no friends. When she is offered a job as an escort she decides she doesn’t have anything to lose and everything to gain. She begins to use drugs and alcohol to dull the pain that subsides inside her. One night she meets someone named the Shadow and she feels like she may have something to look forward to with him. The Shadow becomes her lifeline and unbeknownst to her, he is trying to save her. Once a month her life seems brighter when he calls and if she can hold on maybe she can have a real life. This book deals with some very dark topics so be prepared. It deals with assault, drug/alcohol addiction, and depression. Its an amazing story of two people who cling to one another and have hope for their future regardless of their past!
I’m not even sure how to process this. Heavy. Raw. Emotional. Real. This book rightly gives a disclaimer at the start. Heed it. If you are looking for rainbows and unicorns and warm fuzzies and HEA, this isn’t it. If you are looking for unadulterated emotion and life, this is it. Wow.
If you enjoyed the fifty shades of grey trilogy, then you will love this book. It’s hot and erotic in parts and so filled with so many emotions and a sense of betrayal and need for revenge as the story follows a girl who develops a drug and alcohol addiction due to losing everything at a young age, that is until she meets the guy she refers to as her shadow…. The Shadow deeply cares for her and only wants to help her get her revenge and what is owed to her, its truly a page turner and I enjoyed every second of it.
This is a very emotionally heavy book. It has alot of dark aspect in it which can be triggers for some people.
It deals with some real issue that happen in life and I feel really connected to this book due to my past. Jordan doesn’t have the most normal relationship however this is what works for them. For this book you need to get out those tissue as the tears will flow. Highly recommended to read.
Jordan’s Shadow by T.R. Cupak is a dark and twisted and disturbing read that is so good. It is heart wrenching and heartfelt all at the same time with so many emotions taking place. You will need the tissues when you read this and enter a world where love and loss, revenge and betrayal, lies and secrets, pain and fear will envelope you like a dark cloud on a winters day. There are also lighthearted moments that will make you laugh but trust me when I say this story is not for the feint of heart and does have things that may cause triggers, so BEWARE! This story is heart shattering and yet beautiful. You can’t help but fall in love with all the characters. T.R is one heck of a great writer.
She wants revenge and he is only too happy to help.
TR never fails to deliver. Dark, twisted and crazy town. There is no HEA only an ending. It is a story that will stay with you long after you have finished it.
I am at a loss for words……… this story is so raw, dark, twisted and heartbreaking. This is a fantastic read, and will stay with you for a long time. I have not been so emotional over a book in a very long time until I read this book. The love of Hunter and Jordan and the emotional roller coaster toll on my heartstrings………. just a great book. The story is just so raw …….
Cupak has written an emotionally driven plot focussed on two characters, Jordan and The Shadow. This book is not peppered with lofty love language and star-struck characters. Instead, Jordan wrestles with emotions common to most of feeling alone and overwhelmed in the struggle of life. She is using alcohol and drugs as a means of escaping the stress and pain she feels. This escape is funded by the customers who pay for her time until one of those escorts changes everything. Then the reader is introduced to The Shadow and we become as consumed as Jordan with her. Why is Jordan wanting revenge on her? Will this bring her peace? How will Cupak bring resolution to Jordan? Each page changes the direction of the story. Great literary work.
This is a Dark Romance and is 278 pages. This story follows Jordan, an escort who uses alcohol and drugs to get through the days, and her shadow, Hunter. Jordan was raped when she was younger and that is why she is who she is now. So yes, there may be some triggers in here for somebody. This is an emotionally gripping book, one that I just could not put down. This literally pulls out all the feels while you are reading. What an epic read!

Jordan’s Shadow is my first book by this author, this story is one of a kind, for some it may be hard to read, for me it is enthralling, captivating, emotional. Needless to say I loved it! I love how different it is and how unexpected the ending was. The commitment and patience of Hunter and Monte throughout the book is what kept me going. The one thing I love about reading is the way stories can take you to another world. It isn’t very often that you find people in the real world like them. I highly recommend this book!
Jordan’s Shadow is a heart breaking and gut wrenching read. But so amazingly written that I couldn’t stop turning the pages.
If you’re looking for a happy ever after, you won’t find it here. What you will find is a story of love and protection, with revenge that is deserved.
It’s a dark romance but not your normal predictable romance. There’s hearts and flowers followed by danger and hurt. There’s obsession and protection that quickly turns to love and rebuilding a life together.
Jordan and Hunter’s story is a page turner, I felt like I inhaled the book. It’s so easy to read, even with its sensitive subject matter. I was left speechless, it took me a few hours to get my words down to write this review.
T.R. Cupak has blown me away with this read. Can’t wait for the next.
“You breathe, I breathe!”
This was the best book to show the actual meaning of loving someone. You Breathe, I breathe is the only way this book works.
