In the Shadow World, he was the God of Death, and he was called many names. The monsters he hunted called him Anubis. Those who saw his face died. To Guardian Security, he was a number, a surgical weapon they wielded against monstrous evil. One woman called him Kaeden Lang. Anubis never meant her to be anything except an interlude, a moment of light in the darkness of his life, a one-time escape … escape from the ever-present haze of death. He committed an unforgivable sin—he saw her again—and again—and again. She held back the shadows that threatened to consume him.
Sky Meyers made a grave mistake six years ago. She fell in love—only to have the man she knew as Kaeden Lang disappear. Now, his daughter needed him to save her life. As the office manager for the State District Attorney, Sky accessed national databases in a desperate search for her baby’s daddy only to discover the man she knew as Kaeden Lang didn’t exist. She’d already lost the man she loved; she couldn’t lose her daughter.
Other eyes noticed Sky’s search. Abruptly recalled and informed of the existence of his daughter and her illness, Anubis slipped through the shadows to help Sky—but found death threatened more than his daughter. In her attempt to find Kaeden Lang, Sky unknowingly jeopardized his Shadow World existence by alerting an enemy Kaeden Lang can’t eliminate–only Anubis can.

As a huge fan of the Guardian Security series I was so excited to dive into the Shadow World and find out more about Anubis who we first met in Jewell. I knew I would fall in love with this character but what I didn’t count on was how much he and his girls would own my heart by the end of their story. When a man has lived his life immersed in the shadows and devoid of emotions then to be suddenly thrust into the light to save the daughter he didn’t even know existed and the woman that held is heart, this can only lead to nothing but confusion of the heart and mind. Sky and Anubis (aka Kaeden) is a story that is full of emotion, suspense, drama, angst, secrets and passion. There is plenty of appearances by our favourites from Guardian Security because when you are part of their family they will do anything and everything to guide you out of the darkness. Anubis held me captive from the very first page and just wouldn’t let go. This first book in the Shadow World series is nothing less than ten stars and one of the best books that Kris Michaels has written.
