A Darkly Sweet, Fun, Twisted Love Story.
Welcome to the world of The Grid. Where heroic bad-asses looking for a second chance to get into Heaven are fighting a war among us.
Reno Sundown’s been fighting that war for over 150 years. But just like the war, no one knows it. That’s because he’s the dark split personality of one of the Grid’s baddest heroes. The only things he is ever allowed to … ever allowed to have are the bad, the pain and the violence. Never the good. A dark secret to be hidden away. And he thought that’s all he would ever be. Until her.
Emma Devenmore has always focused on one thing, family. The eldest of her sisters, she has made life centered on protection. Protecting her family and doing her job of protecting others. A love story was never in her plans, until she met him. And then, didn’t know he even existed. Watching and longing for something he was not allowed to have. Her.
Can love make a life? Can it be so strong that despite the darkness that has staked its claim, can it make the impossible possible?
Can the Beauty always save the Beast?
Even when she doesn’t even know he’s waiting to be saved?

So this is the first book i have read by this author and it is the first book i n the shadow keeper series so i wasn’t sure what to expect when i started reading. But i am definitely glad i gave it a chance, it drew me in from the beginning. Without going into to much detail Reno has been given a chance at life and it brings him back to the only woman he wants. But can he live his new found life and protect the woman that he loves from everything , including him and everything that is coming.
The author has created a story with brilliant characters, action and romance.
I just loved this book. It was so well-written that it captured my mind and I was dragged along for the ride. Once I started reading I could not put it down until I read the last page.

I was intrigued by the promise of this book, unfortunately it did not quite meet the promise. With some editing and refining this could be a great book.

I have always loved reading, getting lost among the words of author’s who pour their hearts and souls into their work. And Madness gives you everything that you could ever want. I couldn’t stop reading and before I knew it, I had finished. It’s dark, twisted and full of surprises that you would never expect. It makes you want more and the story of Reno takes your breath away.
I don’t think I have ever read anything this amazing. I LOVED this book!!! I was on an emotional roller coaster from start to finish. Jas T. Ward is an unbelievable writer/author and I cannot wait to read more.
“I’m not whole without you. I don’t have a heart that beats without yours to call it to do so. I never knew love, peace or kindness before you. You’re not only good enough for me, Witch. You’re everything. You’re the beauty to my beast. I’m savage without your love to calm me. I’m useless without your faith that made me.”
Well, where do I start? Is this a paranormal thriller? Is it horror? Is it an action story? Is it a romance? If you’re wondering, the answer is YES!!!
Take one pissed off demon, who blames both Heaven and Earth for his tragedies, determined to bring darkness to the world in hopes that humanity will destroy itself and the balance of light and dark will tip in his favor, add to that a team of other demons sworn to keep the balance from tipping one way or the other, throw in Eaters, Breakers, Relays, and …. well Reno, and you’re in for one heckuva ride!!
The whole story of how Reno came to be was outright brilliant. I don’t think I’ve ever ready a story line so original, twisted, and complex as this one! Then to find out who, or what, he truly is and the purpose he will serve? WOW!! And, while the battle between light and dark rages on, you have an amazing love story between Reno and Emma. For so long he loved her but could never touch her. Then to finally have the life he had always wanted within his grasp, only to see if pulled form him yet again, my heart broke. But true love knows no boundaries, and even death can’t keep him from her.
I loved this story! I’ll be moving on to book 2 as soon as humanly, or un-humanly possible!!!
3.5 stars
I have to say that I really love the premise of the story and these characters…Wow! So unique and individual that I don’t feel like I’m watching a repeat of someone else’s tale. Where this one fell a little short for me, was that I didn’t feel clued in, or drawn into the plot until the last 20% of this book.
I recommend you view this review as strictly my opinion because, well, I’m a “grab me by the throat on page 1” kinda girl, but know that I am intrigued enough to seek out the next installment.
This book is so much more than about Reno and Emma. But their love is the cornerstone I believe. This unique world that Jas T Ward has created has me hooked. The characters are so well designed and the story is so detailed that it feels like it’s happening right before your eyes. I can’t wait to read the next book!! Wonderful
