How do you defeat an enemy that’s inside your head?Heath Kavanaugh lost years of his life working for a covert agency that ended up being the enemy. Knowing they put something inside his head–constant, incomprehensible whispers–is driving him crazy.He needs answers, but they’re nowhere to be found.What he definitely doesn’t need is to fall hard for his Linear teammate’s younger sister, … need is to fall hard for his Linear teammate’s younger sister, Jacquelyn–the adorable linguistics doctoral student who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Especially when Heath’s attention puts her directly in the path of a danger he thought was gone for good. To stop it, they’ll have to figure out what’s in his head. And hope it doesn’t destroy them all.

I’m in love; I have a new favorite Linear Tactical book boyfriend in Heath. A “gentler” story than Ghost, in many ways, Shadow gets to the bottom (or the head, rather) of Project Crypt, and lucky readers are taken along as the team works on it. There are surprises, shocks, old friends pop up again (and Bree and Tanner – fangirl moment there), and as always there’s Janie Crouch’s masterful writing, strong characters, and a story that stops you putting the book down. I wasn’t expecting what happened – always a strength when that happens – and I wasn’t expecting the wonderful man Heath is. This can be read as a standalone; as with the other Linear Tactical books, it is richer for having read them, but that isn’t essential. If this is your first Linear Tactical, I hope you go back and read the others just because you’ve fallen in love with the characters and want to know their stories; you won’t regret it. This is an outstanding read.
I received a free copy of this book. This review was posted voluntarily.
