Shadow
To protect my deadly secret, I drown in killing and madness. The facade hides my darkness and pushes everyone away.
Not her.
Zoe provokes me. Challenges me. She twists her fingers in my black heart and stirs a part I thought was long dead.
Then she runs.
She calls me a monster.
Well, this monster will never let her go.
Shadowed is a mafia romance, romantic suspense, and a killer romance with tones of darkness. For a better understanding of Team Zero’s assassination world, you might want to read Crowed and Ghosted first. Shadowed is an enemies to lovers romance, has no cliffhanger and no cheating, and ends on a HEA. Due to language and sexual content, this is advised for mature audience only. more
Shadowed sucked me in at page one and didn’t let go! Shadow is a dark and tortured soul who meets Zoe who also has a painful past. These two are instantly attracted to each other and their story takes us on a fast paced, suspenseful, dark and twisted ride. I love the side of Shadow that Zoe brings out and that these two find love. I was shocked by secrets that are revealed in this story and cannot wait for the next book!
This book was well written, dark, twisted, intense, suspenseful, and full of action. This book is a roller coaster, that will pull you in. Great read.

4 1/2 Stars
The attraction between Shadow and Zoe was definitely present, but I was glad the author didn’t turn their relationship into an insta-lust/insta-love scenario.
I liked Zoe’s tough independent personality that was also filled with vulnerability. Her backstory was tragically painful and almost matched Shadow’s ominous past.
Raw, graphic scenes displayed their mutual need for brutal and edgy intimacy.
Full of gritty passion and intrigue as their tangled histories merge in a surprisingly satisfying ending.

wow what a hot steamy read that will have you hooked throught out this series. this series is full of dark and suspenseful Mafia romance and is sooo simply phenomenal.
Wow!! Every book in this series as it is released has outdone the prior one for sure! I absolutely love how they have all overlapped and it’s not just a continuation of the last book. I adore Shadow’s sinister personality but yet he absolutely adores his Nona. I couldn’t get enough of Zoe’s always diving in headfirst and without thinking way of doing things as well.
Wow! Who would think that Shadow and Zoe had such a story to tell!!!
The full story of their relationship is here and also their individual backgrounds. It is funny how close their lives started out but they never knew about each other. Now they know each other and their chemistry is off the charts.
We learn more about the Team Zero members as well; I can’t wait for a story about Hawk!!
Loved the book it was great the story was well written and the characters were interesting. Zoe is scared of the dark side of Shadow but his sensual side is not enough to keep her there and runs away. The chemistry between these two are off the charts hot and steamy. This series is outstanding.

This is a fast-paced action drama full of twists and turns that caught my attention from the first chapter and never let go. Shadow and Zoe have great chemistry throughout this book and some great dialogue. The story is told from dual point of view which helps to add even more intrigue, intensity and mystery to the book. This is a wonderful read and a page-turner.

Oh Shadow! With each Team Zero book, I think I cannot possibly like this one anymore that I liked the last book. So with that said, Ghosted had set the book bar pretty high for me going into Shadowed. Yet, Oh my holy hell!! This book far surpassed ANYTHING I could have imagined. I’m so in love with Shadow and Zoe’s story. They are so beautifully and tragically damaged, yet absolute perfection together. They are so unbelievably hot. Shadow is the perfect blend of dominant, crazy jealous and secretly sweet in his own way. Zoe is feisty and fierce and can hold her own pretty well, yet is submissive enough to perfectly balance him in the bedroom…or any room for that matter. I’m going to be super vague here, because #SpoilersSuck ! I loved the connections that came out between Shadow and Zoe. The historical information, if you will. Wow! Rina Kent literally knocks you out with one surprise after another in this book . So much was amazingly unexpected. This entire Team Zero series is so spectacular and while each book is a standalone each one uncovers more mysteries and keeps you anticipating the next read. Your dying to see what secrets are unlocked in the next book. I would highly recommend reading this amazing book, but would definitely recommend the entire series, in order. I would give 10 stars easily!!
I loved reading this story. This is the first book from this author and it was awesome. I want to read the whole series now. Can’t wait to see what happened in the first two books.

I enjoyed the book. It continued in the vein as the previous book. The story starts before the previous book. We learn how Zoe and Shadow came to meet and why he is trying to find her. Plenty of mafia/assassin vibes in the book. Zoe and Shadow’s relationship is definitely on the more messed up side. Not the most traditional of relationships.
This story is about a heartwrenching past that leads 2 people together. I couldn’t put this book down! It goes from thrilling to heartbreaking to terrifying to sweet in such a perfect story!

Wow! I love, love this Team Zero series!! This dark and suspenseful Mafia romance is simply phenomenal. Packed with murder, mystery, danger, darkness, drugs, passion, and intrigue that make it very interesting and compelling to keep you glued to the pages of this fascinating story. This is the fourth book in the Team Zero series. This thrilling and suspenseful story is about Shadow (Angelo), one of Team Zero’s notorious killers. The secret of what happened to Shadow as a child was disclosed, but he would eradicate anyone who knew his secret. Shadow was raised by a woman named Nonna. As a teen, Shadow was also kidnapped and trained to become an assassin by the organization called The Pit—founded by Hades. This tall, handsome, sexy, arrogant, possessive, cold-blooded killer, and an a**hole will do anything to protect those he cares about. Zoe had a traumatic childhood, and while in a foster home she met Elle and Liam—her brother and sister. When Shadow meets Zoe, he is enthralled with her, but she tends to provoke and irritate him—he can’t help to be drawn to the feisty, sassy, and obstinate beautiful woman. Zoe had planned to infiltrate the place where Shadow is an owner to bring down one of its rivals for revenge. Will Zoe’s plan work or will it be thwarted? Will anyone find out Shadow’s secret? Wait until you read what happens between Shadow and Zoe—you will be flabbergasted. Rina Kent you did it with this twisted, steamy, and suspenseful romance with deep and troubled characters. The storyline is fluid, and the characters are extremely well developed. You won’t regret reading this book!
I received for an honest review from Booksprout

OMG – Rina Kent has hit it out of the ballpark again with Shadowed – Zoe and Shadow’s story. Zoe’s out to avenge her mum’s death, and starts working as a waitress at LeSalon, where she meets Shadow. She’s smitten with him at the same time that she hates him, and that hatred fuels his sick desires. He’s Team Zero, trying to break his dependency on Omega but not always successful at it. These two are so perfect for each other, but the relationship is extremely volatile – they both feed off the nastiness of the other one. The first part of the book takes place prior to the events in Ghosted, with the rest of the book taking place after. The book asks as many questions as it answers – I’m looking forward to the next book. (I hope to see Flame’s story soon!)

ONE THRILLING ADVENTURE!!!
Man, what a whirlwind! Rina skillfully laid this baby out with one thrilling storyline and explosive plot that propels this little jewel to life flawlessly. Twixt and twined and stretched to unbelievable limits that keep you grappling, fusing piece after piece together without a crease. All the uncertainty, revelations and speculation along with all that drama and intrigue go hand-in-hand. A legion of surprising circumstances along with a bevy of inadvertent mishaps thrust those blazing emotions into play front and center. One non-stop action packed, page flipping bombshell keeps you riveted on a razors edge. Pushing through all the trials and tribulations with such perilous paths, nerve racking danger and electrifying suspense catapults this unique spin to a whole new level. The characters and their personalities are original, tangible and well developed with just enough flaws to add spice to the mix. The scenes are graphically detailed to give you a full understanding and the realism that play out fluidly from each scenario without a hitch. Remarkable job Rina, thanks for sharing.
Even with so many wrong words/errors they couldn’t ruin my reading pleasure, rare for me!
Felt like I was reconnecting with the team from previous books in this series but this one, whilst brutal, also had a lot of toe curling off the charts chemistry & loving going on & I feel there’s another one in the making for other characters. I can’t wait! Loved the way a cold hearted murderer could become caring & kind when he realised he’d met his match in a feisty & challenging woman who humanised him. A great read, highly recommended.
Shadowed is a dark romantic suspense story that is full of surprises and a happily ever after. Can’t wait to read more of this series.

I really enjoy the Team Zero Series by Rina Kent.
Shadow intrigued me in Ghosted. I love his give no fcks attitude. The character development was great as you see what makes Angelo and Zoe them. Zoe and Shadow have great chemistry. I felt the connection between them off the pages of the book.
Shadowed continues the storyline for Team Zero and the Pit. I love how all of the Team Zero series focus on the romance between the hero and heroine but still provides us some insight to the Pit and all that comes with being part of it. There is still plenty of action and suspense to keep you hooked but it’s the love story that steals your heart. I am looking forward to the rest of the teams stories as we continue to learn more about Hades and the Pit.
