Enshad­owed by Kelly Creagh

Wait­ing on Wednes­day is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Break­ing the Spine to spot­light any upcom­ing releases you are eagerly anticipating!

This week was an easy choice — I just read the first book Nev­er­more this past week and absolutely loved it! I am in love with these two and the world Creagh has cre­ated — creepy and unique with ter­ri­fy­ing crea­tures and night­mares and two real­is­tic lead char­ac­ters. Even bet­ter, just like the first book, this one looks like it will be over 400 pages. It may look a bit twilight-esque but this series by Creagh has absolutely noth­ing to do with the recent trend of vam­pires, fallen angels or Greek myths. The only bad thing is that I have to wait until Jan­u­ary 24th 2012 before I can get my hands on it!

‘While Varen remains a pris­oner in the dream-world, Iso­bel is haunted by his mem­ory. He appears to her in her dreams and soon, even in her wak­ing life. But is she just imag­in­ing it? Iso­bel knows she must find a way back to Varen. She makes plans to go to Bal­ti­more. There, she con­fronts the fig­ure known through­out the world as the Poe Toaster—the same dark man who once appeared to Iso­bel in her dreams, call­ing him­self “Reynolds.”

Iso­bel suc­ceeds in inter­rupt­ing the Toaster’s rit­ual and, in doing so, dis­cov­ers a way to return to the dream-world. Soon, she finds her­self swept up in a realm which not only holds rem­nants of Poe’s pres­ence, but has also now taken on the char­ac­ter­is­tics of Varen’s inner­most self. It is a dark world com­prised of fear, ter­ror, and anger.

When Iso­bel once more encoun­ters Varen, she finds him changed. With his mind poi­soned by the dream world, he becomes a malev­o­lent force, bent on destroy­ing all—even him­self. Now Iso­bel must face a new adver­sary, one who also hap­pens to be her great­est love.’
