Shadow
Stalker: The Hidden Truth, written by Renee Scattergood is by far a
compelling read. This is the first time I sat down to read a serialized novel,
and I had know idea what to expect.
The tail of a young girl finally
graduating and becoming an adult in front of the community. The only problem
Auren seems to have is trying to get her step father, Kado on the same page.
Auren plays the typical rebellious
teenager bulking out to have her freedom. This leads her and her friends, Jade
and Deakan into a situation that is going to change everything forever. She
finds herself a witness to an event that leads Kado to the rescue. With her
friends and herself on the brink of discovery Kado will reveal a part of
Auren’s past that she never knew about.
The young woman just stepping into
the role of an adult will come to realize, that everything she knew is wrong.
That something far more dreadful is coming and her world is now upside down.
The first episode is the bread and
butter to this serialized novel. I am hooked and will be following Shadow Stalker, to the bitter end. I
won’t give away the ending but Scattergood’s characters have me hungry for
more.
The details she puts into her novel
is by far extraordinary. I am dyeing for the count down to begin for episode
two. I am looking forward to reading more and getting to the characters in each
and every episode.
Scattergood,
has shown her hand with this piece of work. The shamanic background brings a
new life to this book, that many wouldn’t anticipate. I usually get angry with
cliff hangers at the end. But, then I remember one key thing about her novel.
That it is a serialized work and instead of waiting two years for the next
episode I only have to wait till next month.
Get your
fingers typing Mrs. Scattergood, we are dyeing to see what happens next.
Rating: 5/5

Synopsis:
Shadow stalkers, a shamanic-like
race of humans, are believed to be extinct. Their power was so feared by the
people of the Serpent Isles, an island chain in the otherwise barren north that
some people prefer to pretend that they never existed.
The Galvadi, a society of religious
zealots, wages war on the Coalition, who oppose the empire's immoral practices.
The Galvadi believe the Coalition is hiding a young shadow stalker who is destined
to enslave the people of the Serpent Isles. But only one man knows of this
shadow stalkers current location, and he is sworn to protect this child of
prophecy.
Auren Trask always knew there was a
secret about her past, but she was content to live a normal life. Then a
camping trip with her friends turns to disaster when they find themselves on
the run from a Galvadi invasion. With the help of Auren's foster father, Kado,
they manage to escape, but then he reveals, to Auren, the secret of her past. A
truth that will change her life forever.
