I truly did not want to put this book down! It captivates you from the beginning to end! It's one of those "on the edge of your seat! What's going to happen next?" kind of books!

Sherry Moore's SHADOWS OF THE PAST is a methodical presentation of one man's reign, terror and illusiveness; a true Casanova, his heart fueled with lechery and hatred. He is obtrusive and rambunctious to those close to him, to those who love him. With unremitting curiosity, we watched the plight of one woman's heightened determination to jump each hurdle he plants in her way. To stay free from harm, to stay safe from a raucous maniac that's on the prowl!

I was impressed with how the thoughts flowed, how she handled the paragraph transitions, and her nice crisp paragraphs. She captured the feelings of someone caught in an abusive situation, I could feel the fear, and was relieved with the hope she offers anyone caught in simliar situation. The book was simply captivating and hope others read it to, if only for enjoyment.
