This book was MUCH improved from the first of the series. It was much easier to follow and the story was more compelling. I was able to read some on vacation and then pick it up a few weeks later without being extremely confused, which is what happened in the first book.

I received Shadow- Run But You Can't Hide as part of the Member Giveaway program. This is the second book of the Storm series. I received an autographed copy encouraging me to read Book 1 first in order to have the complete background. I was pleasantly surprised that even though this was the second book of the series, the author clarified enough that this could definitely be a stand along story.

This is the story of Evan and Shadow in the race for their lives to keep their newborn son, Bright, safe from Shadow's ex Marvin, who has plans of his own. Sidhu does an amazing job with character development and keeps the reader invested in the story and the lives of the character. I enjoyed this book- quick action filled story that does not disappoint. ( )

Struggled through the first book and hoped this one would be written a little better. Not a bad story or book. Just a little flat. ( )

I was fortunate enough to win a copy of this book in a Librarything early reviewers’ draw. This was back in March and as the weeks meandered by it seemed that it might be a no-show until a neatly wrapped package arrived from the USA a couple of weeks ago. Inside the book was a signed inscription from the author suggesting I read the first book in the series, Storm, as Shadow would make more sense. I thought it was the least I could do given the cost of shipping the book to the UK. And I’m so glad I did! For not only does reading Storm enhance the understanding of Shadow it’s made me hungry for Book 3 of the series now.

Shadow is a complex thriller, and although the book is ostensibly rooted in a 1930s past and the present day it has elements of the futuristic, the paranormal and the almost dystopian. As I have read the books back to back it’s hard to separate the two in a way. But Shadow cleverly begins by echoing the ending of Storm. Many issues are dealt with concerning greed, power and corruption, companies, family dynamics, past lives – and that’s just for starters!

The difficulty of reviewing books like these is in not giving too much away in terms of the plot. It is a convoluted and complex plot with some family and relationship lineage that demands the reader concentrate. I would guess that more will be revealed in Book 3. I certainly hope so!

It is both plot and character driven. There is some excellent characterisations making it easy to like some characters and to loathe and fear some of the others. Those of, shall we say, a sinister nature had shivers going down my spine when they popped up in the story. The plot is complicated and my admiration for the authors effort here is boundless. There is a lot of action and the tension is palpable on occasions. There are some upsetting moments that are crucial to the plot. But the twists and secrets, revelations and choices to be made keep all of the characters, and readers too, on their toes the whole time. Relax at your peril!

To pare the story down it is about a family whose lives are affected by the SEA (Secret Eye Agency). The family lock horns with agents of the SEA and there is an attempt to bring down this insidious organisation by members of the family. That is reducing it to the minimum because so much more goes on. I was gripped by both books and I’m looking forward to see how the series continues and develops.

If you’re looking for absolute realism then maybe you’d best look away but if you have an expansive imagination open to all the possibilities that fiction can throw at you then you’ll find a lot to entertain you in this series.

My thanks to Librarything for facilitating my copy of this book and to the author herself for my copy and endowing me with a new moniker - Agent 778! ( )

Review: Shadow: Run But You Can’t Hide by Gurpreet Kaur Sidhu.

This was an Early Reviewer’s Book that I really enjoyed. I didn’t have the pleasure of reading the first book but with the reviews of Book 1 Storm gave me the interest to read this book. I enjoyed the book with curiosity to stay interested to the end. The well develop characters brought this story to life. Throughout the story the reader would hear about past events and then bring the reader’s to the point of the story the author kept you in.

This book was about past family happenings and what the family was going through at this time. This is where the amazing paranormal structure and some evil become alive. I’m glad I caught the information about the family business SEA (Secret Eye Agency) right off at the beginning and when the WIP (Women In Power) entered the story it kept me following the story page after page.

Evan and Shadow were great characters and had a newborn son. The 19th century fearful visions that kept appearing to Evan never came to a stop and I believe the visions will probably be in future books of this series. It seemed like Evan and Shadow were always on the run trying to keep their son from being abducted.

In this book I believe the point of view was taking down the Family SEA and moving on from there. I found it an enjoyable read. ( )
