Lauren2013 | May 5, 2023 |   I've listened to 1/8 parts and so far it is not the magic with storytelling that i'm used to from Howard. Then I saw that it included a little of the supernatural - that's a no-no for me, but I'll give it a bit longer. Okies | Dec 13, 2022 |  ) NickyM96 | Nov 21, 2022 | I was riveted though by the suspense element of it all, why she didn't recognize herself and why she had 2 blank years etc. So this is nothing like Linda Howard of old where the relationship was the main thing but more like [b:Cry No More|187500|Cry No More|Linda Howard|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1172540015s/187500.jpg|181224] and [b:Death Angel|2067180|Death Angel|Linda Howard|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1320416833s/2067180.jpg|2072408] but even a step beyond those in the lack of relationship development. I loved both of those books because even though those heroes were assassins and such, you got to spend a lot of time with them and feel their love for the heroine grow. Here not so much. I guess we readers are just going to have to accept that LH is moving solidly into the mystery/suspense section of the bookstore.

HTML:NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From Linda Howard comes a thrilling and sensual new novel of romance, suspense, intrigue . . . and memories that can kill. Lizette Henry wakes up one morning and makes a terrifying discovery: She doesn’t recognize the face she sees in the mirror. She remembers what she looks like, but her reflection is someone else’s. To add to the shock, two years seem to have disappeared from her life. Someone has gone to great and inexplicable lengths to keep those missing years hidden forever. But the past always finds a way to return. Strange memories soon begin to surface and, along with them, some unusual skills and talents that Lizette hasn’t a clue about acquiring. Sensing that she’s being monitored, Lizette suddenly knows how to search for bugs in her house and tracking devices in her car. What’s more, she can elude surveillance—like a trained agent. Enter a mysterious and seductive stranger named Xavier, who claims he wants to help—but who triggers disturbing images of an unspeakable crime of which Lizette may or may not be the perpetrator. With memories returning, she suddenly becomes a target of anonymous assassins. On the run with nowhere to hide, Lizette has no choice but to rely on Xavier, a strong and magnetic man she doesn’t trust, with a powerful attraction she cannot resist. As murky waters become clear, Lizette confronts a conspiracy that is treacherous and far-reaching and a truth that, once revealed, may silence her and Xavier once and for all. Praise for Shadow Woman “Dazzling . . . From the opening line, [Shadow Woman] will grab readers and take them on an exhilarating and terrifying adventure!”—RT Book Reviews “Fast-paced, intricately detailed romantic suspense . . . Readers won’t want to put it down until the extraordinary conclusion. . . . Highly recommended.”—Fresh Fiction “An intriguing plot and captivating characters [with] lots of drama, tension, intrigue and suspense.”—The Star-Ledger. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Lizette Henry awakens one morning to discover that she has lost two years of her life. She soon finds herself on the run from anonymous assassins sent to ensure that the secrets she holds remain forgotten forever.
Along with Sandra Brown and Nora Roberts, Linda Howard is one of the queens of the romantic suspense genre. Unfortunately, Shadow Woman is not one of the better examples of her work.
To begin with, the conspiracy plot fails to live up to the tremendous potential established in the incredible prologue. This is mainly due to the repetitious and overly detailed descriptions related to the return of Lizzie's memories and her attempts to outrun her pursuers.
On the romance front, Lizzie and Xavier's relationship is woefully underdeveloped. In fact, the entire book is more of a thriller than RS as the couple barely share any scenes together until the end of the book.
Despite these issues, the tension and suspense of the story are exciting and one cannot help rooting for Lizzie.
All in all, Shadow Woman will appeal to readers who enjoy a good conspiracy theory but may disappoint those more interested in a good mix of romance and suspense. (
