Shadowed Designs: A Shadow Defense Security Thriller Book 7 by Mavery Ellscott

 

Shadowed Designs: A Shadow Defense Security Thriller Book 7Shadowed Designs: A Shadow Defense Security Thriller Book 7 by Mavery Ellscott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is one of my favorite series to read and this author gets better with every book. This can be read as a standalone but you'd be missing out on some pivotal characters that would make this more understandable.

There is a lot that I would love to say about this book but I really can't say much without giving it away. I will tell you to prepare to read this in one sitting or you'll be finding ways to revamp your schedule so that you can. This is fast paced, intense, suspenseful action with Olivia, Josh, and their K-9 trying to bury the people in the past and look forward to the future.

I look forward to more from this author!

Shadowed Intentions: A Shadow Defense Security Thriller Book 6 by Mavery Ellscott

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely love this series!! There is so much mystery, intrigue, and thrilling adventures throughout. I recommend reading these books in order, even though each book is technically a stand-alone. There are characters who pop in and out that you'll want to know more about.

This story is no different than the others in terms of mystery, suspense, and adventure. Talia and Olivia are the focused characters in this story. A creep that's been after Olivia for years has resurfaced and Talia needs to keep her safe. Talia was on a much needed vacation with Kenjiro until they received this word and now they are rushing Olivia to a safehouse.

There is drama, mystery, intrigue, romance, and some light humor to keep you on your toes. I highly recommend this read!

Shadowed Alliances: A Shadow Defense Security Thriller Book 5 by Mavery Ellscott

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have been eagerly awaiting this newest addition to this series!! This is one of my all-time favorite book series!

Javier is the focus of this story with his Shadow Defense Security team mentioned from time to time in the background. It's not essential that you read the previous books before this one but it might clear up who some of the players are as the series does build on itself. Javier is an ex-Navy Seal who is trying to help Emery take down a murderer and to save Emery's life.

This book is full of action, some romance, and twists and turns that you may not see coming. There were a few moments where things weren't really clear as to what was happening and I have some lingering questions about certain events that took place that weren't cleared up. Hopefully they'll be addressed in future books. Also, I felt that this one ended somewhat abruptly, maybe because I was waiting on clarification on aforementioned events.

I'm excited about the next book to come and look forward to reading more from this author.

Shadowed Storm: A Shadow Defense Security Thriller Book 4 (Shadow Defense Security Series) by Mavery Ellscott

 

Shadowed Storm (Shadow Defense Security, #4)Shadowed Storm by Mavery Ellscott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This entire series is a must read!! Each of these books *could* be read as stand alones, but you're cheating yourself if you don't read them all! There is an overarching theme that travels through each book, as well as several of the characters, so I highly recommend it.

There is non-stop action when Alexis discovers that her former research professor is about to unleash a strain of algae that could wipe out the world through the water supply. She will stop at nothing to confront him with this and try to put a stop to his actions. It's not long before Alexis learns that she's being pursued by people trying to stop her from stopping the exposure of this corruption.

Seb is an ex-Navy SEAL that is set out to protect Alexis on her endeavors. He's trying to keep her safe while she's worried about keeping him and his friends safe. They make a great team!

I want to talk about the ending but I won't because I don't want to ruin anything for anyone. However, Ms. Mavery Ellscott, if you are reading this, please get book #5 out ASAP! :)

Shadowed Deception: A Psychological Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Series) by Mavery Ellscott

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.75 stars

I am really enjoying this series and am hoping that there will be more books to enjoy! This author is making her way to my favorites list also. I enjoy her writing style and the stories that she weaves.

This book could be read as a stand alone but I would recommend you starting at the beginning of the series to get the full story on how Shadow Defense came to be.

This story started off just a tad slow for me but that was short-lived. I soon found myself lost in the story and read this all in one setting. There is a lot of action and suspense with a little bit of romance thrown in. You'll find yourself loving a character then hating them the next page. This book does discuss some difficult issues so use caution if this would bother you.

A great read that goes by quickly!

Shadowed Obsession (Shadow Defense Security Series Book 1) by Mavery Ellscott

 

Shadowed Obsession: An Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Series Book 1)Shadowed Obsession: An Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller by Mavery Ellscott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my kind of book right here!!! Give me a Navy SEAL or any other military character and a psychological maniac on the loose and weave some words together and you've got me hooked!!!

Keira O'Ryan is a PR rep and she loves her job. She's works with various entertainers so when a stalker shows up after her, it's not completely surprising. Not to mention that college ex-boyfriend who got really creepy. After receiving a series of photos on her phone, she starts to become even more alarmed.

Cade Hartford and a few of his retired military buddies run a security firm. He's recently moved in next door to Keira and senses that something is up with her. When she comes to him confessing the pictures and the strange happenings going on, Cade knows that he has to jump in and do something to be a great neighbor.

There are many things I want to say about this book but I'm not going to say much as to not ruin anything about it. Just know that if you're into a good psychological thriller, look no further than this book! It kept my attention all afternoon and I read it in one setting. The writing is very well done and the there are a few twists and turns that try to throw the reader off track (as well as the detectives). I did have it figured out pretty early but a few times I questioned whether I was right or not due to the the twists and turns. It wasn't quite as I suspected though! Buckle up and enjoy this read! I've already downloaded the prequel to this book and I look forward to reading it and future books by this author soon!!
