The Immortal Guardians protect the innocent in secret. Sometimes the secret gets out...The sixth book in the Immortal Guardians series tells the story of Ethan, an Immortal with a unique gift and Heather, a gifted one.
U.S. law enforcement agent Heather Lane can read minds. But not the future. The dream of battle and blood that recurs every night must be a fluke, some obscure terror from her own mind. What its significance might be, she can’t guess: an attack from seven psychotic vampires at once, only separated from nightmare by an eighth very different immortal. A handsome, brave man fighting at her side, a man she misses when she wakes.
Then the dream comes true. Heather is flung into a war between predators and protectors of humanity, the man from her dreams beside her again. Except now that she’s awake, she isn’t sure she can trust Ethan, or the shadow organization he represents. The U.S. military doesn’t trust either of them. But against an onslaught of evil like the one that’s coming, it will take everything they have just to survive...
Heather Lane has been dreaming about meeting Ethan for a year now. She’s been having the same dream over and over again about a man slaying creatures with fangs. Heather thinks she must be going crazy. Vampires don’t exist in her world. Heather may be able to read minds but as far as she’s concerned there are no supernatural creatures out there.
When Ethan saves Heather from a group of savage vampires, he thinks it must be a coincidence meeting her but then he finds out about her gift. It can’t be a coincidence that Heather has been dreaming about him or the circumstances under which they met. The only thing he knows for sure is that will do everything to protect her.
Shadows Strike was so different from the other books in the series!!! I had so much fun reading it mostly because I had no idea what was going to happen. Expect the unexpected. There were so many things going on: the enemies of the Immortal Guardians aren’t only the vampires anymore but member of the Others too.
Heather and Ethan were a very dynamic couple. They were strong, determined, loyal and honest. I loved how Heather, although full of doubts in the beginning, accepted Ethan’s world.
What I also loved, were the secondary characters: Zach and Lisette, Seth, David, Marcus and Ami and their baby girl, Adira, Aidan, Darnell, Sheldon, Tracy, Ed and so many more. I especially liked Jared, a new character. Jared is Zach’s cousin and apparently now an ex member of the Others. I really want to find out more about him. Maybe he will be the next one to get a story although I’m hoping it will be Seth. Shadows Strikes was the ultimate “Seth scenes” book. We got so many scenes with him and Adira. They were INSANELY incredible.
Ethan and Heather’s book was an exceptional addition to the Immortal Guardians series. They both were amazing main characters and an explosive couple.
I don’t know who is next but I’m hoping it’s Seth or Aidan. I felt really sorry for the poor fellow. Or maybe it will be Jared. I have no idea who is next but I’ll definitely be reading it.
Highly recommended!

Ooh, I haven't heard of this series, but it sounds like a lot of fun! I hope you get a book about Seth soon. :)
