Either I defeat the monster, or I become the monster.

As if being locked up in the crazy house wasn’t bad enough, I wake up to discover that the person I trust most in the world just morphed into a bloodthirsty monster. My only chance for escape comes in the form of two women calling out from within a shimmering tunnel. So, it's either stick around and get murdered or jump through some kind of portal. And there I was thinking my new meds were working.

I take the option that doesn’t involve dying and find myself ushered into an ancient society of witches. Who me, a witch? Well, that sure explains a few things. I'm given a choice: I can either go it alone and take my chances or join their magical training program. The problem being I didn't even know I had magic, never mind the kind that can open a doorway between realms. But that’s exactly why I’m being hunted by a Fae demon looking to settle an old score. Now, I either find a way to defeat him or he’ll be using my magic to bring in the rest of his kind. If that happens, it won’t only mean the end for the world of witches. It’ll mean the end of the world.

The Shadow Order is a fast-paced, unpredictable new urban fantasy that readers are calling “amazing,” “with strong female leads,” and “full of excitement!” If you like snarky kickass heroines, fast-paced action, magic, witchcraft and romance, then grab it today!

Loved the story line. Took a little bit to get into but was worth the wait. No sex just a bit of kissing. Good reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars A new mix of powers for a new order of witches
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2023

The tale of magic and magic users is as old as time. A new version of something that came from a mixed experimentation to gain more power, and the ways that experiment became something so much more…always a winner, especially with those of us that never quite fit in. The characters are clear, concise, and imaginative, with traits that pull you in quickly. The world building becomes more concise and clearly defined as the story is told. Looking forward to the next one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Color me blown away!

I've read a lot of "book ones" in the past year... book #1 in a series, etc. Not many have made me think "I've GOT to read the next one!"... not many, except for "The Shadow Order". This book sucked me in and left me wanting more.

As a Wiccan of over 30 years, it's refreshing to see an author who knows a Gardnerian from a Dianic Witch. It made the story seem more grounded for me, which made this a VERY easy book to read.

Impressive! Five stars!

Amaya did not know where she cane from or even her name. She had spent the last eight years in a mental institution. One night everything changed. What she is finding hard to believe is that she is a witch.

I purchased and listened to this on Audible books.
I put this Audible book on this morning and kept listening until the end. Then went and got book 2, which I will start after I post my review. We start out with a young girl who is in a psychiatric facility. She just was told aftermath years there that she has gotten so much better that the next week she will move to a Out patient facility, but that night everything goes wrong when her Dr. goes on a killing rampage. Narrator does a very good job with the various characters voices and the entire storyline.

5.0 out of 5 stars The gangs back..and they brought friends
Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2021

Well, my favorite characters are back and they're just as kick butt and wonderfully snarky as ever. The lead for this adventure is Amaya and she's a great mix of Cassie's snark and Julia's kindness. Amaya's so wonderfully written that I actually spent the first half of the book ticked off at the old gang for not being more supportive of her.
This story Arc is tied into this authors previous storylines but still manages to bring a fresh new adventure with great villains from other worlds and new heroes and heroines to fight them. I also love how there are new powers and strengths developed in these characters to fight the latest threat to humanity.

A paranormal story with lots of interesting theories and features from that genre . Similar to other paranormal stories where the hero/heroine is unaware of their background, gets put into a school or training situation, and faces challenges and choices of good or evil.

Amaya had been in a mental hospital since she was sixteen, she is now 22 and just received the news that she will be going to a halfway house. Then danger strikes and people are killed, Amaya is swept away by the shadow order. This story is about Amaya trying to figure out how she fits in and what she is. A thrilling story that keeps you flipping the pages to see what will happen next. The author has built a world of humans and supernaturals. A group of supernaturals find children who have special abilities and bring them to their facility to train them. I truly enjoyed this book and cannot wait to see what the author will write next. I would recommend this book to all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why me? How do I do it?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 29, 2023

Truly, a cracking good yarn that enforces that all things/beings etc can be good or evil. Even the most talented can stray into the evil side. The Shadow Order was my first introduction to the creations of J S Malcom and typically it has a back story over several other series, this is not my first time nor will it be my last. Solution go back to the very beginning with Autumn Winters and work my way through all the events that accumulated into The Shadow Order. TTFN
