Forgotten Shadow Lords, 1

Adreanna

My world has always been myself and my twin sister in our gothic home at Sinner’s End near the graveyard beyond our small town. I’m the responsible one. She’s the party girl. But I know it's a bad idea when she drags me to Harken, the refurbished asylum-turned-dance club run by the most dangerous man in the city everyone is obsessed with.
I know, and I still go.
But I don’t walk away unscathed.
None of us do.

Mana

Forget-Me-Knot. That’s the reason people come to my club. To drink the demon aqua vitae on offer and release their cares on the pithy lives they live from sunrise until sunset.
The hours I spend strapped to a chair, filling vial after vial with my own blood to provide their entertainment, locked to this plane in a deal I should never have made. The endless torment I hate, until I meet her.
Adreanna.
The human I want to ruin with every strand that connects me to this realm. But she also has the power to shatter me—if she chooses to use it.


Kaleb

Taking the bartending job at Harken was a no-brainer. I needed the cash, and the night hours freed my time to live it up. But between the freaky AF owner of the asylum and the girl I can’t take my eyes off, I’m screwed before everything turns weird.
Before I end up in a twisted quartet where I don’t have to be touched to experience pleasure or pain.
I end up kneeling for a creature I don’t want to worship.
All for the girl I’ll give everything for…even when I discover a part of myself that’s more terrifying than all the monsters Harken has to offer.

Lethe

I don’t know where I came from. I don’t know my own name, only the one given me by Harken’s monstrous owner. But my purpose in this place is clear: protect the woman we all obsess over with my dying breath.
Let her come to no harm.
Give her every part of myself, even if it means tarnishing the purity inside me.
I am the opposite of all Harken stands for, but the moment I touch Adreanna something awakens inside me I cannot—and will not—control.
Even if it means twisting my purpose and making her mine, no matter the consequences.
And those can be deadly.

Bowen

This world will end by my hand. I’ve known it since I fell, but I am not the only Fallen in Harken. Pity the other doesn’t recognize his face in the mirror or know his own name.
I am the end, the delusion, and the never-ending darkness. All will come to know their fate through me.
Harken’s stones will fall silent. Blood will flow.
One will die.
One will live.
One will rise above all.
And she will reign.

Excerpt:

“Did I not do a good enough job last night?”

The voice in the corner of my room has a different kind of scream choking up my throat.

“Fucking asshole!” I yell, throwing my bedside lamp at Kaleb’s head.

He ducks without care, his gaze never leaving my form. His eyes darken before I realize I am naked. Ripping the sheet up, I cover my chest while continuing to glare at him.

“I came to see if you were okay,” he explains. “But this whole house smells of sex and cum, and I can’t fucking think straight.”

“And that is my problem, how?” I’m pissed at him for the omission I am just remembering, not matter how well he fucked me last night.

“I had the best sex of my life last night,” he says angrily. “My knees were weak for over an hour after pounding the best pussy I have ever eaten or fucked. And you fell asleep with a vibrator in your pussy.”

“Inside?”

“I let you sleep for an hour before I couldn’t stand it. I had to take it out.”

“So now you not only violate me while I am awake but asleep as well?”

Swinging my legs, I climb out of bed and move to the bathroom so I can finally brush my damn teeth. I leave the sheet behind, he’s already seen me naked after all, and I don’t have the mental capacity to care or argue with him right now. My entire life has been turned upside down in less than twenty-four fucking hours and I just need a moment of normal.

“Don’t walk away from me, Addi,” he growls behind me but I ignore him.

It only takes him a few seconds before he invades my space once more. I watch him from the corner of my eye. He is still the gorgeous man that swept me off my feet so easily, someone I wanted to get to know better, perhaps even build a life with. But now he is also the man that reminds me of a fucked-up deal I still don’t understand. One thing I am certain of is that Mana isn’t going to let either of us go.

“I need to know,” he says softly.

“Know what?” I ask after spitting out my toothpaste and starting to adjust the water flow and heat in the shower.

Turning me around, he grabs me by the throat and walks me into the shower until my back hits the tiles. A woosh of air leaves me. His grip is firm but not harsh or constricting. His glare on the other hand is deathly.

“I want to know why the woman I fucked like a goddamned animal was asleep with a vibrator inside her pussy three hours later.”

He is pissed off. Very. I wonder what he will do if I refuse to answer him. Where did that thought come from? All of this is so out of character for me it’s not even a little bit funny. I would never let any man touch me or talk to me like this. Much less degrade me and share me like Kaleb and Mana did last night. What the fuck is wrong with me right now?

Not that my thoughts change my actions. Instead of answering Kaleb, I shake my head.

“Did I not fuck you hard enough?” he roars punching the tile beside my head. I don’t even flinch. Somehow I know Kaleb won’t ever hurt me. Even when he’s like this. Fury rages within him. “Was what Mana did and what I did not enough to sate and satisfy you? Do you need more? Tell me now.”

His gaze is crazed as he scans my face for any kind of truth. After long moments he releases me, scrubbing his hand over his face.

“I can’t let you go,” he murmurs. “I’ve never been so obsessed about anything in my life but with you, it’s like a fucking disease. Even if I have to share you with Mana, I will keep you.”

A shudder works its way through me at the vehemence behind his words. He is both pained and determined and it’s the mixture that has me telling him the truth.

“I had a dream,” I say softly, still standing with my back against the wall. “You and Mana. Hands, cocks, lips. I woke up needy all over again even if I shouldn’t.”

“And now?” he asks, his voice low as he roves his ravenous gaze over me.

A whimper falls from lips unbidden as I rub my thighs together.

In the blink of an eye, Kaleb has me on my knees, his hands wrapped rashly in my hair. He pushes his soaking jeans down his hips to free his cock before prodding at my lips. Not for a single second do I ever contemplate pushing him away, fighting him, or saying no. I want this, I want him.

A fantastic story
Written by Izzy N on 3rd May 2025

This book is the start of a series and the author has created a fascinating fantasy world. The setting is dark and twisted as are some of the characters and plot twists. I liked the characters and the ways they learn new things about themselves and each other whilst still being fiesty, sarcastic and charismatic. Each character has their own quirks and it is interesting to see how those quirks affect the story. I am already drawn in to read more in this series in the future. I am excited to see what happens with Emma.

4/5
It's Good
Written by Martylou on 30th Apr 2025

This is a complicated, twisty, dark(ish) story with very complex characters, and an interesting plot that's unique enough to be engaging. It's well-written and sometimes not perfect, but it's an entertaining read.

5/5
Dark and Twisty, Convoluted
Written by JennT on 30th Apr 2025

Addi’s life has its challenges, but it’s about to get turned completely upside down. She’s attracted the attention of Mana, the king of Harken’s Asylum, as well as the those around him: Kaleb, a human(?), Bowen, a fallen Angel by choice and Lethe, who has Fallen with a purpose. It took me a bit to get into this book - the characters confused and didn’t immediately engage me, but once I got into it, I was in for taboo and twisted ride. A solid read.

5/5

A dark paranormal read.
Written by Roberta R on 30th Apr 2025

This book is very dark along with being very steamy. It is enjoyable as well as thought provoking. Would have liked to have it longer to build more background for all characters. It was a little hard to get into and confusing but once you understand who is who and what they do it is better. About half way through it starts to make some sense and then it is hard to put down.

5/5
wow
Written by Diana A on 30th Apr 2025

At some points I was like "what am I reading?" but I just kept going because I was not able to stop. It is a dark weird romance story, not something that I would reach directly for, but I was pleased by reading it. Again, I don't think it will be the cup of tea of everybody, but it was nice to read something different from my usual books.

5/5
Good and naughty read
Written by Darkangelkaw on 30th Apr 2025

This read is very creative and wild. I love how Mana, Kaleb, Bowen and Leithe all had their own style of love for Addie. Addie is a strong character who only gets stronger when she realizes she loves them back.

Sinner's end
Written by Nicole V on 30th Apr 2025

Wow this is truly dark and twisted. In the beginning I was completely confused. I won't lie there still some aspects that confuse me. That the steam in this book truly makes up for all the confusion. Lethe is my favorite. Followed by Kaleb, Bowen and lastly Mana. I would love to be Addi. I can't wait for more.

4/5
A must-read for dark paranormal lovers
Written by Vikki_Lynn on 30th Apr 2025

This book does not shy away from the shadows—it fully embraces them. It’s sensual, thrilling, and unrelentingly dark, with an intricate plot that keeps you on edge. The tension is palpable, the emotions raw, and the supernatural elements make it an irresistible read for fans of twisted, otherworldly romance. A must-read for dark paranormal lovers who crave obsession, danger, and a FMC that holds the fate of monsters in her hands.

Soo good
Written by Jamee h on 30th Apr 2025

This book was a lot different than I thought it was going to be. But it was way better than I thought it would be. It is very well written. I definitely recommend reading this.

Sinner's End!
Written by Mary on 30th Apr 2025

WOW! This is dark with debauchery, chilling aspects, erotic and why choose. Yes, there are possible triggers and everything is not as it seems. The story is about Adreanna, who they fondly call her Addi, Kaleb, Mana, Lethe and Bowen. She is labeled the "good sister" and she is drawn to the four men and they to her. This is an intriguing "why choose" story with gothic vibes and a gloomy setting. The passionate scenes are exactly what you would anticipate from the vibe and tone of the story. I enjoyed the story, love the characters and was intrigued by the epilogue.

4/5
Great New Series

Dark romance for the win
Written by Sarah ES on 30th Apr 2025

All I can say is wow!!! This is a very dark and twisted book with a HEA and 4 dark anti-heroes!! Each of the men in this book is twisted and dark in their own way. All 4 of them find themselves obsessed or in love with Adreanna. Adreanna makes an agreement with Mana without realizing what she has agreed to, and from there the book quickly evolves into an orgy between the 5 main characters. I had a hard time putting this book down because it was so twisted, but in the best possible ways!! I will definitely be contemplating this book for awhile as it really made me think!!

4/5

Great Read
Written by turtlegirl28 on 30th Apr 2025

This book has you hooked on the twisted things in the beginning. The way her sister acts is terrible. She is just trying to do what she can to protect her sister and him. The things they she goes thru is scary. The twists and turns are a definite page turner.

4/5
The Darkness Sucks You In
Written by Luv2Read17 on 30th Apr 2025

This story is very unique, at least from anything I have ever read. The darkness is thick and the characters each have their own torments. Kaleb, Mana, Lethe, and Bowen are all drawn to Adreana but each for different reasons. I'm hoping that we get more of the backstory to the five main characters. I enjoyed reading this; it's definitely different.

5/5
I’m gonna go sit in the corner now…..
Written by Smillican on 30th Apr 2025

The first book in the Forgotten Shadow Lords. Paranormal horror with smutmance? Abso-freaking-lutely!!! Angels and demons, oooooofta, hot. From the start, I was hooked! This story had me by the tail. Instantly drawn to find out what’s next between Adreanna and the boys, uh hmmm, beings.. Most definitely worth the read!

5/5
There will be Death
Written by DariaB on 30th Apr 2025

There will be Death This definitely checked some dark boxes, and I really liked all the characters. Twins only is appearance. Angels and demons don't mix they say. The fallen and broken though? The detailed drama gives you the insight, definitely heat and spice as we follow the story of the players. Oh I really liked the "daddy" The smart one stomps her ways into his domain like a fish in the hook. Puffed up with what she isn't going to do. Carefully he placed his words. One word and all she knows changes. Them... well they can't seem to get along and because of that a few things go to hell (no pun intended) lol I very much enjoyed this and hope it's a second book coming

5/5
Great book--this series is going to be amazing
Written by Andrea R on 30th Apr 2025

I really loved this story and can't wait for this series to unfold. The writer delivered an epic story and just hooked me almost from the very beginning. I really am excited to see where it goes from here.

5/5
Dark and sexy
Written by A Schofield on 30th Apr 2025

This is a very dark book, so you will need to read the triggers first. This is one hot story that practically sets the pages alight. I liked Addi as she stood up to her guys and didn’t back down. It seems that most books have siblings getting on with each other, when it is not always the case. I liked the dynamic between her and her sister as it seemed more real. This book has set the stage for a very interesting series This is a good 5 star read.

5/5
