title: Shadow of Perception (Book 2 CORE Shadow Trilogy)
author:  Kristine Mason 
description: I didnt pick up my first romance novel until I was in my late twenties. Immediately hooked, I read a bazillion books before deciding to write one of my own. After the birth of my first son I needed something to keep my mind from turning to mush, and Sesame Street wasnt cutting it. While that first book will never see the light of day, something good came from writing it. I realized my passion, and found a career I love. When Im not writing contemporary romances and dark, romantic suspense novels (or reading them!) Im chasing after my four kids and two neurotic dogs.

  Anne Greene’s archaeological adventure is a fast-paced romantic mystery that
  kept me hooked until the very last page. Her multi-layered characters with
  noteworthy quirks and attributes added depth and interest at every turn. I
  found myself rooting for the romance sparked between Nicole and Josh and loved
  the interplay of faith between them. Looking forward to the sequel!

  Anne Greene’s Shadow of the Dagger grips the reader with tension heightened in
  each scene until it explodes in a thrilling climax. But readers will also be
  gratified by the author’s in-depth knowledge of Turkey’s geography, history,
  and culture carefully woven into the fabric of the novel.
