Shadows of the Past by Brandy L. Rivers

The fourth installment of The Others of Edenton, we continue on with Amethyst's story. This book picks up almost exactly where Shadows Fall ends. An ancient enemy wants Amethyst and no one will let him have it.
I really liked the chemistry between Amethyst and Hayden. It was nice to see him take the stick out of his rear and not be such a hard arse. Of course Jess, Fallon, and the others all make several appearances as well.
Due to Amethyst being a Nymph, there were a lot more sex scenes in this book than the other three, and Brandy sure got creative with how they were done.
The only real problem I had with the story was that it was very anticlimatic. There's this whole build up on the enemy and killing him, that I was hoping there would be a scene like the fight with Malachi. But there wasn't. In fact this Shadow Fae seemed to be the easiest thing to kill.
I still loved the story though even with it's lack of a final battle and of course the characters who now sort of feel like friends. I look forward to reading the next installment of this series.
I give this book 4 of 5 paws
