~~

A supernatural healer, Mira escapes a trial of her peers only to be sent on an impossible mission: Rescue her scientist father from a madman who's using him to create bio-weapons. But she's no spy. On her own, with no real clues, she isn't sure where to turn.

Part of a covert task force searching for a missing government scientist, Jameson is tasked with staring at a laboratory building day in and day out. The boredom is overwhelming until Mira, a woman he cannot forget, shows up in a place she should never be.

Forced together by circumstance, Mira and Jameson enter an adventure that will push them to their limits - and quite possibly beyond.

The five full-length 2096 novels in reading order are Justice Incarnate, Invasion of Justice, Veil of Justice, Tracking Shadows, and now Shadows to Light.

"Move over Lara Croft--Jaden Michaels is the quintessential heroine of the 21st century, full of heart and totally lethal!" -- Bestselling romantic suspense author Debra Webb for Justice Incarnate

"I enjoy this author's talent for detail in her plots, which adds to her futuristic settings and the depth of a mystery being unraveled. But, it is the witty banter between her characters, and artful telling of a love story that makes Ms. Black one of my favorite authors." -- Lisa Phillips, author of Obsession Everlasting, Knight Everlasting and Rogue Everlasting on Invasion of Justice

"Another great story by Regan Black. Not only a bang-up mystery/thriller, but a nice love story, too...story is outstanding. An overall great read!" --Kat Thompson 5/5 stars for Veil of Justice

"If you're a fan of old 1940's detective novels, or if you like film noir...I believe you'll like Tracking Shadows...it's just that flavor kick that's so unusual, I predict you'll want to come back for more." -- 5/5 stars from the Bookish Dame on Tracking Shadows

Being a new reader to Regan Black's series, I found the book gripping and a great continuation of the short story that intrigued me to read it in the first place.
The book is set at a good pace, the characters and plot are well rounded and I enjoyed reading it and suggesting it to others.
I like Mira and I think that if I were the character I would be as intrigued with finding more out about myself as she was and also exploring what her powers could grow into and also reconnecting with her father and mother was a bonus.

Review by: Jordan Bailey on Dec. 06, 2011 :
Shadows to Light is an excellent addition to Ms. Black's 2096 collection and a fully satisfying stand-alone novel.

Mira isn't your average nurse - she's a woman blessed with a healing gift shared by few others. When an unknown enemy decides her abilities are too valuable to ignore, Mira finds herself in over her head.

Jameson is good at his job - blending in, hunting down the bad guys. But when the woman he never forgot shows up in the middle of his latest stakeout, Jameson finds his ability to close the case mattering more than ever.

Ms. Black has delivered another thrilling urban adventure with all of the intrigues, humor, and passion she's known for. A stunning cast, layered plot, and imaginative universe make Shadows to Light a book you'll be unable to put down.
