Product Description
Stormwalker Janet Begay returns home only to have the ground collapse beneath her - literally. After tumbling two hundred feet underground, Janet is rescued by her dragon boyfriend, Mick. But something dark touches Mick while in the sinkhole - and Janet might lose him forever unless she recruits the most unlikely of allies to stop the growing shadow.

Book three in the Stormwalker series starts with a bang and once again we're thrown into the chaos and danger and excitement of Janet's life. It's brilliant.
As the blurb on amazon says, this book is about Mick saving Janet (and Nash) from a chasm that opens up on the road beneath then, not knowing that he has become ensnared by the clutches of some form of evil...and it's up to Janet, assisted by their friends, to save him and once again prevent a vortex that could annihilate life from opening up. Just another day in Janet's not-so-ordinary life, then...
Yes it's all action, adventure and danger, with some very hot sex scenes featuring Janet and Mick (with the magic mirror playing voyeur; a brilliant character, that is very relevant in this book), but on top, we see all the people who are so important to Janet. I particularly loved how romantic, sweet and protective Mick was in this tale before he turned into the biggest, meanest, fire-breathing dragon.
Janet and Mick are still going strong, and by the end of the book they get even stronger, and I was really happy at an event that takes place not long into the book, that comes to its conclusion whilst they are in the gravest of danger, and literally saves Mick's life. I can't say more, or I'd give the heart of the book away.
Maya and Nash are still fighting for dominance, which is a bit disappointing, as in book 2.5 which appears in the maxi-novella Double-Hexed, in the anthology Hexed (see separate review), Nash appeared to literally have some sense knocked into him and had rushed off after an angry Maya.
Sweet old Fremont is there, as are Jamison, the magic mirror in large quantities, Coyote, Cassandra and Pamela (now a settled-down couple), but strangely and disappointingly, no Ansel, the Nightwalker, who appeared quite a bit in the novella. Gabrielle goes from being a crazy stalker daughter-of-an-evil-Beneath-goddess to a very changed person, though the entire events in this tale are down to her twisted thinking and planning. Again, I can't say more without spoiling the tale, other than that she has good taste in men, and is the cause of a cat-fight.
Add to that the ending of this novel, and for me, this book is a 5* Keeper. I can't wait for the next, as things only get better for Janet and Mick, and hopefully for Nash and Maya who deserve a HEA themselves (Janet managed to play relationship counsellor in the midst of all of the mayhem!).
Enjoy!

This is a great addition to the series and Janet Begay is fast growing on me, although Mercy Thomson remains my current favorite Native American character to date, I can see competition for the pole position in the near future. Any series that can faithfully portray Coyote as the occasional ally yet mysterious trickster and then deftly set him up for what I hope is some required ass kicking is always going to get my vote.
From the initial shock of having the ground disappear beneath her wheels to the final showdown this book is fast paced, yet also shows how each characters response determines the final outcome. No series works for me unless there are also strong secondary characters and it is the development of the secondary or even background characters such as Grandmother, Gabrielle, the dragon Nick and even the Hotel itself (to name a few) that made this book such an enjoyable feast. Oh but an honoree mention must also go to the talking mirror for comic relief as well as being integral to events in this captivating story. I would recommend the whole series instead of just this book as each succeeding book manages to enhance my enjoyment of the whole series.

Originally posted at WickedLilPixie Reviews
Shadow Walker is the third book in Allyson James's Stormwalker series and we meet up with Stormwalker Janet Begay and Mick Burns soon after Firewalker ended. Janet awakens something while she is out at Canyon de Chelly taking photographs, something rather frightening. While Sheriff Nash Jones is hot on Janet Begay's trail speeding down the highway, a giant sinkhole sucks them both up. Mick saves the day, by rescuing both Janet and Nash, but that's just the beginning of what's in store for Janet and the Gang. After a visit to Janet's Crossroads Hotel by the new Hopi County safety inspector in town, and a dramatic drop in by Janet's half-sister, we realize the story has only begun.
As with the previous two books, Shadow Walker has a nice and strong mystery plot line. Mick has started acting distant and it's making Janet's heart ache. Janet is determined to find out what is going on, and it also makes her analyze and be honest with herself on just how much Mick means to her. In addition, mysterious wonky things are happening to the structure of her hotel, and she is tasked with calling on her friends to help her get her hotel back up to code. Pretty soon, so much shenanigans is going on around Janet that all of the secondary characters we have grown to love are helping Janet with Mick and her hotel. We get a nice dose of Janet's Grandmother in this one, and I like what Ms. James is doing with Janet's newfound sister, Gabrielle. And the story wouldn't be complete without our favorite Magic Mirror, "oh girlfriend"!
I had a rough time staying as connected to this one as I did the previous two books. I wish I could pinpoint why. I had to sit on this for a bit before I could write up my opinion. The first third of the book seemed as thought it was going somewhere then the middle of the book just fell apart for me with regards to pacing and direction. Then the last third of the book the pace picked up again and I was back in the game. Even though I didn't love this one as much as the first two, I am still so very eager to find out what happens next with Janet, Mick, and Gabrielle!
All in all, I do believe this series is a strong Urban Fantasy series with romantic elements and would recommend it to UFR fans.

great romantic urban fantasy
7 Jun 2011
Format:Mass Market Paperback
In a high speed chase Sheriff Nash Jones pursues Janet Begay. However his SUV and her motorcycle fall through a suddenly humongous sinkhole filled with magic and ghosts. With no storms nearby that she can tap into and with Nash apparently unconscious, she tries to mentally call out to her lover Mick Burns the dragon Firewalker and her Crossroads Hotel manager Cassandra the Wiccan for rescue.
Mick frees the trapped pair. Ted Wingate the new Hopi County safety inspector insists the historical hotel is unsafe. Hybrid Apache-hell goddess Gabrielle covets Janet's Stormwalker power so she starts with an assault of the hotel. At the same time a Shadow Walker seeks her and Mick who apparently has become enthralled as a slave to an evil witch. Janet knows all the tsuris she and her friends suddenly face is caused by the Shadow Walker.
This is a great Stormwalker romantic urban fantasy though the emphasis is dramatically on the life and death struggles. Fast-paced yet very twisty, the story line bewitches the audience even more than the Shadow Walker does Mick. Set aside time as Allyson James provides sub-genre fans with one of the best entries of the year.

Shadow Walker by Allyson James
Paranormal Romance- June 7th, 2011
4 ½ stars
Janet Begay is a powerful Storm Walker. She can control the earth and the air, but none of these powers can help her when she is followed by the local police officer and they are both swallowed by the sudden appearance of a magical cavern. It is up to her boyfriend, Mick, a dragon shifter to come to their rescue. But after saving her, she notices that his personality has changed. Mick runs hot then cold and he forgets things. What is going on? And what could possibly be strong enough to change her Mick? She doesn't feel like she knows him anymore. When he is spotted with a mysterious woman, Janet has had enough! She will enlist help from her friends and other dragon shifters in a desperate bid to discover the truth.
The story has a strong mystery plot line; I loved reading about Janet trying to find out what has happened to Mick. I liked that she asked help from other dragon shifters and reading about them made we want to know more. I also enjoyed Janet's friends. Even though they all have different personalities, you just know that they will be there for each other. There are some humorous scenes that were fun to read. This book also had an intriguing mystery about Janet's hotel which keeps falling apart and needs constant repair, and I liked reading how it intertwined cleverly into the plot. Janet herself is very likeable and gutsy but never over-confident and cocky. She's someone you would like to have guarding your back. And Mick is his usual sexy self.
This was a wonderful read. Although not my favorite in the series, it is certainly a worthy installment. Fans will not be disappointed!
