Litfuse Review- Through the Shadows by Karen Barnett

Hey again! I told you I had a lot to review these days! Another from the lovely Karen Barnett is here, and it's fabulous!

*Summary*

As San Francisco rises from the ashes, an age-old battle looms between corruption and the promise of new beginnings.

The devastating earthquake is just two years past, but the city of San Francisco is still trying to recover. Destruction of this magnitude is not so easy to overcome-and neither are the past regrets shadowing Elizabeth King’s hopeful future.

Hoping to right her wrongs, Elizabeth dedicates herself to helping girls rescued from slavery in Chinatown brothels, even if it means putting her own life at risk to sneak through the gloomy alleys and rooftops where dangers lurk.

Putting her life on the line for a worthy cause is admirable. But opening her heart is even more terrifying. So when Elizabeth meets attorney, Charles McKinley—a man who dreams of reforming San Francisco’s crooked politics—Elizabeth begins to doubt: Can she maintain her pretense and hide her past? Or will her secret jeopardize both their futures?

    *My Thoughts*

Through the Shadows by Karen Barnett is the third book in the Golden Gate Chronicles series. I read book two without reading book one, and was not lost a bit, so these books can be read in any order needed!

My favorite thing about Karen's books is definitely the raw emotions the characters experience, and the places she uses! She has such a way about choosing the little talked about aspects of our history, and making it into a well-written gem! I love hearing about things not often talked about, and Karen always brings new things to my attention.

This series has been filled with emotional ups and downs, twists and turns, fabulous plot lines, and engaging characters...I cannot wait to see what's next for Karen Barnett!
