Shadowbrook Manor is a book that will keep you captivated from beginning to end! From the minute you start your journey with Samantha, you are thrown into a whirlwind of lies, deceit, and a romance so pure and so true, it lasted throughout lifetimes. This is a book that you can't just leisurely read, but one that demands your attention. I love it, and cannot wait for more from Shannon Bailey!
Review by Victoria King
Forever David's is a true work of love and art created by Shannon Bailey. The book may be a short one, but the story is everlasting. An author who has the gift of evoking all your emotions in the mesmerizing tale. . .
Shannon Bailey has captured the true essence of the vampire and made it her own within these wonderful pages. from the first page until the very end, you are captivated by the charm. Captivated by the realistic adventure of warmth of an unnatural love. What more could you ask for? Except more of Forever David's.

I loved it. (Forever David's) I have started a vampire frenzy at work and
many of the girls I work with loved your first book and will be
buying and reading the second. . .One of the reason your books are
so great is because they are like real life.
Shannon Righi, Serious Vampire Fan
A nice quick read, with a time line of a couple of days, and a new variety of vampire. The ending leaves the story open, and I look forward to the sequel.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Haunted Hillerman House. I started the book on Saturday, then Sunday wore my purple and white Dixon Dukes T-shirt and finished the book by noon. It was fun! A double story with both settings in Dixon- past & present. Plus a Mystery!

I must say I REALLY enjoyed this book! I could not put it down. . . It was interesting from start to finish. I was upset about certain things that happen (without giving away to much) but Forever David's was a fanatastic book. I can't wait to read Develyn's Tale.

The BEST!!! If you read Forever Davids you realize you have to read Develyn's Tale . . . Develyn's Tale throws you through a loop, like you never would have guessed.

If you haven't had a chance to read this stellar author's magnificent Gothic vampire romance novels (Forever David's and Develyn's Tale), you don't know what you're missing!
In Ms. Bailey's previous novels, I wondered why David thought the way he did and why Develyn behaved in the manner that he did. Always, there had been hints to their past, little snippets that teased and titillated the senses. The End of The Order provides all those questions with an answer. In retrospect, I really couldn't call The End of The Order the end. The paranormal romance novel was an eye-opening and heart touching opening to the beginning!
I had found that Develyn, in Forever David's, was the vampire that I loved to hate. I could never quite place my finger on why I felt this way until Ms. Bailey released this novel. Develyn's background is explained, and the reader is rewarded with a keen insight into the heart he struggles to keep hidden from the world. His brother, David, will always be the perfect darling---kind and loving. Emily? Ah, sweet Emily is the perfect heroine, desperate to make everything right in a dark world that is confusing and distorted with a sense of evil capable of destroying everything.
Overall, I LOVED this book. Ms. Bailey succeeds in pulling at the heart, bringing to light the horror of the damned vampire, Valaree Von Wahran. When I closed the last page, I felt a sense of fulfillment and wonder.
Please, Ms. Bailey, continue with your excellent writing and bring us a tale of Count Konrad!

Review for The Unwilling
I thought this book was fantastic and can't recommend it highly enough. While the topic of vampires has been written about over and over this book bring[s] a new twist to the story. The characters are developed nicely and the plot is complex. This is a great book and I hope to read more from this author! -- Debbie "Reading mom of 2"
Shannon Bailey's Shadowbrook Manor is a step back in time and a glimpse of a love that reaches beyond death. As fans of Ms. Bailey have become accustomed to, this story takes twists and turns, leaving the reader anxious to unravel a mystery. Her descriptions are so precise you can smell the sea and agonize over a forbidden affair. This story was another captivating tale from an author who has the ability to whisk readers away to a time and place other than their own.
I enjoyed this story immensely, and look forward to what Ms. Bailey has in store for her fans next!

Review for Shadowbrook Manor
I've never immersed myself into a character in a novel as I did in Leslie.
The story is poignant and enthralling. . .
Right now, I feel so sad. Even although Alexandre and Leslie finally do achieve their HEA, I feel so sad somehow. Maybe, "haunted" is the word that best describes it. It may be because I am a Michigander and I have visited Mackinac Island so many times. But I felt as if I was there as the novel progressed. I could place myself right into the action.
Thank you for the story.
Review by Sue B.
I just finished reading Shannon's Haunted Hillerman House. I must say it was not what I was expecting but I was pleasantly surprised. There is a warning on the back that the book is not what you expect it will be and that is true enough, but I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed this tantalizing mystery. Shannon builds a story about two people who fall in love under unfortunate circumstances. I fell in love with Rachel and Levi and their story seems so tragic. This plot is kept me twisting in the wind until the very end and it is quite unexpected. Just what you would love in a great mystery. I look forward to reading more by Shannon Bailey.

I Love this book and this author's writing. The wait was worth the effort...(and yes waiting can take effort) :) I was so very anxious to see where the continuation of Forever David's would lead to and I was not left disappointed. I very much look forward to it's upcoming conclusion in the final book. If you haven't read them get them!!! You'll be glad you did. They sit in my small but cherished favorites stack on my bedside table.

A book you can't put down is an excellent book. One you have to stay up reading is an exceptional book and that's exactly what Forever David's is! Forever David's was unpredictable and kept my attention all the way through. It's a book that at intense parts you hold your breath and skip a heartbeat! I'm dying to read Develyn's Tale.
Kayla, Avid Reader
The Haunted Hillerman House is what you would expect from the writings of Shannon Bailey. She pulls you into the story and holds you tightly until the very end. Her creative mysterious twists and breathtaking surprises are ones you never see coming. You are truly caught off guard. No matter how well you think you are prepared, you will be surprised. This is her gift. Shannon Bailey is a brilliant writer. One of which should be followed closely.
T.l. Mitchell, Author of Dark of kNight
Emily Perkins is desperate to protect her son. Develyn Blackwell is determined she will know the truth. And somewhere between the past and present, they both hope to find the redemption they so long for!
Develyn's Tale is another emotional, fast-paced story of the Blackwell brothers, and the one woman they're both destined to love. Ms. Bailey takes us on a roller coaster ride where the line between good and evil is often blurred, but love knows no bounds.
I cannot wait for the conclusion of this tale!
Lisa Phillips ~ Author of Obsession Everlasting
When I picked up Forever David, I was anticipating similarities with the obvious other paranormal vampire picks, but this just took my to another place and wanting more. Unfortunately, it was a short read, but the author doesn't leave you disappointed. I fell in love with all the characters so fast, maybe too in love since it left me yearning for more background and detail into their lives. Regardless, the plot was right up my alley with twists, turns, romance, love, loss oh and of course, vampires. sigh*

I loved Forever David's but I was blown away by Develyn's Tale. I can honestly say I did not see that coming. I can't wait for the 3rd installment.
