About the author

Barb is a Carolina girl by right and a Texan by birth. By day, she’s a desk jockey for a rural transportation company and a book lover, reading through as many books as she can. At night, though, she turns into her alter ego: a writer—cape optional, depending on her mood.
Her stories are a mix of real-life events, personal experiences, and the craziness of her own imagination and those of her best friends. And when their imaginations blend together, it can be crazy. Barb writes in multiple genres, encounters new adventures, creates new worlds, and has a fantastic time breathing life into new stories, creating something she hopes inspires anyone who reads to fall in love with them as she has.
Barb lives by one little rule: tomorrow is never guaranteed, so make sure you live each day to its fullest.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2018This book is full of so many surprises, twists and turns it will keep you on the edge throughout the read. What a well blended paranormal with just the right amount of romance to hold your attention as she brings the dark side closer than you ever had it before. From the first meeting Dylan is hooked so turned on he has trouble controlling the enter beast and almost shifts. He thinks with time and distance everything will be ok and life will go back to normal. He couldn’t be more wrong…..
The author gives you a delighted story of suspense, tragedy, love and humor plus so much more. Most of the characters you come to love, you even like the ones who are not so nice. Just when you think you have a handle the author throws a new twist throwing you off your game. She keeps you invested and turning pages to see what she has in store for you next. Evil is there larking around every turn, what could it be and what does it mean. What it must be like to see with your eyes something you know can’t be true. How can you believe when you know it is unbelievable? Emerson has to trust in herself to know who or what is evil, she must look beyond facts and trust in what she believes is fiction. Dylan is having a hard time believing things his self, is evil near or could life finally have a rainbow waiting for him.
I thought this was well written with wonderful characters that in a lot of ways I could relate to. The story kept me on the edge hanging one my by fingers waiting to see what happen next. Emerson is one sassy lady who had no trouble telling it like it is, Dylan is an alpha all the way very protective and a hunk. When he smells her scent you the reader can almost smell it as well. The author writes in a way you almost feel like you are there, having no trouble picturing the scenes as they unfold. The chemistry is off the carts, hot, wild and wonderful. I had trouble putting it down and read it at one setting. I really hate when it came to the end but what a wonderful ending.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2018A sexy paranormal thriller. I enjoyed the story it was full of action and undeniable chemistry between the characters.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2018I really tried to like this book. It was juvenile and the drama was over the top. I lost the story in the drama. The second star is here because there could be a real story here, the potential is here, but is lost.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2018What an incredible story. The author put so many surprises, twists and turns in here that I was sure she was trying to kill the reader with a severe case of shock. The characters are well developed, captivating and intriguing. The story is well paced and well written. I love all of the main characters and a few of the side ones. There were some I wasn't too sure about at first but, by then end I knew exactly which ones to love and which to despise. Which is an earmark of a phenomenal read. When you despise a character so much you want to be one of the characters that get to kick some butt. I really enjoyed this first edition to a new series and look forward to reading what the author brings next.

Emerson “Em” Davenport is thinking of the future. Dylan is a very special young man. Ashton is a good friend of his. He’s a game-changer as we first listen to his thoughts. It certainly grabbed my attention. It’s one of those books that is hard to put down – you don’t want to miss anything.
What I loved about this book was that the author kept coming up with surprises. These surprises have you turning the page because you wonder what else this author has up her sleeve. We see the conflict that Em goes through and we would probably do the same. How do you go from knowing what you believe to believing what is impossible? Dylan has his own conflicts to deal with. He has a hard time believing that something good is going to come into his life.
We also get an evil source that filters through the story. Makes you wonder what will happen next. With all the ups and downs going on here our author still has the time to give us a happy ending. But it did leave me wondering if we were going to see this group of people again. I usually recommend not going to the end but the author was sweet and included a playlist so this would be a good exception. This just means that I’ll have to reread this book so I listen to her musical choices for this book.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2023Quite an enjoyable story about a girl being thrown in a world she never knew existed. It was mostly easy to read, but there were times when who was saying what was not clear and I got confused at what was really happening.
Sometimes the story went a bit fast and could have been prolonged to get a deeper understanding of why the main characters was "chosen".
Because of the confusion and questions regarding the Preacher i give this book 3 out of 5 stars.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2018Paranormal is not my usual read, but I love this author is another genre, so I had to try it out. Wow! I was pleasantly surprised. I was drawn into all the characters even some took a bit for me to understand. There wasn't a thing to love about this book. It was choked full of suspense, tragedy, love and more. I can't compare this to other paranormal books or authors, but if this is even close to the standard, I may need to change the genre I read. Bravo, Ms. Shuler. Incredible job in making this reader happy and ready for more.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2018Emerson and Dylan are swoon worthy. Dylan almost shifts right there on the spot when they first meet. That's how intense the connection is. After that he keeps his distance, but then she goes and ruins it by going to the same college as him.
Another group starts harassing her and he has to protect her. Lots of suspense, action, drama, and even some laugh out loud moments. Loved it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Shifters to the rescue!
This was a very easy book to read. The dialogue was a little repetitive but flowed nicely. There were twists and turns that kept me intrigued. The bad guys pay for their wicked ways and there is more than one romance. I liked that the shifters had more than one shape. And they were friends with vampires. Mostly. The ending was all you could ask for. All together a good way to spend a few spare hours.
