About

 Seventeen-year-old Alis Winters has been called crazy her whole life for her unusual relationship with her imaginary friend – her shadow – but when he walks into her room just days before her eighteenth birthday as the sexiest man she’s ever seen, she knows for sure she’s not crazy.

Her shadow tells her of his past lives, of his loss and loves that she knows she’ll never compare to, and of a curse his mother placed on both him and his brother hundreds of years ago. Alis quickly learns there’s secrets he’s hiding from her, and when he disappears in the middle of the night, she turns to the only person she can for answers – his brother.

Six years pass and Alis has shut her heart to emotion. She’s lost too much to ever think about her shadow again, until he forces her to. Her shadow returns, ready to win Alis’ heart all over again and break the curse, no matter what it takes.

Praise for this book

This is a great book. While you’re reading it, you think that you know what’s gonna happen, like I thought, but you don’t. It’s a book that touches on some real life problems with the FMC that some can relate lol.
This is such a great book. In the beginning it gets you hooked and you don't know what to expect keeping you glued until you finish and then satisfied at the ending. Now I can't wait until the author writes again!!
Really enjoyed this book. Really good twists that you don’t see coming. Not too much of a slow burn which I loved. Great main characters and story line. I couldn’t stop reading once I started ❤️
This was such a rollercoaster of feelings, twists and turns! And I absolutely loved it! The love between the main characters proved that love can conquer all, even though they’ve been through some really difficult stuff. Like a love triangle trope. This was overall a well written story with hints of fantasy in a contemporary romance. Recommend going in blind for the full experience tho. I’ll definitely re-read this masterpiece and I can’t wait to read more from this author.
This book had me addicted from the first chapter. It was absolute perfection and I wouldn't change a thing about it. The suspense, the angst, the wholesome moments. It was amazing. This is by far my favorite book. Would absolutely read again.
What a damn story! 😅 I just finished this book and I have no words. It was captivating and a rollercoaster of emotions, and I loved every minute of it! I couldn’t put it down after the first few chapters. The story line had me gripped, and it had just the right amount of spice! A great read! I still need time to process! 🥺💛
Absolutely loved the twists and turns, truly could never predict what would happen next. The character development is fantastic. I love that this book, and the characters, is so unpredictable that you never figure out what will happen next!
While not my usual genre of book, I absolutely loved this! JA Welch did amazing with her world building. The secrets and the lies! Loved how it finally all came together.
