This story focuses on Jacques LaRoche. A shifter that's well respected in his clan and all round, a good man. His world turns upside down when Susanna Duchamps enters his bar and brings about emotions that bubble up on the surface.
Jacque's senses swam with the perfume of her scent. It's seductive familiarity knotted him up into a hard ache of longing and desire he couldn't begin to understand. But he knew it. He'd felt the strange torturous pleasure, the hot, mindless euphoria years ago, back b...more

This is the first book I’ve read in the Moonlight series. It’s always hard getting into the book when you’re so far ahead, but the plot seemed so interesting I just couldn’t wait! Gideon gave me enough information to understand what was going on, but I was left with questions that would have been answered with the past five books. I’m definitely going to read the first ones to fully understand the sixth, but that didn’t take away from how thrilling the plot is!

I completely enjoyed this book. It starts with a woman betraying her lover then switches to present day. Jacques is the owner and operator of a very specific bar in New Orleans. Susanna comes to a friend's aid straight into the lair of the man she betrayed. She did it to protect him and a very big secret. Now, he knows only that he is drawn to her completely and she has a hold on him no woman has ever had. The problem is she is a Chosen and he is a Shifter, from two different worlds and classes....more

Seeker of Shadows had everything a good Urban fantasy should; shifters, danger & romance. Now truthfully there wasn't a whole lot of shifting going on. I have to say I enjoyed the way Gideon presented the powers of the shifters. They seemed more like seamless changes, as if we were dealing with the different abilities of one individual as opposed to people who are fighting their beast half. I'm honestly still not quite sure what the Chosen are. Super intelligent and mostly unemotional I gues...more
MY THOUGHTS
LOVED IT
This story starts off brilliantly with a lot of action in the form of a mysterious woman betraying her lover and you will have to read through the book to find the exact details. Susanna has turned in her lover, Jacques, all those years ago and striped his mind of memories. Now she owes the assassin, Nica, a favor that may cause her to betray Jacques again. Susanna is a hard character to unravel since she seems so secretive. It takes a few pages to really understand that her b...more

Jacques LaRoche is a man with a missing past, his memory was taken from him and he to this day longs for a mate he can't remember. Then Susanna Duchamps comes to town and he can't keep his thoughts off her.
Susanna sent Jacques (Jack) away a long time ago because she felt it was best for his safety , but seeing him again has shown her the error in her ways. Just his nearness threatens to undo the safety net she has created for her and her daughter in her world.

When I first began to read this book, I did not realize that it was the sixth book in this series. Seeker of Shadows can be read on its own, but I could kind of tell which characters may have been portrayed in the previous five books.
Susanna is the type of woman that gets on my nerves, but yet I understood why she thought the way she did. She has decided to cohabitate with a guy from her clan whom she feels is the best protector of her and her daughter. Damien knows her sordid background and has...more

When I was offered this book for review I was a little hesitant because I had not read any other books in this series and was worried about being lost in the story. Luckily Nancy does give enough information that I could follow along with the plot, but I could tell there were holes in the backstory that I knew I was missing. I understand the mythology behind the shifters and the humans, but the Ancients and the Chosen are a still a little fuzzy. That is by no means the fault of the author. I am...more
Seeker of Shadows, Moonlight #6, By Nancy Gideon
Grade: C-
“How can something make you so weak and so strong at the same time?
Jacques LaRoche woke up in New Orleans seven years ago with no memory of his past. Since then he has carved a life for himself as a bar owner and has proven worthy of the shifter clan in the area.

Susanna knows exactly what she gave up when she turned her lover in years ago and her society made him “disappear”. She also knows it was for the best because a future for them was a bleak one. Never knowing what came of him other than he was alive was enough for her to attempt to move on. When she gets a call to return a favor in New Orleans she never expects to run right into him, let alone have to work so close she can smell him. The greater good prevails her sense of self-preservation but so...more
Seeker of Shadows tells the story of Jacques LaRoche, the New Orleans Shifter club owner. He's liked by everyone and has a stern yet quiet demeanor.
Susanna Duchamp, a geneticist and Chosen, comes to New Orleans to repay a favor. We first met her in Hunter of Shadows when her kidnapped daughter was rescued by Nica. Susanna's appearance in town has Jacques in knots. He wants her to leave because her kind is not to be trusted, but more than that ... something about her hurried his heartbeats until...more

Gideon's Urban Fantasy setting is like a tightly woven fabric that is held together with dynamic characters, and a suspenseful storyline. As an added bonus you get plenty of steamy interactions (aka sexy good times) between Susanna and Jaques, which satisfies the naughty romantic in me. You know you have one too! I'm not usually a fan of relationships destroyed with unthinkable hidden betrayal and rebuilt without revealing the entirety of the deception, but in this case, Susanna honestly could n...more
second in the 'shadows' series by this author, and a spin-off from her supernatural 'moonlight' series of 4 books. the hero is a shifter who came to his senses 7 years ago with no memory of his previous life, and he has made a new life for himself, though always aware that his mate is missing. she comes back into his life even though he does not remember her, and reluctantly feels drawn to her. murder and mayhem commence!
Susanna has come to New Orleans because she owes someone a favour. Imagine her surprise when she finds the man she loved and bonded to just happens to turn up. He owns the bar where her friend works. But things are not simple between Jacques and her. Susanna's partner had Jacques memories wiped so he doesn't remember who she is. For these two to be together there is a hell of a lot to overcome.
I am so glad that Jack, Jackie or Jacques finally had his own book. I loved the whole lost love bit. Jack was every bit as wonderful as I thought he would be. But I have to say that when Max shows up he steals the scenes for me. It just made me miss Charlotte and Max all the more. I was dismayed at the antics of one of the characters in here. I mean I still like him but he is a bit lost at this point. I think that means he will have his own book as well. There was plenty of action and lots of se...more
Fantastic author. Check out Dori's review
