Shadow is released!




The ninth New Species book - Shadow - is available now at Kindle and B&N. It’s releasing tomorrow at Ellorascave around 9am PST (US).

 

Valiant is coming out in print on Nov 20th. I spotted His Purrfect Mate at Amazon in print too! That means it should be available at Ellorascave and B&N soon.

 

I am working on more books! Moon is up next in the NS series but I don't have a release date yet since I'm still writing that story. I’m working on more books in other series. I’ll update you when I send one in. Sorry for the short update but I’ve been up all night writing, answering emails, and I’m in need of some sleep. LOL!
 
I hope everyone has a safe, happy week.

  8. I love your books! I get your books on my kindle, and I can't help myself, I stay up to 2 or 3 in the morning, reading them the first night, and then I get withdrawals. Your books feel like I'm watching movies that I never get tired of watching! God Bless You, Laurann

Hope you will write more NS especially would love to see poor Vengeance find love, as well as Brass since he lost out on Trisha! Can't wait for Moon's story- know it will be great! Thanks for making reading a joy!

  13. Do you think next book will be released before end of the year? How far you're in writing Moon?

    I absolutely loved Shadow.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I'm a few weeks from finishing Moon so I doubt it will be out by the end of December but it won't be much past that. It takes time for edits and final edits once I turn in a book and then it gets a release date.

    1. Will any of the species women have children in the near future? I felt sorry for Creek after reading her& Beauty's conversation about the topic. BTW...I loved Shadows story...I can't wait for Flame&Amanda story as well...

  17. I loved shadows story and I can't wait for moons :) will we get a story about Leo and torrent? I would really like to read books for them!

    1. OMG! I LOVED that Leo had a tail. How cool is that?? Please let him find a human mate that can look past all that. Besides...that tail could be a very interesting part of the story. LOL

  18. Eek ! I have no idea why it just occurred to me to find your website lol ! I have been hooked on New Species since they day I ran into Fury and haven't stopped! I haven't read Shadow yet (but I will) yet I'm hoping you make a book for Jericho! He reminds me of Valiant (one of my fav NS books)and I'm anxious, anxious, anxious! Moon's story will be kick ass too !hahahah, DON'T stop writing :)
    Kisses and Hugs !

  19. I am offically a Leo fan please say he will get a story!

    ReplyDelete
  20. You know I found Leo to be a double of Valiant. The tail business would be a great story line to see how used on a women. LOL.

    Keep writing and I'm looking forward to Moon; Christmas gift, wink, wink

  21. I have read Shadow. I LOVE ALL your books, (read them many many times,) but this one. I felt that it was more like reading a story "about trying to make it and break out." I felt that the pages and pages of discribing her feeling was a little overwhelming. I did not feel and sence any humor or anything funny. It was more like a case load from a Doctor, about how to move on. One of your greatest gifts is the way you make people feel good. You bring out the best in situtations, by using your humor and by involving others in your stories. I felt that this was a doom and gloom book, without that spark that you are so capable of writing.

    1. You know, for me the book wasn't doom and gloom, it was a story of two people struggling to overcome the pain from their past, fighting to have the life they want, especially Beauty. Her courage and strength was wonderful and inspiring. I LOVED how she didn't want to be treated like she was glass. I had to pump my fist in the air when she attacked Torrent after he threw Shadow out the window. Woohoo GO BEAUTY! LOL ;)

      Delete
    2. I'm with you, Teresa. I loved that the story was more about building a relationship and trust. Sure, Beauty was unsure of herself...look at her past! But she was strong enough to want a better life and go after it. I loved the Torrent "attack", too. You go girl!

      Delete
  22. Yes this is an inspiring book about how they overcame pain and moved on. But I really did not expect, about the WHOLE book, to be inspireding and overcoming pain. Where was the humor, the parts was as enjoyable for a read. Sceans that should be upbeat. The relationships with others. I did not feel real warm moments from others. It was sadness, without any laughter.It was sadness and over coming. It was very well written, but....... missing the spark.

  23. Will there be another book in the Zorn series I've loved all of them it be nice to read about vinnoli not sure if I spelled his name right but he was in interesting character in the last book

    ReplyDelete
  24. I thought the story was excellent and not a" doom and gloom" well done lourann! Except one little glitch! Page 499 it says that lauren is Tims daughter. I thought Becca is Tims daughter. I a looking forward to moons book next.

  25. Laurann,


    I loved Beauty.
    Lately I've grown tired of outspoken, aggressive and alpha type heroines. I've been craving for gentle, feminine and compliant heroine. Beauty was truly a sweetheart. I LOVED that she wasn't ashamed of the fact that she needed a man who could love and PROTECT her!

    I'm guessing that Brass also get Gift girl.
    Am I right? LOL.

    I join in pleadings for Moon's book as Christmas gift to your loyal fans. I have a great faith in you and I believe that you and Ellora Cave's girls can make it! :)

  26. When I learned that Shadows mate going to be NS female and not human, I didn't wait it that much like others (Tiger, Wrath, Obsidian...). I don't know why, but just felt that way. But I read book anyway just it come out and SURPRISE I enjoyed it from the first page. Yeah I shouldn't be surprised, after all is it Laurann's work.
    I was proud that Beauty after all the pain wasn't covering, she wasn't happy being labeled Gift and wanted more. She was strong and I don't mean physically.
    In the beginning I was angry at others NS, the way they acted sooo knowingly towards Beauty. Deciding for her and don't asking her wishes. Especially I was angry at Kit,the way she acted towards Beauty after she first meet Shadow in the woods. Kit acted like Beauty was brainless chick. I so much wanted to punch her at that moment. But I was happy the way Beauty stand for herself, it seemed like after she meet Shadow, she find that she needed to finally say her mind and fight for herself. So the Shadow book was wonderful. Great job Laurann ;-)
    I am so much waiting for: Flames and Amandas story (I really hoping they have their story and end up maited), also Jericho (because he give up on having mate and I wondering what kind she going to be), Darknes and so much others mentioned over the all nine books.
    I always getting hooked up, when new bookscome out and have to read other all over again and not only New Species, but from others series too.
    Now I am wondering how poor Moon going to meet his mate, when now he is so aggressive and don't recognize his friend's.
    PLEASE PLEASE Moon book come out soooon :-D

  27. Mrs. Dohner please, PLEASE give us Moon for Christmas.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Just finished Shadow, and I can't wait for the next book. Moon's book sounds promising already from what happen in Shadow's. Beauty was such a perfect heroine for Shadow. And I'm just gonna say it I don't have one favorite character anymore, ALL of the Male Species are my favorite now. The way you write them just makes them all so awesome.

    I hope that the New Species women can get pregnant and also that one of them will have a girl. By the way I hope that you write a book for ALL of the New Species, they all deserve a story.

    Also please, please, please, PLEASE just give me a hint of who Moon's heroine is gonna be. Pretty Please!

    ReplyDelete
  29. I agree, Moon's story is gonna be awesome! I really wonder how he's going to shake off the effects of the drug he was given. And, of course, who his lady is gonna be! But, while I'd like for Moon to be out in time for Christmas, I don't want Laurann to rush if it means sacrificing quality. Good things come to those who wait, so I don't mind waiting.

  30. Loved Shadow and Beauty! I'm dying for Vengeance's book! I can't wait for it!

  31. Hi

    Waiting on Moon's book :)

    Take your time writing Moon's book; so it will be great. I still think you can get it done for your fans for a christmas gift. LoL

    Please keep writing great books

  32. I want Vengeance, Jericho and Smiley. Also Leo. But especially Smiley, poor guy needs some loving.

  33. Loved Shadow, in fact, I love all your books. I don't even care what book comes out next, I just can't wait until the next one comes out!

  34. I'm going to write a new blog to answer your questions. I apologize for the delay. I was out of town and not online.

  35. And thank you soooo much for all the comments.

  36. Just finished Shadow...Meh...Glad you are weeding out some series because you are obviously distracted.
    "I am Gift, I can't do much but I can keep your house" I want to teach other Gift females... With What... your great social skills, Your teaching degree?? WTF!! Just could not get into Beauty. So much potiental with the story line.. Even your sentance structure was written to up the word count, just filling pages. You fizzled out on the sex scenes, where was the heat ?! The porn Shadow was exposed to must have been very poor quality. No imagiation....

    ReplyDelete
  37. I agree with Anonymous...Beauty was such a weird contradiction. She could not suck it up and comfort the man she loved when he is hurt and a human paramedic is around then is pulling a John Wayne and shooting several guns out a window? She jumped up on a counter when seeing a spider but then thinks nothing of tramping around alone out in the wood? No consistency of the character

  40. I love your New Species the Best...All are the best...but I guess my super favourite are Shadow, Justice, Obsidian and Slade...Obsidian was too good..I really don't know to choose among any of the books in the series...I can feel it that Kit's will be very good coz its easily understood by the way u write about her that she is emotionally too scarred to be acting this way...But I do have a request for u...Can u please add a book for Breeze...I just love her...please.

  42. I have enjoyed all of your New Species Books, of course there are some which are my favorite. Please go easy on Moon; he is such a caring charcter to Obsidian. Please give him a love interest that is worthy of him. Same goes for Smiley!
    Truely enjoyed the fact that in Shadow you let the love interest be a new species.Would love to see more species relationships. Getting tired of the petite, blonds and redheads. Please let us have a normal 5'8" brunette!Let her be smart and as tough as Trisha.
    Sounds like you already have a companion for Darkness. I was hoping that he and Kit might make a pair; in book 8 Darkness is feline and has the ability to read species. Maybe that could be helpful for Kit? Actually,the dark sassy ones seem like they would bethe most fun to write about. Pairing them w/some one who brings out the best in them.
    Anyway, I'm sure I will enjoy all the books you publish. I love all the traits and emotions that you give your charcters. Keep up the great work!
    Just keep them coming!

  43. Hey Laurann I love your New Species books!! Just wanted to let you know I've read them all and can't wait for Moon to come out. It sounds like it will be very interestingwith the feral thing and all. I think Beastial should get a book! He's always butting into the other species' relationships I think its time he gets a mate of his own!

  44. Thank you Laurann for writing the best series ever (and I read a lot). I love New Species. They are possessive, protective and passionate! Yum!  They are truly honorable. I think that’s what sets this series apart from all the rest. No other can claim it that I’m aware of. You can trust that NS will always be honorable and loyal to each other. I was afraid in Justice that there would be NS civil war. I’m glad it didn’t go that way. I too believe they have plenty of external enemies to last a life time and hope that you will be able to maintain the honorable foundation of the NS series. This series hit me right in the heart.  I’m not a fan of the sci-fi/captive sex-slave genre (Cyborg), but I see that you have tons of loyal fans who are. You’re wonderful. I look forward to Moon and every future NS book you write. Thank you for writing for us.  Warm regards, Lisa Jones, Winterville,

  45. (Wrote 1/1/2012 review.)Negative comments help an author grow as does great comments. I love her books, but some are better than others. Saying "Don't read it....Don't state your opinions" is defeating. I did not care for Shadow as I just felt sad, sad and sad at the end. That is my opinion. The author is a fantastic author. I wait for new books and count the days. But...does that mean that every book is perfect? I love her other books with all the fast witty comments,sex sceans, the anticipation, and plots that have plots inside of them. Her books are on the best seller lists. But...I want to enjoy them, and if giving my negitive comments help someone grow more, and explain why I think that something could be better,I will. Maybe it will affect future writing.

  46. Dear Laurann Dohner,
