Ollie Wit left it all behind: a new home, friends who saw her as something more than a fragile shadow walker and a budding relationship with Kane. She did it all in an effort to shield Asher, who should’ve never been able to escape the Shadowlands.
Now her money is gone, her hopes of saving other shadow walkers has slipped through her fingers, and Kane won’t speak to her. She’s been abducted by leprechauns, who think she has committed an unspeakable crime. The vampires want her dead and there’s a crawler blowing up End of the Rainbows. Kane might not want to work with her, but he’s going to have to because all hell is breaking loose in Boston. Ollie had everything she ever wanted: a new home, friends and a possible relationship with Kane but she gave it all up to help Asher, her new friend who helped her in the Shadowlands and somehow escaped.
I can almost guarantee that any book I read by Donna will get a 5 star rating from me. This one was no exception.
I was hooked on Ollie's character, a shadow walker, in the first book "A Step into the Dark" and carried that same feeling through this one. Sometimes the sequel doesn't measure up to the first book but this was seamless for me. I even went back and reread book 1 before we starting this one. I wanted to solidify the story line in a seamless manner since it had been a while (6 months) and many books ago since I read the first. I wanted to savor it all over again.
I may sound like a broken record but the read is flawless, the characters well defined and entertaining and the story so well planned you just can't help but put Donna on your favorite author's list!
I would summarize the story but that has already been done in a previous review and on the websites. I will just add my 2 cents and say...pick up this series. You won't be disappointed!
About the Author: Website-Facebook-Twitter Donna Augustine was an odd child, had a brief moment of conformity in early adulthood and then decided to embrace her craziness as the years rolled by. It's her inner crazy that she credits with coming up with the ideas for her books. One part hypochondriac, a few dashes of paranoia, topped with a sliver of uptight and delivered with a relaxed flair, she kicked the proverbial box down the yellow brick road a couple years ago to embrace her true self.
She can be reached by a carrier pigeon, set free in a south by north direction, where she resides in Neverland with her two Siberian cats. Cats who, by the way, aren't as hypoallergenic as she believed they'd be.
For the conventional minded, and those of you without a pigeon on hand, she can be reached at donna@donnaaugustine.com. She responds to most emails within three dusk periods.
P.S. For those of you looking for the discarded box, it was sitting beside the road for a while but has since disappeared completely.

Her money is all gone and she’s desperate so she sucks up her pride and goes back to visit Kane but that doesn’t go quite the way she plans. Her life is on the line again and she doesn’t know who can help her now.
Once again Donna Augustine has done a fantastic job in book 2 of her new Ollie Wit series. Each series she creates is unique and I am sucked in from the very beginning. If you are looking for a new author she’s definitely the one you have been looking for

by Donna Augustine Jan 26, 2017 259 pages Kane says he can end my misery.
He says he believes in the monsters and knows they killed my family.
What he isn’t saying is how bad it’s going to get. That if I fulfill my part of the bargain and get him his information, I’ll be clinging to sanity by my fingertips.
Ollie Wit sees monsters that other people don’t. People think she’s crazy and she has given up on life. The only thing keeping her from taking hers, is a promise she made a long time ago. When she meets Kane she finds out that she is a Shadow Walker, which is why she sees monsters and others can’t. Kane offers her a job, if she will shadow walk for him and find a specific spell, she could be free from the monsters forever.
Donna Augustine is a fantastic writer and this new series is superb. She creates a world that is different than many others with strong characters and great chemistry. If you haven’t read any of her books I highly recommend doing so, and this one is a great one to see what you’ve been missing out on!

Looks like another hit series just making it's debut! I didn't expect any less from Donna Augustine.
You heard Donna's familiar cadence and inflection from the first page. Telling the story of what will be another kick-ass female heroine with just enough self doubt to make her burrow into your heart.
I know, I know, we have quite a few really good writers of women heroes but can you ever really have enough?! And Donna does them soooo well. I never tire of hearing a story told with the blend of struggle, humor and strength that this author is so good at developing. (Can you tell I am a fan?)
Ollie has been seeing monsters all of her life then one day everything changed...she actually spoke to one. Wrong move. Loosing everything close and dear to her in one fell swoop she began a spiral into depression and self destruction. That is, until "they" showed up. Maybe there were people (or something) out there that didn't think she was bat-shit crazy. Worth a shot in finding out? Could be the end of her life but "Hey!", she was already on that path, right?
Do yourself a favor. Pick this up ASAP. A new flavor, a new series, a familiar voice to the Augustine fans to immerse yourself in for some mental get-a-way! I read this in one day because it was addicting. I could have recommended this from the first page...it felt like home!
Getting 5 sheep from this girl.
