Jordan’s Shadow by T.R. Cupak – Review by Alexandria Richard

Jordan’s Shadow by T.R. Cupak
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As the description states, “This story isn’t about love, like, lust, or a happily ever after. This story, my story, is about struggle, pain, and suffering.”

TW: this book depicts and talks about abandonment, abduction, addiction, adultery, depression, murder, prostitution, rape, self-abuse, and suicide (this list is in alphabetical order, not in order of relevance).

While I am a fan of the dark romance genre anyways, I really enjoyed this book, not because of the romance, but because you travel along with Jordan as she starts to confront her demons; mental and external. You also see how one event can impact a person’s life and the repercussions it has in the years to come (yay psychology!). There is of course sexual encounters between Jordan and her Shadow, but it’s not your typical romance novel. This is a survivor’s story; you get the raw, brutal truth about her feelings and coping mechanisms, or lack thereof.

Jordan’s Shadow also has hints of mystery as chapters swap between Jordan’s Point of View and her client’s, “the Shadow,” who knows more about her past than he should.
