Amidst the backdrop of war begins the suspenseful novel of betrayal and love. Unlikely liaisons and friendships form by prisoners forced into unbearable conditions. This first book of the series begins the story of a German officer and a part Jewish resistance fighter - their love is forbidden and dangerous.
SS officer Derek Lorenz is instantly attracted to Analise, the beautiful resistance fighter, when she arrives at Neustadt concentration camp. He is one of the elite soldiers of the Third Reich and she a prisoner. Derek knows they have no future together, yet he can't get her off his mind and out of his heart. He must decide if he will follow his feelings or continue to serve the evil forces determined to conquer the world. All Analise wants is to escape the hell going on around her and is taken off guard when she finds herself falling in love with Derek, the enigmatic soldier keeping her prisoner.
Can he be trusted or is he a wolf in sheep's clothing? Analise isn't sure, but one thing she is certain of, she has to find a way to escape the Shadow of Death falling across Europe.

WWII. A jaded German SS officer. A head strong Jewish resistance fighter. Captivity. Survival. Obedience. Honor. Lust. Rape. Hate. Love. Escape. Betrayal. Guilt. Enemies. Lovers. Shame. Hope. Identity.In a war that drew a clear cut line between enemies and friends, Shadow of Death blurs the lines between the labels while defining that the key to survival is to trust the untrustworthy. The heroine, Analise, is well written, but the "hero," Derek, drives this novel. He appears to be an unsympathetic character with bizarrely admirable moments. Or is he of sympathy, but not admirable? Maybe he just appears differently depending on the light. Functionally intoxicated daily, Derek is able to justify all of his actions by quieting his guilt ridden moral compass with another drink. Sober, he is a shame filled, emotional mess - but still lethal. After all, his Nazi drone persona is just a "cover" for his own survival - right? Is the glimmer of humanity intrinsic to him or a guise? Using her deep-seated sense of instinct, Analise attempts to navigate her survival, her attraction to Derek, her fear of Derek and define to herself what she is willing to do to come out not just alive, but sane and with her heart intact.
This isn't a pretty story. It is as gritty and raw as the war it is set in. Vividly concise in both the depiction of the atmosphere that Stauffer draws the reader into and depth of confused, mingled emotions. This story is like being hurled through a pitch black tunnel toward a glimmer of light you hope isn't a passing shooting star - but you are not sure it isn't. If you like your romances disturbingly dark and can handle the horrors of the WWII time period I will assure you that Shadow of Death integrates enough of a quality of hope and humanity to make Derek and Analise's story compelling.

Shadow of Death edition by Miranda Stauffer Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
9/3/1939, Kutno, Poland SS Captain Derek Lorenz (23; Iron Cross; Hauptsturmführer; SS-Totenkopf; Lieutenant; spy) looked through his binoculars of the bombed out ruins of Kutno Poland. The Lieutenant & 2 of his men Otto Landheim & Johan Diener were going to inspect the town for survivors but quickly figured out it was a trap the Polish Army were there also. They waited till dark & take them prisoner. The men continued their search/destruction of Jewish & Polish PPL.
SS Lieutenant/men returned to base & were greeted by Colonel Lance Haller (Herr Standartenführer; spy; counter-intelligence; pedophile). Derek Lorenz received an Iron Cross & was promoted to SS Captain.
Later SS Captain Derek Lorenz was injured & transferred to Neustadt concentration camp, 2nd in command to Major Heinrich Müller (Sturmbannführer; Commandant). He 1st went home for recovery. Upon arrival Neustadt concentration camp SS Captain Derek Lorenz had no choice but to partake in the Hitler’s death camp wishes (shot, set on fire, dumped in a pit).
9/28/1939, Warsaw, Poland was bombed.
Katya Sovinsky (f, 18) was also sent to Neustadt.
SS Captain Derek Lorenz seems to have lots of dealings with Colonel Dieter Brubacher (spy; counter-intelligence; Waffen-SS Gruppenführer Neuenschwander.
9/28/1939, Frankfurt, Germany
Analise Goldstein (17; Hans; Deutsches Widerstand; 2194; ¼ Jewish) later teams up with 2 other resisters Johannes & Conrad & they plan on blowing up a German munitions factory. They succeeded but were caught by Obersturmbannführer Karl Wolfenberger & sent to Neustadt.
Helga (former blockführer), Analise, Katya, Amelia, Britta, & the new blockführer Heidi Schmidt are chosen to work in SS Captain (Hauptsturmführer) Derek Lorenz brothel for the SS only.
Derek’s dad dies & he goes back home for the funeral.
“trapped by his circumstances as she was by hers.”
This I found interesting. Kind of pertains to everyone in that era. The worse of 2 evils endure Adolf Hitler’s wrath or make something out of it for yourself (survival).
How will the romantic bond between Analise & SS Captain Derek Lorenz end up? What will happen to Helga & Katya? What will happen to little Angel?
Time spam 9/3/1939, Kutno, Poland/Germany/Switerland-6/19/1941, NYC
A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written cat/mouse WWII historical factual (true/false) book. It was very easy to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. Several grammar errors, but no repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make great WWII movie, PP presentation or mini TV series (A & E, History channel). There is no doubt in my mind this is a very easy rating of 5 stars.
Thank you for the free Goodreads book

This is a great read. really enjoyed it & cant wait til the next in series are available to read)
Bloody awful. This what happens when people pay to publish a book; they don't need to know how to write.
I read this book in one day. Once I started it was hard to put down. Each page made you anxious for more. The details are extraordinary and the characters are well written. This story takes place during WWII and takes you into the stories of many characters from different backgrounds. It takes you into their heads to see the agony that the war brings from all sides. The romance keeps you guessing till the very end. I would Definitely recommend this book!
