For more than five thousand years, Prometheus has been chained in the underworld. Every day, an eagle tears out his liver. Every night, he heals. When Hermes releases him in a gambit to save himself from his father’s wrath, Prometheus must adjust to a world that’s forgotten him. Hunted by the twins, Artemis and Apollo, he finds help in an unexpected place.

Julian Bell is a vampire lost. He left his Louisiana home in 1936 and hasn’t settled since. Ten years ago he followed his best friend to New York, but the country they came to wasn’t the America he left. After losing his friend, he found himself unmoored in a strange land. As he nears his hundredth birthday, he’s realizing how truly alone he is.

When Prometheus and Julian’s paths cross one fateful night, they find in each other a safe path through the shadows.

PRISONER OF SHADOWS IS THE SECOND BOOK IN A SERIES, BUT CAN BE READ AS A STAND ALONE NOVEL.

    Sam lives in North Carolina with husband and cat, which is even less exciting than it sounds, so she's not sure why you're still reading this.

    She specializes in LGBTQIA+ fiction, usually with a romantic element. There's sometimes intrigue and violence, usually a little sex, and almost always some swearing in her work. Her writing is light and happy, though, so if you're looking for a dark gritty reality, you've come to the wrong author.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Low-angst romance with a bit of action
    Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2019

    This was a light, easy read. I don’t know if there really is an obscure Greek myth about Apollo and Artemis creating vampires or if Burns & Fawkes stole the idea from Sherrilyn Kenyon, but this is the second time I’ve encountered it. I thought this was a much more flattering portrayal of Artemis, who was always one of my favorite of the Greek gods, so I prefer her to Kenyon’s version. I thought Prometheus was perhaps less naive and bewildered by the modern age than he should have been, but it would have been a much harder story to write if he was as out of touch as centuries of solitude should have left him, his friend’s infrequent visits aside. Julian was strong, competent, and kind. I enjoyed this quite a bit and look forward to the next one.

    The minute found out that Prometheus had his own book, I knew I had to read it. I felt bad for him and wanted to see where his story could go. I loved where this story went. Loved that Prometheus was paired with a vampire. Loved that the vamps were created by Artemis. Loved that so many of the gods showed up in this book. So many of these gods are total jerks and I think Zeus was the biggest jerk of all. Well, him and Apollo. I did like how Prometheus faced Zeus down at the end. Prometheus was a great character. I loved his vulnerability and his strength. Julian was the perfect match for him. I loved them together.

    Prometheus escapes the underworld where he was being tortured that was ordered by Zeus. Julian is a vampire that is part of The Hunt, which was started by the goddess Artemis. Apollo and Artemis are sent to recapture Prometheus and Julian tries to protect him. They fall in love. Prometheus and Zeus finally come to an understanding and Zeus leaves Prometheus alone.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2019

    Julian the vampire, saved Prometheus, the god, from Zeus’s twin hunters after he was freed from Tartarus. Not knowing much about mythology, Julian doesn’t realize what or who Prometheus is. When he finds out it’s already to late, the man/god belongs to him and he will go to hell to save him and take on the gods to do it.

    Snappy dialogue, sexy men, a god discovering a shower for the first time, and a vampire falling in love with someone he probably shouldn’t. Just a few of the gems in the story.

    Such a captivating take on the gods. Their weaknesses mostly defining them. Their pettiness the fuel that keeps them going, because the world is forgetting them.

    Julian was the hero that rescued Prometheus, their love for each other made a great story.

    I'm looking forward to where we going to be take, and who we'll meet, next. It's interesting to see the different threads of what I assume to be the grand design being sewn into the plots of each book in the series so far and trying to figure out where they're going to go with all we've learned.

    Dual POV with some heat and a HFN ending.

    I wasn’t sure how I would like the second book with Prometheus, but I really enjoyed the world building and the setting. I honestly had no idea vampires were part of Artemis’ legend and this was a really interesting take. I liked it a lot and couldn’t put it down. I look forward to the next book.

    Reviewed in Canada on March 12, 2023

    This was just such a satisfying way to send the story of Prometheus into the modern world!

    Reading the myths of the Greek gods it is hard not to feel bad for Prometheus. After all, the things he does helps out humans, and for those exact things he gets punished. And punished eternally no less! So it would be understandable if he was a bit cynical or untrusting of the world. Instead this book pretty much makes him the original sweet cinnamon roll. Despite years of torture and a completely different world, Prometheus is so hopeful for people and the changes they have made and what more they could do. Even as he worries about going back to his prison he tries to have good experiences and wants to see his daughter and help her out. It is just the absolute sweetest and you can't help but not want anything more bad happen to him.

    Julian has a little bit more of that cynicism for the world with what he has lived through in his time. Turned during the World War and dealing with a crisis in his Hunt (like a home pack for vampires) he is a bit more suspicious of people and planning for the bad things that happen. But Julian is still a kind, loyal, and trustworthy person. He is also a good judge of character and very protective, instincts that Prometheus brings out in him. Despite the trouble Prometheus brings Julian wants to help him and figure out a life for him that could be more than just a prison.

    A really great read with some fascinating twists on the gods, this continues to be a great series!
