***Bronze Award Winner - Historical Romance 2015 Readers' Favorite Awards***

They survived the war, but can they survive the peace?

Eva Muller and Zoe Lambros flee to Australia, seeking refuge from World War II ravaged Greece. They struggle in an intolerant society whilst dealing with their haunted war-time memories and hiding their love. With the horrors of the war behind them, Eva and Zoe forge a new life together. The war is over but the shadows from their past emerge to shatter their peace and endanger their lives. They are about to find out the hard way that moving thousands of miles away does not protect them from those that wish them harm.

Review

I just love Zoe and Eva. They are such strong characters. In the previous novel, their relationship was just turning from friendship to love, and now they are wholly in love. They are true companions and I love that. They are everything that you wish for in a partner. Their struggles were real and relatable and so were they. I officially adore this series. Another stellar novel that blows your mind. Loved it, enjoyed it! Rabia Tanveer / Readers' Favorite
Once again, Mary D. Brooks proves that she masters the art of writing emotion. Her unique narrative voice never wavers, her elegant writing style is flawless, and her talent for writing smart, flowing dialogue is extraordinary - Rosa Alonso / Amazon

The characters, the landscape, the depth of emotion, it's just the sort of book that stays with you long after you've put it down. Excellent writing, impressive attention to historical detail, and strong characters that are easy to invest in make this a story to read again and again. - Cat Jones / Amazon

WSL crafts an intriguing story that will keep you turning pages as quickly as you can, but it also gives you a more in-depth portrayal of its main players. You get a better insight into Eva whose quiet presence is hiding many secrets. Zoe is a fun and impulsive addiction -- both for Eva and for us as readers.. KT Jorgensen / Amazon

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    Mary is an award-winning author from Australia with a literary career spanning five decades. She began by crafting short stories about the antics of neighborhood misfits, which found their way into various Australian and U.S. magazines. Along the way, she ventured into non-fiction, but it was her deep-rooted passion for history—particularly the courageous women of the Greek Resistance during World War II—that inspired her to explore their stories through fiction.

    Her debut full-length novel, In the Blood of the Greeks, was released in 2001 alongside the short story You Must Remember This, published under the title Out of Darkness.

    Since then, Mary has received multiple accolades for her historical fiction, romance, and urban fantasy works. One of the proudest moments of her career came when In the Blood of the Greeks—along with its companion non-fiction volume, In the Blood of the Greeks: The Illustrated Companion—was chosen by the Jewish Museum of Greece for its collection on the Holocaust in Greece during World War II.

    WWII. Greece. Eva Muller (Hans’ daughter) & Zoe Lambros (former Greek Resistance movement) managed to survive Hitler’s Holocaust.
    10/1947, Bankstown Migrant Camp Sydney, Australia. Eva Muller was trying to teach Zoe Lambros (18, Eva’s lesbian partner) how to speak English.
    The 2 of them went to see Mrs. Jenkins (landlady) about renting a place.
    Earl “Wiggy” Wiggins (gay) was giving Eva a tour of the Johnson Brothers’ Biscuit factory.
    She is a process worker who boxes biscuits.
    Eva wanted Zoe to go to the Sydney College of the Arts.
    Dr. Hannah Koch (55+, psychiatrist) was seeing Eva on a regular scheduled basis.
    Henry Franz (retired Sergeant) was to report to the Australian War Crimes Unit Director’s office ASAP.

    Director Fischer said Major Hans Muller (German, 55+) wanted Henry to work in Larissa, Greece.
    Jack “Bean” Stalk 1-armed supervisor) was putting Eva with Mrs. Dunning Flossy Flute Fingers section.
    Dr. Koch found Eva an interpreting job with the Interpreter Division.
    Ms. Alice Birdswaite showed Henry to his office.
    How will Eva Muller & Zoe Lambros lives turn out?

    Warning: This book contains extremely graphic adult content, violence, or expletive language &/or uncensored sexually explicit material which is only suitable for mature readers. It may be offensive or have potential adverse psychological effects on the reader.

    I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.

    A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written historical fiction book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any 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 another great WWII movie, or better yet a mini TV series. To be continued. A very easy rating of 5 stars.

    This is the story of Eva and Zoe, situated in Australia in aftermath of WW2.

    Eva is a German, victim of terrible diversion therapy performed by his stepfather's brother. And the reason for this therapy was her sexual orientation, because nothing could disgust and make her Nazi stepfather more angry than Eva being a lesbian. And rather than letting her go or disowning her, he keeps punishing her and making her life hell, especially after her mother dies.

    Zoe is a Greek, first hired to help Eva when her stepfather as a high rank army officer was assigned to Greece. Eva's stepfather was responsible for killing Zoe's parents and to revenge, Zoe was determined to kill Eva. But she didn't. Instead she fell in love with her.

    Mary D. Brooks has written strong characters, independent females that are determined to be together and overcome all the obstacles that life throws at them. And despite the horrors of their past, they are very hopeful of the future and what may come. Beautiful story and characters in every sense.

    Where Shadows Linger can be read as stand-alone. So no worries if you haven't read the first one in the series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing historical romance
    Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    I have been following the story of this timeless romance between Eva and Zoe for several years now. One of my favorite things about this series is that it combines historical fiction, lesbian fiction and several other genres to make an intriguing series worthy of keeping me up nights. I also love that author Mary D. Brooks has made improvements on her series, with several of these books now in their 3rd edition.

    "Where the Shadows Linger" is the 2nd book in the "Intertwined Souls" series and takes place in the aftermath of World War II, which is where the two met on opposite sides of the conflict. They have fallen in love and are looking to make a life together. As such, they have decided to make a move to Australia together. While moving can be a great way to make a new start, we also often take our problems with us as the two quickly find out. They do make new friends but Eva continues to struggle with a difficult past. Also living as a lesbian couple in that day and age wasn't without its difficulties and prejudices, which they come into contact with as well.

    I loved this second installment and continuing the journey with these two. The historical elements seemed very accurate to me and I enjoy learning about history while being entertained by an epic tale at the same time. The relationship between Eva and Zoe illustrates some real issues, marred with strong emotion that hit home for me and I am anxious to keep reading these amazing books to find out what happens next. Great read.

    I am thoroughly enjoying this series. The second book leaves us with a sense of happiness for Zoe and Eva after having struggled with the lost of family and friends back in Greece. They are now settled in Australia and the book takes a turn at tackling not just the after effects of war but the prejudices and discrimination that is, sadly, the weakness of human behaviour. Zoe and Eva along with the friends that they are meeting are engaging and I can't wait to read the next book in this series.

    This series started out well and got sillier and sillier. Had I not bought them at the same time I would have given them up after about a quarter of book 2 - but having paid for them I was determined to finish and to be honest I am cross with myself for doing so when I could have been watching the grass grow, or the paint dry!

    The 2nd in the series, I rolled right over into it from the 1st and I'm already deep into the 3rd. They just keep getting better. Anyone into historic romance wont go wrong getting into this series.... The series moves from Greece during the horrors of German occupation of WW2 to the migrant experience in Australia in the 50's (so far). The vile treatment of jews and homosexuals is a theme that weaves through the unlikely love found by Zoe and Eva. Don't heskitate
