Shadow Deep (Prof Croft Book 10) Kindle Edition
I’ve taken on my first ever apprentice. A mage of my bloodline, Alec is as headstrong as he is powerful, his magic bolstered by a shifty trickster god.
If that weren’t enough, I’ve been recruited into an NYPD task force on missing persons. Cases in the city are exploding, a little girl among the most recently disappeared. As a soon-to-be father, this one cuts close to the heart.
But just as I uncover a bizarre lead, I’m yanked back to the shadow realm—a darker, more dangerous New York—where a nefarious entity has targeted Alec in order to get to me. Hunted and on the run, our one ally may be Detective Vega. Only she’s not my wife there, and I’m on her department’s shoot-to-kill list.
As disappearances in my city climb and dangers in the shadow realm deepen, I’m a wizard caught between realities.
And I’m getting desperate…
Shadow Deep is the 10th novel in the quarter-million selling Croftverse. If you like occult action, spell-crackling suspense, and moments of heart, heroism, and all-out laughter, you’ll love Prof Croft!

About the author

Brad Magnarella writes urban fantasy for the same reason most read it – to explore worlds where magic crackles from fingertips, vampires and shifters walk city streets, cats talk (some excessively), and good prevails against all odds. It’s shamelessly fun.
His three main series, Prof Croft, Blue Wolf, and Maddy Deeds, make up the growing Croftverse, with nearly a half-million books sold to date and an Independent Audiobook Award nomination.
Hopelessly nomadic, Brad can be found in a rented room overseas or hiking America's backcountry.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2021I love this series. Everson Croft has gone from wizard nerd to wizard hero. He has a family and friends and his magic wielding cane plus his potions rock the supernatural world. This book continues Ever son's involvement in the Shadow World. A parallel to our world but much more dark and dangerous. Trying to help friends there, solve disappearances here, and negotiate his ever more complex family life including Tabitha his diva succubus cat...well Everson has a full plate. Really well paced, great characters and first rate creativity make Brad Magnarella one of my favorite authors. Take a chance on this series. You are going to love it.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2021A fun Professor Croft book. As his life evolves I am looking forward to stories.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2022I absolutely adore this author and this series. Additionally, since I listen while reading along, I can share that the narrator brings his own special complementary magic to everything he reads. James Patrick Cronin breathes life into the Croftverse, and he deserves to be lauded for every contribution.
Unlike many longer series that end up inadvertently diluting the quality of the story after the first few novels, the Prof Croft series only gets better with each new installment. The author deftly develops his extremely magical and entertaining world with every word he writes. Magnarella repeatedly proves himself a capable and worthy steward of the entire Croftverse by always paying special attention to the details that show the growth and progression of each storyline, situation, and character. His delightful foreshadowing continues to grow more elegant and subtle, enhancing one’s enjoyment of it exponentially; in the same vein, his artful allusions to other series within the Croftverse are just as commendable.
Indisputably very lovable, the Prof Croft protagonist Everson Croft is someone any good person would be honored to know. However, the author masterfully balances that extreme goodness with characters who run the gamut from acting angelically to irrevocably evil (and every stage in between), so there’s someone in this series for every taste. I am personally quite enraptured by his redemptive character arcs (e.g. Hoffman)!
Shadow Deep shines not only by drawing one in as the story just keeps getting better, but also by truly showcasing Everson’s growth as a wizard and as a person; every fan will cheer each new benchmark. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Thank you for your work, Mr. Magnarella! It’s a desperately needed light in an ever darkening world, and I am eternally a member of Prof Croft’s Strange Brigade. I invite any newbies to join us there, it’s a heck of a fun ride.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2022I have just finished reading all 9 books in this series, many nights reading until daylight was peaking Thru the curtains, including the two novella and the Croft and Tabby books. Guess now I will try the Blue Wolf series and hope for book 10 to be written and released in the near future. I really need to know more of Everson Croft and his close knit family and friend
- Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2021It amazes me how much this author has grown as a story teller. This is a riveting adventure romp that is filled to the brim with action! Great new Monster and more growth in the characters as well. It still has that element of fun that lightens up the books in this series. Love the Man Cave HA HA HA
- Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2021This book continues from where Shadow Duel left off. It was a fun read, with several different storylines all playing out at the same time and plenty of action, as usual.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2024The shadow universe has us in it's grip as the author shows us an eerie parallel world. Without magic, life is much darker here & sometimes it's only your wits keeping you alive. Chaos magic is quickening & the struggles in the shadow world are seeping into the light.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2021Professor Croft is back again, and with a really interesting new story. The shadow world is a stark contrast to our reality, and makes for some really inventive and engaging scenes. The growth of the characters is great to see. Definitely recommend, but would suggest reading in order- there is a lot of world building and character development that happens through the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great book in the series
Another engaging read. I like how the series is progressing, and how the characters continue to develop.
- ChilipepperReviewed in the United Kingdom on November 23, 2021
5.0 out of 5 stars Into the shadows
This book was comfortingly familiar and welcome. Characters we know and love, and a few new
ones to learn about.
Everson has taken on an apprentice, one eager to learn and in need of guidance. As always
when one teaches, it hones his own skills too, and he's going to need them. As is often the case, Croft must save his beloved city.
Beautifully fast-paced (but not overly racing), wonderfully descriptive and a totally immersive
story.
Bring on book 11 please.
- ElaineReviewed in the United Kingdom on January 10, 2022
5.0 out of 5 stars absolutely brilliant
Absolutely brilliant! I could not wait for this book to come
Out and I definitely was not disappointed. Magnarella is an amazing story teller and this series flows seemlessly from one book to the next. Can not wait for the next one.
