She thought she wanted the truth. Now she’d give anything to forget it.

New OSS trainee Jenny Ryan is brimming with equal parts excitement and fear. She is one step closer to serving her country overseas, but when her ambition costs her dearly, she realizes the fight has come to her and love has turned to lies.

OSS instructor Kathryn Hammond is no stranger to sacrifice. But when doing her job means sending the woman she loves into the churn of war, her devotion to duty is tested like never before.

When shocking revelations and the cruel march of time threaten their love, will Kat and Jenny embrace the truth and find each other again before it’s too late?

An incredible book 3 in this series!

I enjoyed every moment of the WLW Casablanca series. JE Leak's writing is tremendous as she gives such depth and complexity to all her characters. My only regret is that book 4 isn't out yet. I was addicted the second I began listening. ABBY CRADEN IS ICONIC in her performance. THANK YOU JE LEAK AND ABBY CRADEN for sharing your brilliance with us! Bring on book 4 and Abby Craden better be on board😊.

unbreak my heart

I was in tears, the whole time I'm like "Cathrine what are you doing?!" and then with the Mcguffin reveal I was like... oh.... the audacity, the sacrifice, I'm more than a little devistated.

Tough listen but worth every second.

In the third book of this excellent series J.E.Leak has written Kat’s story. Starting with the searing prelude to book one, Kat’s “truth” is incredibly hard to read and yes her betrayal’s are unforgivable in any other context. That said, as a special forces combat veteran, it’s a miracle that she has not already surrendered to her demons.

Jenny is a hero in this tale who reminds me of the videos made by Army and Marine Corps spouses declaring their “war” to save their spouses from PTSD. This will be a hard story to finish but I can’t think of two characters so deserving of grace.

Finally, thank you Abbie Craden for bringing this story to life. Your performance helped bring emotional clarity to essential truth of this story.

You’ll listen again and again!

Smart writing with a story to keep us thoroughly engaged! And of course Abby Craden brings the characters to life like few others can. Her sultry voice is perfect for Kathryn’s character. I can hardly wait for book 4! I am definitely following this Author to see what she brings us next after this series!

I'm not sure if the plot got lost

*some spoilers!* i enjoyed books 1 and 2, but I really got annoyed with book 3. The constant self-pity of Katherine and everything had to be Jenny's fault, and never Katherine's fault was annoying. I was also bewildered how it was always Jenny who had to fix a relationship regardless of how Katherine's character was developed. A letter? really? That was the only explanation that she tried to make a relationship work? the story was also a bit confusing with time changes at random times, and also, i felt the story lost its path. it felt rushed. the death of the main villain was picking up in books 1 and 2, and all of a sudden, in book 3 with no build-up, we find out in a newspaper.... i'm not sure if I want to keep on with this character development of Katherine. i can really tell the author puts a lot of emphasis on this character, and everything is about her. it's a nevet ending internal struggle w her that iy is utterly tiring to listen to.

A Worthy Addition to an Exciting Series

Despite its length, despite (or possibly because) my vacillating disgust for the MC, Kathryn Hammond, In the Shadow of Truth kept me engrossed in the ongoing saga of Jenny & Kat.

Great Book

All Shadow books have been great but this one hit it out of the park. Another A 1 performance by Abby Craden. Can’t wait for next installment.

Amazing

Oh my goodness, this book was outstanding. The storyline had me on the edge, not knowing how it would end and all along great story J.E Leak. I was praying that there would be another book to this saga. Abby Craden narrated the heck out of this book. Thank you all.

Incredible story and narration

Extremely engaging story, very romantic, and extremely distressing at times, kept me at the edge of my seat throughout the whole experience. I’ve read the book before listening to the audiobook, and the narration by Abby Craden really takes it to another level, absolutely incredible performance! Can’t wait for the 4th audiobook to be released!
