About this listen
Staff Sergeant Alexandra Foster has returned from her deployment in Kabul, Afghanistan, but the memories of her time there still haunt her. A year later, she’s tried to push aside the horrors she endured, yet the nightmares persist. On the nights when she wakes up screaming, Liam is there to comfort her, helping her cope with the trauma of facing the infamous Shadow and his men. Though she completed her mission and defeated them, her mind remains at war with the lingering darkness. Just as Alex starts to feel grounded and regain her sense of normalcy, a high-ranking official arrives with a new, dangerous assignment. The mission takes her back to the same region she barely escaped from unscathed. This time, the threat is different: Sayid, father of the Shadow, knows who killed his son and is out for revenge. Now, Alex must decide whether to engage in a deadly cat-and-mouse game with one of the most dangerous men in the country or risk falling into the hands of her enemies.

Welcome to Silver Falls University, where the elite come to thrive. My life as a queen bee was always traced for me. I'm rich, I come from an influential family, and I constructed my personality to become the girl everyone wants to be. I rule Silver Falls University with bright smiles and the pretense of being everyone's friend. But in a place where toxic rich kids love to see others fall, no one is safe.

Story
The Elite Kings Club left a trail of fear behind every person who whispered their names throughout the centuries that they'd existed. They were the product of every nightmare you were told as a child, only now, they don't go bump in the night. They race modified cars, throw parties to conceal their morbid games, and leave behind the kind of chaos that can never be tamed. They were from an ancient bloodline of the three Founding Fathers, and it was almost time for them to plunge deeper into the depths of hell.

Story
I lie to one of the city's most ruthless men—and it feels so good. Deception is a drug, and I'm quickly becoming an addict. Each time we speak, Zuko has no idea it's me. The lie tastes sweet leaving my mouth. I couldn't stop now, even if I wanted to—which I don't. He thinks our conversations are more than just sex. He's wrong. The intimacy he feels is all a facade. Until the day an embodiment of my darkest fantasies walks into my bar, and his unmistakable voice sends a shiver down my spine. It turns out I'm not the one in control.

Story
Harmon Keyes lives by a singular motto: Family first, justice for all. It’s the creed that sustained him when he left special forces and started an ex-military motorcycle club. There, his creed drove him to put his unique skills to good use righting the wrongs left unpunished by the law. But there’s one wrong he’s been waiting years to make right and her name is Daria Sinclair. Family first. Daria’s father is Harmon’s sworn enemy—the man who destroyed his sister’s life. Justice for all. Daria is his ticket to vengeance, and her innocent nature makes her the perfect pawn in his revenge.

Story
To grandmother’s house I go, though I want nothing to do with magic or my former life. Especially not after being kicked out of the Fairy Fine Arts Academy. But when I find a dangerous, heavily scarred wolf shifter in my grandma’s bedroom, the fragile human lifestyle I've built from scratch is suddenly at stake. Magic, chaos, and my past is charging at me like a raging ogre on pixie sticks. My grandma is nowhere to be found, and I’m being hunted.

My First

Staff Sergeant Alexandra Foster is more than a soldier—she’s a woman carrying the weight of loss, duty, and unresolved wounds. Through her eyes, you experience the razor-thin line between bravery and vulnerability. Hilley masterfully captures Alex’s inner struggles—the fear that comes with every mission, the guilt that haunts her from past choices, and the desperate hope that somehow, some way, things can be made right.
But what truly stands out are the relationships. The camaraderie between Alex and her fellow soldiers feels genuine and hard-earned. There’s warmth in their banter, a sharp contrast to the cold reality of their environment, and every loss or separation hits like a punch to the chest. Hilley brings out the complexities of these connections—the tension, the trust, and the unspoken promises forged in combat. You’ll feel your heart clench when friendships are tested and break when they’re lost.
There’s also something deeply personal about how Hilley explores grief and resilience. You’re not just reading about Alex’s trauma—you’re living it with her, through every sleepless night, every flashback, and every moment she reaches for strength she isn’t sure she has. And when she finds that strength, you feel the triumph as if it were your own.
The emotions in this book stay with you long after the final page—anger at the injustice Alex faces, pride in her perseverance, and a bittersweet ache for the connections that war cannot destroy but can forever change. The Shadows Return isn’t just a story; it’s an experience—a raw, deeply human exploration of love, loss, and the cost of survival.
