In a world where shadows come to life, a young girl with an extraordinary gift emerges – the power of light itself. Kirie, in this captivating coming-of-age tale, possesses the rare ability to manipulate and control light at will. However, her strange gift is both a blessing and a curse. With a helicopter mother determined to keep her abilities hidden, Kirie struggles to form attachments with her peers and find her place in the world of teen books.
One fateful night, malevolent beings born from the very absence of light emerge from the darkness and destroy all she holds dear, leaving Kirie to question everything she knew about her reality. Hunted and on the run, Kirie is soon discovered by The Society of Light, an ancient organization that recruits and trains Agents of Light to battle against the ever-encroaching darkness. Among these agents is Luca, a mysterious boy with gem-green eyes and a magnetic energy that draws Kirie in. Their connection hints at a young adult fantasy romance that blossoms amidst chaos.
As the battle between Agents of Light and Shadowmen escalates, Kirie must make a choice. Will she follow her own path or join The Society in its fight against darkness? With time running out and the world teetering on the brink of eternal night, Kirie must face her deepest fears and embrace her destiny as the world's brightest hope in this enthralling young adult fiction.
Light shines brightest in the dark.
Against all odds, Kirie survived The Order’s most deadly assassin. Now she is immersed in Agent of Light battle training at the Rome Center of Light, a crucial part of her coming of age journey. But the Shadowmen aren’t done with her yet. Rumored to be the brightest Agent of all time, they will stop at nothing to extinguish her light.
Across the Atlantic, Luca throws himself into work to hide from his inner Shadows and the girl he cannot forget but feels he doesn’t deserve. As he navigates his own struggles, he soon uncovers a plot to destroy the world—and everyone’s in on it. To make matters worse, he stumbles upon proof of a mole hidden within The Society of Light. Not knowing who to trust, Luca embarks on a high-stakes mission to stop The Order’s genocidal plans, a mission he suspects will be his last.
With the magnetic connection between Kirie and Luca growing stronger each day, the ill-fated lovers find themselves in a deadly battle on enemy soil where the lines between Light and Dark are blurred.

"It was your energy. It calls to me. I could find you in a crowded room, a frozen wasteland... anywhere. There's nowhere in the world where I can't find you."
Jillian! You’re onto something here! The whole concept of this book is amazing and I absolutely loved it! The characters and the story line was beautifully written and so creatively brought to life. This book hooked me in, and I was reading every opportunity I got. While the beginning of the book seemed geared towards a younger audience, possibly early teens, my perspective shifted as the story deepened. I would highly recommend this book as it offers a unique concept that blends elements of coming of age with teen fantasy. The fantasy and the slow burn romance in this young adult fiction are sooo good!!!
That kiss was everything! I was literally silently screaming when it happened lol.
Loved! This coming of age story completely took me by surprise and I can't wait for more! The connection between each character and twist had me so hooked. I loved the suspense, the trauma, and the tie between history and modern day. As a fan of teen books and young adult fiction, the tension was perfect, and I can't wait to see how this young adult fantasy romance will progress and what is going to happen next. This made me emotional, and I felt so connected to our FMC.
The second book in this young adult fantasy romance trilogy is absolutely fantastic. From the moment I started this young adult fiction book, I was mesmerized by the vivid world-building imagery and intricate twists and turns of events that J.B. Tucker used! The coming-of-age characters Kirie, Arin, Alena, and Lucas became more developed and complex, captivating the reader and making them feel like they are part of your family. The pacing is perfect, balancing intense action with emotional depth. The cliffhanger ending has left me eagerly awaiting the final installment. Shadow Men is a must-read for any teen books and young adult fantasy lover that I cannot recommend highly enough!
[Shadowmen is] an excellent follow-up to Bright Ones! If you enjoy coming of age stories with morally grey MMCs and socially awkward MFCs, as well as themes of light vs darkness, old-world religious undertones, and secret societies, this Young Adult Fantasy Romance is the book for you!! With unhinged antagonists, it's a captivating addition to the teen books and Young Adult Fiction genres.
