Shadow of Doubt is the first book in The Potentate of Atlanta series, a sequel series to another series that I didn't read. Hadley committed the ultimate wrong, but rather than the death penalty which she would typically receive she got a new identity and training to be the potentate of Atlanta. But along with this, she has a shadow desperate for chaos which she has to constantly keep in line.
It's a pretty typical PNR aside from it being pretty slowburn and with a tad of a love triangle twist. The chemistry is pretty obvious straight from the beginning though. There was an oversaturation of certain phrases that really annoyed me, they hyper-fixation on the hair and describing characteristics of the protagonists was a lot. But all in all it was a pretty good start with enough drama to keep me going. I think that it might be a little better if I had read the first series but that's my own fault.
I don't have a lot to say because I have once again already finished the sequel prior to writing this review. They read like popcorn they're incredibly addictive and only mildly fulfilling. But I think if you're a fan of PNR you'll probably be a fan of this series.
