Shielder Series






I have always been a paranormal fan ever since my mom let me read Moonbeams and Magic by Janelle Taylor. I like futuristic stories about other galaxies and space travel, but I like Paranormal because it combines romance and science fiction.


I found the author Catherine Spangler by mistake. I saw a book in the bookstore called
Shadow Fires. The cover looked beautiful and the plot sounded good. A young woman named Jenna who had visions was looked upon a freak by her race. She becomes a bride to a warlike species called the Leors who were
humanoids cross breed with reptiles. The Leors are seeking brides from other races because their race is not producing offspring. Jenna struggles to fit in to the world on Saura which has slaves and is a desert world. I like the book so much that I backtracked and went to the beginning.

In Shadower, Sabin Travers works as (Shadower)a bounty hunter to earn money for his race ,the Shielders. who are being hunted down because they can not be mind probed. He meets Moriah Cameron, a smuggler who has had a bad past with Shadowers. In Shielder, Nessa Ranul is shunned by her people because she is lame and suffers seizures. She agrees to be injected with a virus that is killing Shielders and travels to get it to another Shielder colony. Her ship breaks down and she is rescued by Shadower Chase McKnight who is actually a Physician whose world was destroyed by a similar virus. Nessa needs to get to her destination in 4 weeks. Shadowers are hunting Shielders so she can't tell Chase the truth. In Shamara, Nessa's older brother Jarek is trying to find a safe haven for his people. Eirene Kane is on the run from being traded to a Leor warrior as a bride. Jarek realizes that she is an enchancer, a race with special healing abilities that is thought to be extinct. He needs her help but he killed her father many years ago in self defense.

In Shadow Crossing, Moriah's younger sister ,Celie and Chase and Nessa's daughter Raven, making shocking discoveries about their clients who may be both royalty and androids. Celie fears men because he father was a Shadower who sold her and Moriah as endentured servants. Raven is young and ready for romance. What will happen when both girls meet Jardonian royalty?


I love the characters in the Shielder world. So many races all in another galaxy. I wish the author would write more Shielder books.
