By day, nineteen-year-old Maggie Lane is property manager of Pearl Estates, a posh housing community owned by her father and occupied by Shadows. By night, she's a waitress at a local dive. When a girl at her night job disappears, she dives into Scooby mode. She might be able to handle a missing waitress on her own, but when a new Shadow moves in next door and turns her into a blushing, flirting, love-crazed girl, her need for answers unearths nightmares from her past and monsters of the here and now. It's possible her bad attitude might not be enough to carry her through.
New Adult paranormal romance Shadow Town is the first novel in the Maggie Lane Chronicles. It's approximately 105,000 words.

“You can't always tough it out, sometimes you need to laugh it out.”The Good
This one has a bit of all the things that I enjoy: snark, action, a little mystery, a MoBad heroine, and some spice. MoBad is another of my made up PG words, but you get the point. Maggie is strong and naive at the same time. She's been through so much in her past. It makes her gritty, but in some areas she's never been able to let her walls down so she's truly naive to what life should be like for someone her age. I grew to really love her.
One of the reasons that Maggie means so much to me, is that I felt a connection to her. Granted, I don't run a neighborhood that my evil dad owns crawling with Shadows in Montana or work as a waitress (anymore). Wait, what? It was in those little things that I was really able to connect. Maggie loves to swim every day and I used to be on the swim team in school. She wears crazy t-shirts and makes references to Wonder Woman and Captain America. She's also a painter. I may not paint, but I do love my art and I know what it feels like to get lost in a drawing and being completely transported to a new world.
The setting is a neighborhood called Pearl Estates that Maggie manages so there are quite a few characters of all varieties in the residents that live there. I really enjoyed all the minor players. There are a LOT of important men. Don't get me wrong, they are not all vying for her attention because she only has eyes for one. They are all there playing their own roles. All mysterious, all vital, and all grew on me. One thing that Jones does so well is really get you to care about the people you're reading about.
The action and mystery are wonderful. I felt like I knew exactly what was going on the whole time, them BAM! Ha, didn't know exactly after all. I really appreciated those surprises.
The Bad
Due to the build up and getting to know the characters, the action does come slowly. I found that this doesn't bother me personally since I enjoyed getting to know more about Maggie. The paranormal aspects and mystery were always present, but it is important to know that there are slow parts throughout as well.
The Romance
Maggie is out of school. She manages Pearl Estates and works as a waitress with some rough customers, but she's never had a boyfriend. Enter Damon. He's hot, her's, and he'll wait until she realizes it. I love it.
There are some nice steamy scenes to enjoy but it's built up well. I can't wait to see more of these two.
Conclusion
Wonderful characters, giggle-inducing snark and dialogue, great mystery, action, and romance are all in this story. Absolutely recommended.

Shadow Town Maggie Lane Chronicles #1 edition by Robyn Jones Romance eBooks Reviews
Started off driving me a little crazy but just as I was about to put it down it began to rock. Pick this book up and you won't put it down. Read it all in one night and can't wait for the next one.
I one-clicked Shadow Town the day it released because Robyn Jones...she knows how to write a story. She creates these vivid worlds - and I don't mean fantasy worlds - but the colorful every day world that you become fully immersed in. She imparts creative stories with new spins within the paranormal genre. She creates charismatic and quirky characters. And her words...oh, I love how she draws images with her words.
Maggie Lane is one tough chick. She's brave and fierce, and, as she's discovering, loving. Maggie had a s*** life - truly. She's been beaten down, literally, both physically and psychologically. And she's still fighting - both for herself and any others she feels have been wronged or need protecting. Maggie sees herself as scary and mean but she's really quite sweet. She thinks her super power is seeing the Shadows - something she's been able to do for as long as she can remember. Once she finds out what this really means and secrets start being revealed, she learns she has a much greater super power.
She does manage to get herself into situations she can trouble getting out of. Luckily, she's managed to surround herself, recently, with enough good people who do what they can to protect her and save her (try to) from all the bad.
Shadow Town has quite the quirky cast of characters. There are evil parents and neighbors, jerky bartenders, a sweet little old grandma, dorky teenagers, the Shadows, whom she's always steered clear of, creepy bosses, and HOT best friends and boyfriends. Oh, and an adorable couple that Maggie works her matchmaking magic on, along with a little boy who finds Maggie is just what he needs.
Shadow Town is exciting and entertaining. We get to follow along as Maggie goes about solving mysteries and learns more about herself and the Shadows she's been living with. It's a lot of fun and terrifying at the same time. Yes, really. It was enjoyable watching Maggie make friends and fall in love, two things she's rather unfamiliar with. However, some of the predicaments she found herself in - well, I don't know if I could have been as brave or resourceful as she was.
Now, let's talk about my new book boyfriends - yes, plural. ;) There's Branden, Michael, and Damon. So as not give anything away, I'm going to describe them but not give the matching name. One is the best friend a girl could ever ask for. He's kind and brutally honest - yes, those can co-exist. Another appears one night with all his charm and sexy voice. He does his level best to woo her. And then there the last of the trio who is so sweet and possessive and caring and STUNNED when Maggie chooses him. They all are protective, loyal, and just love Maggie to pieces. But she only has eyes for one of these HOT boys!
My only issue with Shadow Town was that it was a bit slow out of the gate for me. I really wanted to understand the Shadows and that information was slow in coming. Of course, that was all part of Ms. Jones' master plan. I loved the little twist on the paranormal that was revealed. And I think you will, too.
Shadow Town was inventive and a lot of fun. It was a great introduction into Maggie Lane's world and I not above begging to get the next installment as soon as humanly possible!
