A recent legacy made Cassandra Palmer heir to the title of Pythia, the world's chief clairvoyant. It's a position that usually comes with years of training, but Cassie's circumstances are a little...unusual. Now she's stuck with a whopping amount of power that every vamp, fey, and mage in town wants to either monopolize or eradicate—and that she herself doesn't dare use.
What's more, she's just discovered that a certain arrogant master vampire has a geis on her—a magical claim that warns off any would-be suitors, and might also explain the rather intense attraction between them. But Cassie has had it with being jerked around, and anyone who tries it from now on is going to find out that she makes a very bad enemy.

"(3.6 stars) I truly wasn't enjoying this book until Cassie gave in and let Tomas complete the ritual (about half way through) to be Pythia. Amazingly, she stopped whining (somewhat) which helped improve my mood towards the book a great deal. "

“A fair maiden tough enough to kick [vampire] butts.”
— Rebecca York, USA Today bestselling author Shadow of the Moon“An engaging heroine.”
— Kelley Armstrong, USA Today bestselling author of Broken“Ms. Chance is a master at fleshing out her secondary characters and keeping her storyline moving at a lightening fast pace. Cassie remains the funny and smart heroine we came to love in book one. She solves her own problems and trusts her intuition. This is a series well worth getting hooked on.”
— FreshFiction.com“The much anticipated sequel to Touch the Dark, Claimed by Shadow picks up right where Cassie left off in the first book, infused with a power she doesn’t want. From tacky Vegas showgirl costumes to moveable tattoo parlors to a zombie Elvis, Karen Chance takes readers on another wild ride with never-ending action. Claimed by Shadow should not be missed.”

— Livia, 3/30/2011" This second in the series was SO much better than the first. I am definitely a lot more "into" the characters now. Things have started to come together and it's looking like it's going to be a great series! "
