Shadow Slayers is one of Nellie H. Steele’s longest-running series, with nine books published between 2020 and 2026. The series deals with paranormal and supernatural threats, starting with Shadows of the Past and Stolen Portrait Stolen Soul in 2020. Later books like Darkness Rising, In the Shadow of Darkness, and Hellscape suggest the stakes keep climbing.
The series has a darker tone than Steele’s cozy mysteries, leaning into urban fantasy and paranormal suspense. With nine books and counting, there is a substantial story here for readers who like their mysteries with a supernatural edge.
