The Darkness Within by Rebecca Hefner

The Darkness Within (Etherya's Earth Book 3)
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


The titles of all of Rebecca’s books have always been very symbolic and this one doesn’t disappoint either. The Darkness Within kept me engrossed since the beginning. We first met Darkrip and Arderin in The End of Hatred and since then their respective stories have always been at the back of my mind, no matter what I was reading at the time. 

Darkrip was so tortured because of his past actions and because of who his father was and felt that he wasn’t worthy of love. Nothing could be farther from the truth. He used his rudeness towards Arderin as a defense mechanism whenever he felt things he shouldn’t (according to him) towards her. But, Arderin never let him get away with it and that was one of the most admirable thing about her character. She kept him on his toes and fought for him with her everything. There were times when Darkrip crossed the line in making her hate him but Arderin never gave up. 

Darkrip’s transformation from before their captivity to after was astounding. Towards the end I thought he could give Latimus some serious competition in being the best book boyfriend. There was considerably less action in this book compared to the previous ones but Darkrip and Arderin were so different from all the others because of which I think it was important to focus more on their individual characters along with their love story and Rebecca portrayed that beautifully. 

Throughout this book, we also get to see more of Sathan and Miranda’s and Latimus and Lila’s lives and how they are progressing forward. And, if you think Darkrip was a complex character, just wait for Evie. I am sure Kenden and Evie are going to be explosive together and I can’t wait to read about them.

The Elusive Sun by Rebecca Hefner

My rating:  5 of 5 stars The Elusive Sun far surpassed my expectations. If you liked The End of Hatred then you will absolutely love The Elusive Sun. A big congratulations to Rebecca Hefner for writing yet another enthralling novel. The Elusive Sun is the story of Latimus, Sathan’s brother and the vampyre army’s commander and Lila, the sweet aristocrat who will definitely win your heart. I was so excited for their story ever since I first came across the two characters in The End of Hatred and I must say it was worth the wait. I think I liked Latimus even more than Sathan. Even though he was mean before, his transition after what happened to Lila amazed me. He was strong, sweet and so romantic in his efforts to court Lila that it made me swoon. But, at the same time he was a warrior at heart. Lila was kind, resilient and her true strength was highlighted after she suffered a major tragedy. I loved how Latimus was always there for Lila and vice versa even when they did their best ...

The End of Hatred by Rebecca Hefner

My rating: 5 of 5 stars The End of Hatred is the first part in a series which takes the readers into a world created by goddess Etherya. This world consisted of four species namely, the Slayers, the Vampyres, the Deamons and the humans. There was a time when the Slayers and the Vampyres used to live peacefully with each other, however, because of one instance their truce ended and the species were at war. Both Miranda and Sathan aspired to bring peace among their kinds and to end hatred. However, there were too many obstacles to overcome to achieve this goal and they fought valiantly to overcome those obstacles. I loved how different yet so alike Miranda and Sathan were. Sathan was stable to Miranda's impulsive nature and the calm to her storm. Sathan had an aura about him that made him very intriguing and likable. He was authoritative when needed to be, level-headed and practical. Miranda was fearless, passionate and at times a little impulsive but that just added more cha...

Saving Hanna by A.L. Long

My rating:  3 of 5 stars I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Saving Hanna is a short and sweet novella by A.L. Long. It is a wonderful love story between Hanna who had lived her entire life on her farm until she was forced to move away and Aiden, a greedy and powerful millionaire. Hanna was a true farm girl until she was forced to move away because of the consequences of her brother, Carter’s greed. after which she started working at a diner to support herself and to save her farm. Aiden was a true businessman down to his roots who bought the farm and wanted to buy the diner. He visited the diner regularly as a result of which he met Hanna for the first time. Aiden was sweet, protective and had a good head on his shoulders. I felt like he was a good contrast to Hanna’s gentle nature. There were times I felt Hanna was being childish and impulsive like running away multiple times without telling Aiden and not giving him a chance ...
