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 ...

Trigger by L.P. Dover

My rating:   5 of 5 stars “A killer . . . that’s what I am. It’s what I do.   It’s what I live for.” These lines were what made me decide to read Trigger even before finishing reading the synopsis.   Trigger is a story of love, justice and revenge. It is a story of family and brotherhood. It is the story of Preston Hale and Emma Turner. Preston Hale is a part of a secret group whose main aim is to get justice for those who escaped the legal system. Emma Turner works as a personal assistant for a very powerful man, Glenn Chandler who was the key to bringing Preston and Emma back together.   There was a time when Preston and Emma were very close, right before Preston disappeared without a trace. Fast forward a couple of years and Preston and Emma meet again and their chemistry was stronger than ever. Initially, Preston was not very good towards Emma but his true feelings came forward when Emma’s life was at stake. I loved what all the Chandlers did to bring Pre...

Eleanor & Grey by Brittainy C. Cherry

My rating:  5 of 5 stars “Our love story was so much more than a romantic tale. Our story was about friendship. About family. About looking out for those who always looked out for you.” This quote described Eleanor and Grey’s story better than anything. This story shows that all you need is love and time to mend the broken pieces of a person’s heart. This book is one of a kind and will stay with me for a long time to come. Eleanor and Greyson first met when they were teenagers and Ellie was going through a tough phase of her life. I really loved how Grey was always there even when Ellie distanced herself from him, always helping her deal with her pain and heartache because he understood what she was feeling. I loved how resilient Grey was and how different he was from the characters we always read about. Even though he was popular and a star basketball player, he wasn’t self-absorbed or cocky. He was down-to-earth, patient, kind and lovable. On the other hand, Ellie was strong,...
