Bloody Hell Man!!!I wanted to strangle Xander in this book, he got far closer to Darian than I wanted (can you tell I'm a Tyler girl - all the way!!!) but then he turns the books on the very last line!What a cliff hanger!!Darian, as usual, finds herself in locked combat with her marks and in a tie with Lorik, a sneezy guy from the first books, a guy who was a human friend to Azriel... Lorik is back and wants Darian's help but we know that we can't really trust him, we know he should be long gone from this world and yet he's still around... and we find out why...Tyler is now facing his crime that he committed towards the King, Xander! He's also making the Synod unhappy...Asher is now Darian's body guard, whether she likes it or not, lucky for Asher, she thinks he is a great kid... with lots of magic... but his job is not an easy one...What a book - what an ending and the characters are just amazing... I need the next book now!!! This has got to be one of my fav series out there. In against the dawn, Darian is trying to come to terms with the recent traumatic events and trying to deal with the ramifications of the effect Kade had on not only her but the relationships she holds most dear. Not to give too much away but Darian uses a person from her past to try and take her mind off things going on around her, but as he once did before Lorik causes trouble for Darian that she is forced to clean up. Not only does she have to deal with a pissed off king of the shaedes, who tries to buy her affections with a very deadly, and magically inclined pair of daggers but Xander's grudge against her Jinn, Tyler is about to come bite them both in the ass! I really loved this book, as Darian, despite her being a supernatural badass, is surprisingly human and the events of her entrapment by Kade leave her captive of human emotions, panic attacks and the shame of her actions for a man she despised. Her love for Tyler and her conflicting feelings for Xander complicate matters and I found myself almost shouting when the book ended because I wanted more there and then and I wasn't going to get it!Amanda Bonilla has created a world of unique characters,tainted heroes and a series that leaves you hungry for more. If you crave something different from the supernatural world then this is the series for you......brilliant, unique and masterfully detailed, Against the Dawn is a wonderful fourth installment of the series and I would very much like the fifth, as in now please :-)
What do You think about Against The Dawn (2014)?
My favorite of the series yet. But DAMN YOU, Cliffhanger! You striked again.
