The Sweetest Dark (2013) - Plot & Excerpts

Closer to a 3 1/2 but went with four since that's not an option.When Eleanor, an orphan, is sent to an exclusive school for young ladies she does not expect to entrance the son of a duke or to find herself discovering ancient secret passages in a castle now turned school called Iverson. Nor did she expect to find herself in a love triangle between the duke and the garden boy. And she didn't think that all three of them would have magic - with hers the most powerful magic of all. This continuation of the Drakon series by Shana Abe certainly intrigued me but I didn't feel it equaled the work done at the start of the series. It kept me intrigued enough that I am reading book two to see what happens with our love triangle. Not a bad start.Lora is moved to a new school, Iverson because of the German bombing of London. There she meets two boys; Jesse and Armand. She learns about herself and the fact that her world isn't what she thought.My biggest issue was with Jesse and Lora. I didn't like how the became all googly eyes with each other at the first glance. I understand that they love each other and stuff, but I feel that the fact that they were 'in love' with each other at first glance didn't work. I didn't how she kept talking about the fact that she couldn't wait for the night so that she could spend it with Jesse. I personally felt that Lora and Armand had more chemistry together.I liked the little twist at the end as well. It was a good blend of history into this novel. The war is in the background, but not entirely forgotten. Overall, I didn't mind this book. I thought that it wasn't a bad start to a series, I just didn't like Jesse and Lora. I'm really interested to see where this series is going to go next.

I love almost everything I've read by Shanna Abe. This was great! Bittersweet ending.

Is this a spin-off of her Drakon series?! The blurb kinda sounds like it.
